Table jewellery

I'm tremendously excited by this roundel that we did this week (I make the original bowl and assist and direct in the hotshop) because I am at last getting the effect I want - abstract watercolour effect; large, but quite jewel-like. This is the most successful of my 'ghost bowl' series so far. The picture doesn't really do justice to its size and translucency. The second one (below) is pretty nice too, but more experimental. We did a roll-up with some of my pâte de verre colour samples. One got caught at the rim, which gives me an idea for doing a lip-wrap on the next one.
