The Message Bowl

Inside the Victorian cash box were three cash bowls, I removed them and made three new bowls from tissue paper mache.

 

During the layering process of this bowl I included snippets of mums love letters that I had printed onto cream paper, and a few verses from the prayer book she had been given as a child.

 

I used blue and gold organza strips to embellish it further and also a corner of an apricot organza scarf on which I had printed the 'Evening Prayer' - which had been bookmarked with a piece of fern from her wedding bouquet.

 

I placed a few shells inside it, one of which had a snippet from her prayer book and another I put a photograph of her as a young woman. Lastly I sprinkled in a few hand made rose petal beads.
