jdeery - I'd love to see pictures of your ruched flowers. I have no idea how to make them. Maybe something I could learn.
Like you, I've made many bowls and everybody loves them! Some people ask what you use them for and I say, "to put STUFF in" :-) Whatever, they buy them. Think I've probably made around 100 of them since April and have sold all but 3 items. Takes me about 2 hours to wind 100 ft. of rope. About 1 yard of fabric for 100 ft.
Got my beginnings from the "It's a Wrap" book and went on and did my own thing from there. I don't make lids for bowls - I think they're superfluous (sp?) Even made a couple of funky flowers.
