Stitched Seaweed Bowl

Seaweed bowl catching the light

The experiments with seaweed continue with this stitched seaweed bowl (for earlier experiments see Seaweed Experiment: Stitching Seaweed, and Stitching Seaweed: A Luminaria). What I learned in the course of stitching, molding, and drying this piece provides valuable information for ongoing experiments, though I think the result here is rather lovely on its own.

A final piece from this round of seaweed experiments will appear in a few days.
