woven paper baskets 2.

first time i tried to wove paper it was back in 2008 (http://papirildi.blogspot.ro/2008/10/cos-din-hartie.html) now the fever got me again,not for long i guess.the wip bowl-basket is actually spinned paper that was hard to do for my hands(though a good exercise for musician fingers)but i like the result.i'm thanking my facebook friends for the switching the desire by inspiration....shame on me i left a lot of paper beads unpainted...and having quite a lot of...

have an inspired Sunday,bests,ildi

recently finished old cup

while still recovering form a bad could witch ended up with a nice pneumonia i "finally"

managed to finish and old wip(well still got to varnish it,but i already call it finished...i can't wait).

pour thing had its leg broken and it had a few more weak points but i did not rushed
and resolved them slowly as time and mood let me...

i don't have "how to build "pictures but i tell you i made it over the same type of milk jug i use for this kind of cups (called "MILLI"milk) using both methods -strips and pulp-and i love that shape that can easily become something else for ex.a princess dress if turned upside down lol...

when i reached the painting part i thought i may use one of my pattern sketches over it (see the blue paint version) but it was not only v difficult but also not v effective so i let it go and made something" lighter" using paper coils (not a bit of clay i swear! that medium is making me with the eye from a long time but i'm a stubborn head and have this silly ambition of "pure"paper...well at least regarding this cup lol).
i made the coils with the same method i wrote about a few posts ago..

.

this is the final product,i don't know what's coming

next i could make a nice mosaic of unfinished stuffs waiting in different places...
