Tasy!! Your bowl is so pretty!!

Hazie

Madhabitz- Your bowl is great, I adore your use of colors...I am assuming those are your plates. I can't wait for the gallery (when you get time!)

Tasy- That sunflower is gorgeous, I just love it you did yourself proud. I love the difference between the inside and the outside. Unique!!

I can see all the thought taken in these bowls, I can't wait to see the rest!!!!

Lovely sunflower!

Blue was big in this exchange.

Oh yeah..Mad I ment to say I thought the heart shape was cool as well as the colors of your plates and the design..forgot to put that in there!!!!

Tasy gets a tasy blue bowl >divine intervention or what!!!
And it's a heart!!! WOW!!! Awesomejob MH!!!
Jennie: Styling bowl ya scored!!! Zowie!!!

Definitely a TASY blue, and the TASY nipping - her signature. Lovely, just simply lovely.

Don't know where I left off commenting!! Great bowls everyone!!

When you guys were saying that your bowls were taking a long time - or you were having trouble - I thought "What the heck - it's JUST a bowl ! " Now I See why ....Geeze the thought & workmanship that went into these bowls are unbelievable ! Awesome job everyone !

Mad, I love the shape and your colors! VIBRANT!

Tasymo, what can be said? You amaze me! wow intense! just amazing!

I can't say anymore than what has been said ...all of them are so pretty I would love any one of them.I can tell everyone spent a lot of time and thought in these...and yes the edges of bowls are really hard,I thought i had mine figured out and had to go back and add another row between rows to keep grout from looking so thick.......mine is supposed to be delivered tomorrow ..I'm still praying all in one piece.Again i would have loved any of yours...good job!!!!!Annie

Well, blue may be the color of the swap, but I received a dop dead gorgeous PURPLE bowl om Haziemoon!!! TRied to show it, bu I will also desribe it to make up or my *&^*&^ camera. The First shot is oF it on the runner we have on the coffee Table, it's permanent home. You can see how the colors are PERFECT...how'd ya do that, Hazie??

Here's a close up of the interior To show the puRple glass that I am in love with, esp the iRRidesCenT (no, iT's noT my Typing - keyboard will now only consistently Type Caps on some leTTeRs!). She puT a mini Clear glass halF marbles on the inside and outside so the light shows ThRu.

Finally took iT ouTdooRs to get a decenT(?) shot oF The proile!

I LOVE IT!!! Thank you, Haziemoon!!

Wow, Wow, wow!!! Georgeous purple bowl!!! Awesome job, Hazie! Lucky, lucky Curbdiver!!

I'm so glad you like it curb!
I was worried about the purple! I love purple, but not
many people do.

That Van gough glass is really hard to take pics of.
Here's one I took before I sent it...it took 10 shots to
get a couple where you could see the glass color.

Hazie

THat is Hazy's style - to make awesome stuff ! I just LOVE that ! ( Makes me wish I had participated !) How are your fingers Hazie ? Did you grind them off ? LOL Your bowl is beautiful ~~

Did you paint the rim and the foot?

Quite a lovely piece.

I'm so glad I participated in this swap!

Hazie that is purple-licious???????????don't know how to spell that but I mean it is delicious.Got it????Annie

Lawdy, I forgot whose I commented on. I am SO ENVIOUS of all these bowls! LADIES, you have outdone yourselves on this challenge. I would be DELIGHTED to have any of them! Hazie: I am SO taken with your purple (I LOVE PURPLE) bowl. Now I think I need one for myself!

Great bowl Hazie, just beautiful!!

Maria

HAZIEMOON! OH MY GAWD!!! that bowl is amazing! OMG! I'm stunned!!! ugh!!! belongs in a gallery. WOW! Curb, you lucky duck!

Hazie- I cannot believe how beautiful your bowl is...it is SEVERELY awesome..the grout color is just amazing!! Van gogh glass is always so great!!! You as usual outdid yourself.

Did you guys see the edges of that bowl??!! It turned out perfect...

Can't wait to see all the other bowls....wonder when mine will get here...I am soo impatient..I will have to take my camera to work for the next two weeks so I can post it when I get it and not wait till I get home in the evening!!!

AWESOME!!!AWESOME!!!!!

That is so PURP-TACULAR!!!! Ooh La La!!! Purp-pendous!

AWESOME, hazy! What a fabulous color and the Van Gough glass adds so much to it. And your edges are so neat, they blend in yet add to the overall look so well.

Oh man, I can't believe that the bowl arrived on Saturday! After seeing the picture of Tasy's amazing bowl, I now don't feel so bad about foisting off a REALLY BLUE bowl on her. Believe it or not, I really did put a lot of thought and effort into this little thing, but looking at all of the others, I can see I have a long long way to go and tons more to learn.

Hazie/Chickee, nope, not my painted plates. Until I have everything worked out on that paint, I just wouldn't feel comfy.

Ms. Wench, I colored the grout with acrylic paint.

Slowme, no mirrors. Just one blue/gold plate with a few yellow plate tiles thrown into the mix.

Thanks everyone!

Tasy, again, your bowl is amazing. Your eye for design and your skills are something I can only aspire to.

Hazie, your bowl is amazing, too! Wow, everything is so precise!

Oh man, I wish I had more time to oogle all of the pictures.

Nancy

all the bowls are totally amazing!! i love them all...barb

Thanks so much for all the compliments girls.....
You are all so great.

Toomuch.....My fingers were about ground to a pure pulp!

Wench...I added paint to my grout, and then painted the grout to get a brighter color. I used weldbond in the paint
make the grout a little stronger on the edge and foot of the bowl.

Can't wait till the other bowls get posted!! too fun!

Hazie

HAZIEMOON! OMG!!! that bowl is amazing and it belongs in a gallery! I LOVE PURPLE!

I've been out of town a few days and am just catching up on all of the bowls.
WOW! What an art gallery! These are beautiful!
Pat, I love your sunshine! I was born and raised in Florida and always love to see suns in art.
Nancy, the heart bowl is beautiful! I love blue!!!
Taysmo, the sunflower is just a favorite of mine! Again, yellow like the sunshine is always a favorite. Love the bowl!
And, Hazie, that purple is just AWESOME! Beautiful elegant art!
I'm not omitting Chickee, I commented on her's early on - I do love those flowers.
Everyone's bowl is thoughtful work of art! What a gallery of joy!

I got my bowl today...I got my bowl today!!! My bowl is from..NICETHYME!!! safe and sound!!!!!

I cannot begin to even thank you for this stupendous bowl, I opened it and gave out a joyous exclaimation...frog...she did a frog!! It goes so well with my oar. Please tell me that those beads where on a string when you put it on the edge!!
As all your work, it is just beautiful. The details are perfect. Hopefully I have captured the true essence of the bowl with the pictures my hubby so graciously took...

Nice included a wonderful note explaining that she used a piece of beach glass (from seaglassic?? Used to be desiderata..aka Becky!!!) on the bottom of the bowl with her (Nice's ) name tag (very great idea Nice) that she had gotten from the frypan exchange. She also included a sample of her favorite glass that she (Nice again) used on by bowl and that maybe in the future I could use it on something else.. I love the sample and I love the bowl!!!

Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!

Chickee, I'm so glad it got there in one piece! I had to laugh when I got your name in the exchange because you had just said in the Oar thread that you loved frogs - I emailed Curb and told her about my bowl! LOL and yes I strung the seedbeads on wire first, I'm crazy but not THAT crazy!

Annie, that is fabulous! Your frog looks great! as does the tesserae and messages! too cute! was it a candy dish? no wonder it was so heavy. beautiful job!
