About this Product
Sometimes there is a little rope left from a project. Trivets are always easy, but I decided it would be fun to see how small of a bowl I could make. This one is 4.5 inches wide by 2 inches deep. Its base is 3 inches. Definitely on the small side, but absolutely useable. Since it is so small, I kept the design simple without a detailed finish. It can hold wrapped candy (yes, small amounts) or keys and coins or even jewelry. Sometimes good things can be found in small packages.
Tower Creations by Madeline
Meet the Maker
I’ve always loved creating, with a philosophy of renew, redo, and repurpose. My work includes scarves with a unique edging technique, fabric baskets, soft fabric pins, and repurposed treasures like wooden spool scissor holders and chipped china jewelry trays.
Driven by both sustainability and imagination, I transform scraps and vintage finds into functional art while also designing new, one-of-a-kind pieces. Each creation is made with care, carrying its own quiet story of transformation.
Inspired by the meaning of my name, Madeline, I see my work as a tower—grounded in strength, elevated by creativity, and open to light. I’m deeply grateful for my supportive husband, our blended family of four children, two daughters-in-law, and three grandchildren—my greatest motivators. And of course, Ollie, our four-legged house boss, who graciously allows us to share her home.
How it’s Made
This bowl is an example of taking the last fabric rope of a project and not wasting it. I believe in using what I have and not wasting, so I challenge myself daily to find ways to repurpose things into something useful. It's part of my being mindful about our carbon footprint and the like. It would have been easier and not taken as long to just make a trivet. I challenged myself to see if I could make a useful bowl and I did.
