It has been one of those days - people and community came before art - on a number of occasions throughout the day.
I had intended to make 4 sets of Daily Leaf Words - my daily inspirational words sets but with word leaves instead of flat metal. By day's end (note the setting sun in the photo below) I had made the 4 bowls (plus a little aside bowl for a couple of friends); but had not finished the inspirational leaf words.

And a couple reflecting the setting sun. The Daily Leaf Word bowls are about 110mm in diameter.

As it is Friday the day will be celebrated with a glass or two of red.
Busy, busy, I am sure you enjoyed that red.
ReplyDeleteReflections are beautiful, B! Your choice of backgrounds for your photos is inspired.
ReplyDeleteLove the contrast of the sparkling shine on the bowls and the rusted surface they sit on... and sun (?) reflecting.
ReplyDeleteHi P, C and VA - your visit and comments are much appreciated as is you feedback on the bowls. P - well you can say I'm not bored - and yes the red was enjoyed. C - reflective bowls in many ways. I thought the setting sun on wood and the bushes in the backyard was too good to miss. VA - as you say a love combo - slier shine, sunshine and rust shine - way to go. All - go well. B
