Blooper reel: ruffled edge bowl


This bowl was a failed shallow cylinder that got too thin and wide in the walls. Instead of scrapping it, I decided to use it for some weirdness practice. It was hard to trim and sand since it does not have a symmetrical profile for turning. I had to hand sand the delicate ruffling edges and belive me, when I had finished, this failed pot looked awesome. Then I put orange and black strokes on it and I just don't like the combo. I love the shape but unlike most of my pieces, this one looks better full. :)
