I did this bowl for a black and white themed show coming up at Artel in Pensacola.
I formed the bowl with plaster cloth and after it was dry I painted with encaustic and used a bit of gauze to add some more texture. I also used gauze and encaustic to secure the piece of driftwood to the bowl and then added seashells on top of the gauze.
I did add some bit of silver here and there but it is hard to see in the photos

Showing off 2 more small baskets today made with seashell slices as a base. The first one was done while on our trip back home to Nebraska earlier this month for a wedding. the second was started while waiting for my Hubby who was having surgery.
The beads on the second basket were made with plaster cloth, a layer of encaustic, a layer of silk fabric and another layer of encaustic.
I have a basket class coming up that I am teaching at HH ARTS GALLERY in Fort Walton Beach - just drop me a message if you are interested(not many folks visit here anymore)- it wont let me upload the flyer....

Yesterday was a very long day!!! My hubby had surgery and between a three-hour delay to start and 4 hours in the recovery room waiting for a floor bed to be ready.......well at least I brought my basket making stuff, and a book!! (and played on my phone and wandered around.....)
Both baskets are about 6.5 inches long by 6 wide and about 2.5 and 3 inches deep.
I used seashell slices for the base and some seashell beads on the first one and some pretty orange beads on the second.
I was using a slightly thicker cord than I usually do so these each took me about 3.5 hours working time to do.
