Cherry Blossoms in April


This is what I called the Sakura bowl- in Japan in April the cherry blossoms are in full bloom.  They are so beautiful that everyone is in complete awe when they are viewed.  Camera buffs snap the blossoms wildly and it is one of the most beautiful sights to see.   When I came back from Japan I wanted to capture the sight of the cherry blossoms in full bloom.  I took antique Japanese kimono fabric and coupled with pure silk I fashioned this sculptural bowl.  I then embellished the bowl with beautiful corded threads which hang down from the main focus.  These bowls pick up the light when in the sunny windows of my home.
