This week I decided to have another go at making a yarn bowl to learn from some of the problems I had last week. Last time I made a green bowl to co-ordinate with my yarn so this time I made a monochrome one using black, white and grey polymer clay so it will go with any colour yarn.
No cracks this week, but I forgot to take a photograph of the inside. It’s pretty much the same as last week.
This time I cut the holes opposite the curl for structural strength.
I got a little bit carried away decorating the underside of the bowl since most of the time it’s not visible.
I think this coming week I need to think of a less time-consuming project for my 2016 Polymer Clay Challenge since this one is pretty late. I’ll be posting this to my Flickr group.

Ooh, lovely!! I really love these yarn bowls… the appliquéd outside just makes them so beautiful! Well done!
Thanks. 🙂 I wish it wasn’t so time consuming though.
Wow. That is AMAZING! It looks gorgeous!
Thanks.
I just love it. The black on white is so striking, then the gradient bits on the side. Very well done.

Is the bowl made from polymer clay too? It’s so beautiful! 😊
I made an inner bowl with polymer clay, then a layer of plaster bandages for extra strength and then a decorative layer on the outside.
