This bowl is made with a silk hankie. Hankies are silk cocoons that are soaked in water and then stretched on a wood frame. The hankies I purchased were white and I painted a few of them. I then added some threads and yarn. A stiffener was painted on and the hankie was placed over a bowl to dry. This is another technique that I learned from a class I am taking from SueB at Joggles.

Fannie, I think I will sigh up to take Sue's Journal Making class also.
Thank you Wurzerl.
How fun, Jacq!
Love this bowl made with the silk hankie.... gorgeous! Might have a go at one of these to put some Easter Eggs in! Do you ever check out the site for The Thread Studio as they sell beautifully dyed silk hankies which would look great done this way.
Thanks for sharing and if you email me I will send you one of the beautifully dyed silk hankies for your next project. williams@dcsi.net.au
p.s. what sort of stiffener did you paint on the bowl first?
