Yesterday and today I have been working on a number of bowls and sets of words including a request for a set of words in Italian.

ReplyDeletei love the Italian words .. never thought of that and when i saw what you did ... WOW!!
love your shiny silver bowls esp the spiral one ... B you're an inspiration!!
What a lovely way to begin a day. Beautiful and inspiring work, as always.
ReplyDeleteI need not one more "addiction", but I'm afraid these bowls with words are becoming my next!
ReplyDeleteLovely work Barry. The beaten pattern in the bowls looks great.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful gift. No wonder they are popular. I imagine the feel of the words in one's hand must be very soothing.
ReplyDeleteI love the bowls and words.. what a lovely idea.. and your words about meeting each day and living each day with such hope.. wonderful.
ReplyDeleteL, AA, SZQ, JM R & D - thanks for you comments - I love that something so simple does appeal - maybe a sign that we all just need tiny reminders to slow down and be mindful. L - the spiral is a powerful symbol - is it spiraling inwards or outwards? AA - a bit of good energy can't go astray at the beginning of the the day that is for sure. SZQ - but it would be a good addition??? JM - the hammer marks are both a lovely texture and a reminder of the handmade nature of the bowl. R- the words do feel goo in the hand and the metal warms to the body temperature quickly - so they almost become one with you. D - as I indicated to AA hope and positivity are good launchpads for the day. I find if I don't try to start with a possible focus the day takes over. Go well. B
ReplyDeleteBarry, the bowls and words are just beautiful. My friends who have received them as gifts love them of course. The little leaves, now polished, are quite magical. I'm presently having a frantic search for one of my leaf earrings which seems to have escaped. Sigh... However, my leaf cascade is hanging in my bedroom and makes me happy each time I see it. Thank you for so much inspiration Barry.
ReplyDeletethat's a good question B! is it spiraling inwards or outwards. well ... generally spirals always go inwards for me. erm ... is there a meaning to that?
