Rope Bowl Finishes

I took a rope bowl workshop with Jeanette @ Stamp Stitch Create.  Jeanette shared helpful tricks and hints from her experience making bowls.

I realize that my past attempts were not successful because I wasn't using the right rope.  Jeanette suggested Rope Shop, which is a Canadian company.  What a difference using the right materials makes in the final product.

I started with a 6.5-inch base.  And then I used my new rivet press to finish off the end.  I don't have a purpose for this bowl yet, but I have it displayed in my living room at the moment.

We were working with 100 feet of rope at the workshop.  I didn't use all my rope on my large bowl, so I used the rest to make a smaller bowl.  This has a 4.5-inch base.  I've already gifted this to a co-worker who is being transferred to another department.

I "may" have gone in on a group order and purchased 1,500 feet of rope. 😀
