The Rose 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 some pressed rose petals from mums funeral flowers and some snippets from her diary's, which I printed onto tissue paper. Once dried I stitched semi-dried rose petals onto the bowl with metalic threads. I further embellished this with torn strips of apricot chiffon, some of which were stitched into the bowl and others held with golden studs in swathes around the outside of the bowl.
Once finished I placed three dried, purple roses inside (again from her funeral flowers), I then sprinkled them with hand made rose petal beads.
