My bowl. Its hard to know when its almost finished.
Im basing it on an ancient roman bowl similar to this one... (image via google images... thanks!)
I saw one years ao in a museum and the slight asymmetry of it has had me fascinated ever since.
But its not an easy shape to, well not reproduce but take after, in papier mache. For instance the wide brim is easily doable but I didnt like it aesthetically so went for more of a suggestion than the whole.
The look. I wanted it to look like papier mache but also ceramic. I think though that I am going to take a different approach. Using the slightly off-centre design Im going to go with a contemporary finish.
Its almost in the end stages now, its been a real labour of love, when its had the final decoration I'll post it here.....
