Beyond a dog bowl
I really had imagination failure about those dog bowls, didn’t I ? (see previous post) A few failed experiments with fruit placement, and I just gave right up. But the dog bowls seemed to get my readers’ imaginations racing, evidenced by the wild DIY ideas in my comments section!
Now, realistically, I’m not going to get particularly craftypants with my dog bowls anytime soon, so probably won’t be showing off my inspired solutions here. But your ideas were so inventive and fun, I thought something had to happen with them, and so, I present:
Jesse‘s suggestion of using the biggest bowl for floating my ceramics transfers is, I’m afraid, the most inspired I’m able to get right now. But what a brilliant transfer floater bowl it makes. Thanks, Jesse! If you’d like a bowl for your transfers, I’ve got lots! Otherwise, I might take you up on your other suggestion and donate the extra dog bowls to my toddler neices, nephews and godkids 🙂

I love all the illustrations and see a children’s book in there somewhere. My favorite use of the bowls is the pendant lamps….utterly charming and perfect for that modern flat or mid-century home.
