~singing bowl resting pillow~

 Bought this beautiful singing bowl

as a birthday present for a good friend of mine.

Have you ever heard a singing bowl?

They can be used for meditation or healing

and they make such a beautiful sound. 

You rub a dowel along the edge of the bowl

and it makes music....a sound that's indescribable. 

Almost hypnotic.

When I was at the store buying it, I noticed they

had them displayed on pillows. I knew right

away this was how I could put my 

personalized touch into this store bought gift.

With a little swatch of velvet fabric and some findings 

in my jewelry making supplies I came up with this:

 I put the jewels in the center to button tuck the pillow

so it would sit level and not roll off. 

 I thought the contrasting color really makes

the color and beauty of the bowl stand out

while it's resting on the pillow.

Here's to a year of peace and beauty Lyns...

a beautiful gift for a beautiful soul and a beautiful friend :)
