^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Is it possible you are thinking of Kay Sekimachi, who was married to Bob
Stocksdale? I saw a bowl that she made out of the paper-like layers from a
wasp's nest. She carefully peeled the layers off, one at a time, and formed
them into a bowl which was made in a form to match a wooden bowl her husband
had turned. The two vessels sat side-by-side on a shelf in their
gallery/studio/living room.
