Iridescent Vase
This small vase I call iridescent because it shimmers in both blues and greens, depending on how natural light strikes
it. The gourd was colored with cobalt blue ink. The natural configuration of the light spots of the gourd brought
out the lovely greens. The gourd is simple in its design, and the only embellishment is the variety of yarns circling
the opening of the vase. It is simple but also elegant. The vase is approximately 6" in diameter and stands 7"
high. Price: $45
