colour me a rainbow

After the treasure container (of Debbie Lyddon's workshop)

for my little ladybug was finished,

I had another idea :

when you love rainbows why not paint bits of fabric

to make vessels

and make a rainbow of vessels !

Sketching and thinking came first

and then the rainbow on the "washing line"

Making the vessels and making the peepholes

 Hmmm ... stitching can be a dangerous business !

The stack is done except the top edge ...

I didn't have a fixed idea of how to keep the vessels together

but I incorporated a tiny wire loop

while stitching the top edge

and on the bottom (shallow) one I made two loops.

There was this tiny glass bird

that I bought about two years ago from a fellow artist

on an art market

that I thought of as the next "treasure to hide"

But I didn't want to put this bird

in the cage of the top vessel :

no place for a bird !

But ... what is at the end of the rainbow ???

Of course GOLD !

The rainbow of vessels spread out on the floor

(only some sequins and seed beads ...)
