END OF DAY IV

When I am working in groups or series though it is the most expeditious way to process pieces there can come a time when you just have had enough. In the case of this impromptu design, I had been carving my "grasses" pattern close to three dozen pieces in three sizes from large to small and this particular piece was the very last pot to deal with at the end of the day. I realized while listening to an 80s mix-tape that I just needed to be done and couldn't make myself carve one more grasses bowl so I called and audible and improvised this not very large piece with what could be seen as a variation of the theme in a compact and more detailed version. Without the larger pattern I repeated the idea around the bowl in two seperate rings divided by a simple hatched carved band to fill the space. In reality it worked a bit better than some improvised ideas I have had, think the stack of misfit bowls in the corner of the back room (now waiting on the next Empty Bowl event) and this may even make its way into being repeated at some point depending on just how feed up I am with some other design I have carved one too many times. Who knows and we'll see but it does look good with some chocolate truffles in it.
