Whether it's accepted is another matter, but I think I've got enough to do a good volume of stuff, so we'll see... On the bowl, nope, I don't mind. I write these things up and post them as a kind of journal, and I love it when somebody comes back and says "Oh, I improved your design by ......." Just let me know how it comes out. One thing I will caution you with on this bowl--if you opt to put the frit balls in as "stamens" in the center your annealing schedule will need to be something like 4x as long--took a lot of experiments before I figured out how long it needed to keep those balls from cracking the base. I think if I were to make this again I'd leave the frit balls out. Thanks for the compliments! Well, believe it or not, I’m starting to put a book proposal together now.

On the bowl, nope, I don’t mind. I write these things up and post them as a kind of journal, and I love it when somebody comes back and says “Oh, I improved your design by …….” Just let me know how it comes out. One thing I will caution you with on this bowl–if you opt to put the frit balls in as “stamens” in the center your annealing schedule will need to be something like 4x as long–took a lot of experiments before I figured out how long it needed to keep those balls from cracking the base. I think if I were to make this again I’d leave the frit balls out.

Thanks for the compliments!

You so generously share, you're a great writer--clear and witty. Now--would you mind if i try to make my own version of this bowl? I have been looking for inspiration for a retirement gift for a friend--whiel I cant imagine my ideas would equate to yours, I'd like to give it a try. When are you going to write a book???

I just went and looked to see if I had that mold. I don't, but there's a BE sale coming up soon... The Lotus Bowl is beautiful and the technique that you describe so wonderfully is very intriguing.
