Metalwork
Mini Bowl I
Mini Bowl I
This miniature version of the “Hammered-Edge Bowl” is great for holding tea lights, collecting spare change, your crystal/rock collection, or even your jewelry.
It is great on its own and can also be paired with one of the other bowls as a pair or trio to create a centerpiece on your dinner table, scattered on your mantle or as an addition to your meditation/prayer altar. The possibilities are endless!
They are made from mild steel that I heated in a propane forge until glowing orange. I then formed the metal into these unique shapes using a combination of hammers, tongs, and swage blocks. After getting the shape just so, I used a wire wheel and grinder to remove all the flakey scale that builds up on the surface through the process. Then finished with a combination of heat and patinas.
