Round Flower Bowl of Handmade Paper

Description

Using paper that I have made, I hand-cut two separate flower shapes. Then, using the same batch of paper pulp, I made a bowl using a round form. After all components have dried, they are 'painted' with a sealant to form a water-resistant hard coat on all surfaces. With a complimentary light blue brad, the pretty pink flowers are attached to the 'bowl' resulting in a perfectly imperfect container for your little bits of whatnot.
It IS made of paper, so it's not as sturdy as say a ceramic bowl, but it is treated with several coats of hard coat and able to hold change, paper clips, markers, or other such desk necessities.

Approximate measurements:
3.5'' across
2'' deep
flower= approx. 2.75-3''across

This is really a pretty piece of functional art!
It is only water-RESISTANT, so you may wipe it clean with a damp cloth but do not submerge in water or use any chemicals to clean.

All bowls are tucked into a plain kraft box with some tissue, before being packaged to ship.
