Panning for Montana gold, with Betsy, the mule!
My choice for TOTW....the first of this new year, is Dave Roberts' "Morphed and Nested" entry
into the AAW member's gallery. This nested set of bowls has been on my mind since he
first posted it. No question that it has a mystique to it that is a draw on one's aesthetic senses.

These are beautiful and fascinating! I have no idea how you made these, but I am sure they required SIGNIFICANT skill and a bold sense of beauty!

Love the uncontrolled movement and wrinkled texture on these bowls. Great job on this set, Dave ... good choice, Odie.
