Handmade Mikado Bowl

 
 
Again inspiration was derived from the great Gregor Lersch, to create a bowl using the chicken mesh technique and threading through the gaps with mikado reeds.
 



I used this techinique in a competition design, as above, and created a more dense outer edge and left the centre more open for my flowers.  These were two different coloured Calla Lillies, Green Trick Carnation and Crespidea.

Again with so many of the european designs this type of base material left the flower options open to interpretation and various combinations were endless, the bowl could even be turned around and hung from a celling!


 
The Above: These are some inspirational images and DO NOT belong to me and IS NOT my own work.
