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.

Images of the individual bowls follow including The Journey, Tree of Life and The Sun.

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