I first saw Kay Khan’s work about a year ago. I can’t remember what led me to it, but I was enamored with the shapes and fascinated with the fact that she used fabric to create three dimensional objects. Vessels and bowls seem very feminine to me.
You can see more of Kay Khan’s work at the following URLs:

I have been thinking of fabric bowls lately, but also of vases and other types of vessels. Recently I was informed that the Marin Needle Arts Guild will be having a Craft Fair in the autumn to raise money for the guild (they will not be hosting a show this year and need to raise money to keep their programs going. You can find out more by contacting them directly at the URL above). Perhaps making a fabric bowl or vessel would be a good donation? We’ll see how the time until autumn shakes out.
In the meantime, I am admiring and being inspired by Ms. Khan’s work.
Have you ever read Everyday Sacred?

Dang, the URL didn’t work. Well, it’s called Everyday Sacred by Sue Bender
Do you mean: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0062512900/sr=8-1/qid=1145913863/ref=pd_bbs_1/103-8855042-7907860?%5Fencoding=UTF8 ?
I haven’t read this book, but have listened to a ‘To the Best of Our Knowledge’ segment called Amazing Grace. In it, one of the interviewees talks about being grateful for everything, like cough drop wrappers, etc. It sounds goofy, but it makes sense when you listen to it. You can buy the segment from Audible.com and listen to it on your computer.
I guess I should have said that I haven’t read it. I’ll put it on the list.
