Amongst the other demands of life, family, work-work and community-work
Fiona and I have been sneaking in bits and pieces for our art-work: submissions to a couple of artists book exhibitions; applications for me to a couple of 3D sections of art exhibitions; of course checking out the erection of the art-pathway; and setting up the printmakers exhibition. I now feel tired since I wrote that. But over the last couple of days I got a bit of time to complete the trio of raised pod bowls.
The photos below show the bowls after the final lot of annealing and hammering - still with burn marks etc. These bowls are about 50-60 mm in diameter and height.

I am very pleased with the final products - good to go to the National Gallery of Australia's shop.
And as I indicated on Facebook - I was given a two page profile in a new recycling oriented magazine called
Junkies.

And a photo of my anodised aluminium was also used in a centre spread. So that was good. And you are correct if you concluded that I am not featured on the front cover.
