So here is the latest to the biscornu bowl and my June one for the challenge. The design is a pulled thread one that came from a little Cross Stitcher chart book. I altered it slightly and added another section to make it square. It's stitched on evenweave, which I find challenging on its own and in a lovely Maderia thread that Laura sent me.
I'm sorry the photo is so poor, I'm really having problems with my camera. I really do thing it's time to get a new one as every pic is rather blury. The little orange button came from a pair of Lottie's old leggings. I quite like the fact that the button has a little history.
I kept the bottom quite simple as I seem to prefer it like this in my biscornu now. I feel that when I display them it is always the main side up so seems a shame if they are as detailed on the bottom and not seen.
Laura said she'd like to see a pic of all my challenge biscornu together so far so here they are.

Thanks for the photo! The thread looks fab. I love it when buttons have a history too. I agree with you about biscornu bottoms!! I've tended to keep them fairly plain, just stitching something in the corners and personalising. I'll pop over and see your friend's blog...
