Seven is the number

©2019 Barry Smith - Seven Daily Leaf Words bowls

Over the weekend I completed seven bowls to accompany my seven sets of Daily Leaf Words. The bowls are all quite unique in that I have hammered and stamped different patterns into the silver-plated recycled metal.

The bowls end up being so shiny that they are very hard to photograph; but they don't start out that way.

The bowls have made it into my display cabinet - next step is to get a couple into the online shop.
