Item 31: A ceramic bowl

This is a bowl I made at one of those paint your own ceramic places.  A group of ladies and I from my old work went together one night quite a few years ago.  We had a pizza party and each worked on a ceramic project.

Disclaimer:  I am not an artist.  I can't draw a stick figure and am not good with paints.  I 'see' things in my mind but they don't usually translate into reality.

I like the inside of this bowl.  I like the color blue and I like the starfish.  I like the bubbles the fish is blowing on the outside of the bowl.  These bubbles were accomplished using special paint they had.  The special properties in the paint are activated when in the kiln and create this texture.  That's pretty cool.   I picked the colors, the fish, the starfish, the bubble paint for the 3D effect. I like all of that but I don't like the piece as a whole.  It's because I'm very hard on myself and want things to turn out as I 'see' them not as my (lack of) artistic talent allows.

The ceramic project/pizza party took place at least six years ago.  I have never used this bowl.  I've never been able to think of a use for it.  Maybe someone else has an idea.
