Much of Oriental Art is about balance. Fred has chosen the
symbols for Thankfulness and Gratitude along with the circle to
represent this balance. In Fred's words, "A simple gesture
of recognition, that often goes unnoticed, liberates and opens
the conscious to receptivity. It allows the circle to complete
its course and begin again." This bowl has a totally different
construction as you can see. It is quite easy to put together
and you get full instructions complete with pictures. This unique
bowl opens up a lot of possibilities for types of bowls. There
are also many possible uses for the designs in this bowl. The
circular designs would make great appliqués for a jacket
or bag. Or several could be stitched and then tacked together
to make a mat or table runner. The plain circles can be used to
add other designs for a one of a kind doily. The top bowl in the
photos is the medium size and the green and gold is the small
size bowl done with gold metallic thread. Different colors can
totally change the look of these bowls and doilies, as you can
see from the samples shown with the designs.
