The other day I made a serving tray with leaves. When I pushed up the sides of the form which was rectangular the corners were higher than the other part of the sides. Then it dawned on me that I could cut the corners out and miter them as I've done in sewing. So that's what I did for this serving tray with flowers.
After I cut out the squares from the corners I decided to add them to the corners as an embellishment. I thought about adding some handles to these but couldn't come up with an idea I liked. I'll have to do some research on handles. Any suggestions?
Here's the first serving tray I made with the water color leaves. You can see from this angle but the corners are higher than the sides. I suppose I could have cut off the corners but I left them. I might go back and add some definition to the leaves on this one.
I also made a few more of my window sill mini pots.
And here are a few heart ring dishes, hopefully I'll get them finished before Valentine's day. I'm working at the gallery in Hiawassee today and tomorrow is my caning class so I'll be busy the next few days. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.
Hi Linda! This is one of my favorite of yours yet :)
ReplyDeleteHi Keith, thanks, guess I'm wishing I had flowers blooming now. Ha
DeleteLovely platter.
ReplyDeleteHi Gigi, thanks so much
DeleteGreat idea, I love it.
ReplyDeleteHi Lori, thanks, isn't it funny what we can add to a pot, four squares, who knew
DeleteI love the corner treatment with the cone-flower tray. It adds to the structure, as well as looks so nice to have those extra outside flowers.
ReplyDeleteHi Barbara, thanks, right after I added the squares it came to me to add a flower on each one, wasn't easy brushing them sideways. ha.
DeleteLove that tray - and the extra detail on the corners adds to it.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, thanks, I''m going to remind myself to think about other additions to pots.
DeleteLove the water color technique...yep it is me...Dee...I am back to my blog. I have been looking at past blog posts and I was wondering how your dear Betty is doing ?
ReplyDeleteHi Dee, thanks, Betty is doing fine just weird scruffling up under bedcovers and blankets I put out for her, perhaps she is cold so she can keep warm that way which is a good thing.
DeleteYou sure are a busy girl, Linda. These are great. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Lee, thanks, trying to keep warm this cold winter, luckily I have a space heater in the basement. Ha.
DeleteGreat idea to miter, then use the squares. I like how it looks.
ReplyDeleteHi Barbara, thanks, funny how things just pop into my mind sometimes.
