GRINCHING

I have to admit not ever order, especially small ones are received with the same amount of unbridled enthusiams as are other and these four, well what ended up being really twelve bowls are a perfect example of that. I was recently asked to make a set of four bowls in the snowberry decoration but the twist was they wanted them decorated inside and out where as previously the decoration was confined to the exterior of the smaller using bowls with an all black interior and a few carved bands at the top. As you can imagine that doubles the effort as well as doubling the chances that I will somehow manage to screw up the very wet slip trailed dots but I set about making them and all went well and any apprehension was for naught. In point of fact, I ended up making a dozen in total with the thought process that at the very worst I would end up with two sets of four and a spare or two for our kitchen. As luck would have it, I ended up with three sets of four so despite my intitial Grinching, all is well in Whoville and because sometimes things just go the right way, two of the three sets are now in there new homes cross country.
