Medallion bowls

I carved a little stamp to make my own medallions on yet another soup bowl. Seattle Pottery Supply's Shadow Green glaze brings it all together. Iron Red glaze accents the medallions and dripped a little as I had hoped. One of these days I'll make a set of bowls for myself and stop using my ancient set of Corelleware. This reminds me of a reply a carpenter/builder gave me once. After seeing a beautiful example of his work at a friends house, I commented to him, "Your house must look amazing. Where do You live?" He said, "a trailer home in a trailer park." He said that when he got home from work, he did not want to build or fix anything. For now, it's soup bowls for everyone else but me!
