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.

Congratulations Dave! Your work is always very interesting in style and form and I really like the carved feet! The nesting set is also really nice...
 
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.
 
Odie thank you so much for your selection I am honored and thrilled to start 2024 with TOTW. I love your your description Mystique and may use that name depending where this piece goes off to.
Thanks to everyone else as well for your comments and taking the time and interest in my work it is greatly appreciated. cheers
