Sculpture - final bowl project and results

Here's the final rose petal bowl project:

It has petals from three different roses in it, all hand sewn together with white cotton thread, then crystallised by painting with egg white and sprinkling with castor sugar. The brief was to create something like a bowl, from any material we wished. It's lovely, rather brittle and very fragile, and smells of musk or pink turkish delight.

I collected my journal with my results in it today, I was given a high distinction for the subject. Very happy with that. :)

This is the last in a series of posts showing the development of two projects for my Tafe class Small Objects Making. See my second project, the Broken City glass and shadow sculpture at 11, or to see all the work in development, have a look at these:
