Last month I threw ten of these really great bowls with wide bellies and narrow feet. It’s kind of fussy throwing this kind of shape in porcelain because the pot will flop if the clay isn’t just the right consistency or you aren’t totally “on” with your throwing. It took me a while to come up with the right design for them. I did one cartoon on a few of them about food allergies or something… it was ambitious and weird, but not quite right for the shape. This failure will show up in a few days in the bargain basement section of my online store. A few weeks ago, I received a special order for Ariel at Sticks. She had me make an “Our Lady of Guadalupe” bowl and the imagery lent itself to this new design. I like the way the artwork really fits the shape of the pot. And it’s the companion piece to the “Jesus is coming and he’s bringing the bean dip” bowl!
