Bark Bowl
- 17 September 2014
- and more
Pour some clear drying wood glue into a bowl.
Thin the glue with warm water
Pour the bark chips into the glue mixture to soak
Stir the bark into the glue
Cover a round bowl with cling wrap
Place the bark onto the shape
Slowly build up the bowl shape by adding the sticky bark chips one by one
Keep adding the bark pieces like you would build up a puzzle. Fitting the shapes but staying true to the form
Once the entire bowl is covered in bark, set it aside to dry completely. Add more bark, once it is dried to fill in any gaps
Glue in twigs and place the flowers in test tubes and arrange in the bark bowl
