This piece is definitely inspired by the natural world.The original form was inspired by the endangered rain forests of Brazil, and using recycled materials for this piece seemed particularly appropriate. I love that I can recycle glass from old bottles and jars to make a beautiful effect.

Full description
I call this bowl my rain forest leaf bowl, because the glaze inside it reminds me of warm summer rain making pools in bowl shaped leaves, and of hot days swimming in tropical lakes during the time I spent in Brazil.
This bowl was glazed with my own special combination of ingredients, including some recycled glass from empty bottles and jars that blended with the glaze to give a stunning crystalline watery effect. The glass forms a perfectly smooth surface to the bottom of the bowl, but beneath the surface it cracks and fragments. These cracks catch the light and sparkle like jewels.
It would make the perfect holder for a candle, it's great as a soap dish, or you could use it to keep rings and jewelry safe. I keep mine on my bathroom windowsill so that the crackles under the surface catch the sunlight and glisten.
It's delicate shape was given strength by my use of very strong, textured, creamy white clay, which I fired to stoneware temperature. I didn't glaze the outside, and added a little subtle fabric texture because I wanted the natural beauty of the clay to shine through and create contrast.
This piece measures approx 6 x 5 x (height)1 inches
(15 x 13 x 2.5cm)
Please note, it is not intended for food or dishwasher use.
I made a couple of these, and each is slightly different; yours may vary very slightly from the one pictured, but it will be very similar and equally pretty, I promise!
