Well, as you know I recently fell in love...with the ceramics of Annette Bugansky (see post below), but I can't justify that kind of purchase right now, so I decided to make my own...kind of. Annette knits a form for each piece and then casts it in porcelain. (er, something like that) Well, I don't knit, and I really haven't cast anything in porcelain lately (ok, never), so I had to come up with some other way. So I felted up one of those wool sweaters that I have been collecting for years (you too, huh?) and found some tiny galvanized pots in my cupboard that I could just squeeze into the cuff, and voila...the wooly vase was born. It took me about five minutes to make two of them. I think it's quite cute, actually. And for now it will have to do!
