Materials – Round reed, # 2 and #3, vegetable tanned leather and Siberian iris seed pod.
Techniques – The warp is #3 and the weft is #2. The weft was twined over the warp. The vase was dip dyed in natural indigo to create a gradient of colour. The leather used on the rim was painted with leather dye and sewn to the rim, and the Siberian iris pod was painted with yellow acrylic paint.
