    Beautiful bowl and if I'm not mistaken it's smiling in the first photo.

    Beautiful hollow form Mike! Love the form, nice clean curves and you managed to get it a lot thinner than I ever thought of trying! Also like the photography. Nice lighting, crisp focus and natural colors. Once again Mike - very nice work!

    Great HF! (Not to metion the photo!) Those walls are really thin. I'd probably turn that into a shallow bowl If I tried!

    That's lovely, graceful lines, it's even smiling (in the first pic).
