Snail shell yarn bowl


It's always summer when your knitting with this
snail shell/seashell yarn bowl! The shell yarn bowl is thrown
on the wheel from stoneware and then altered with the spiral
shell motif. The large shell on the exterior is echoed by
a tiny replica inside that is cast from a real
shell so the detail is beautiful!
