P's And Q's

When I was explaining to D about putting together "trade" items for ArtFest, he said, "why don't you give everyone a wooden bowl from the thriftstore, every attendant would get one". Ha Ha.

I was on a bowl-buying kick when they were cheaper. I noticed the thriftstores wooden bowl prices have gone up. So I am doing a "bowl" series. Bowling for Dollars. Rose Bowl. Dust Bowl. Rice Bowl. Sugar Bowl. Bowling Green. D will love it (but not completely get it) when he sees them all finished in the collection. BUT the last few days I am trying to get inspired for ArtFest AND finish up some projects that have been collecting dust (some for years). As is the case of the P's and Q's that I love but not exactly sure why I did it. It started with one of those funky, odd-shaped, wooden bowls. I painted the little balls, drilled small holes in them, glued a toothpick in, drilled a hole in the bowl to secure those peas and Q's. It was fun and my friend Ruth fell in love with it, so I guess it is headed for Texas.
