The perfect baked potato bowl. :)

I love the very idea of making my own dinnerware. Partly 'cuz I love to eat. Hahaha...

Seriously, to start with a lump of mud and end with a satisfying meal. I'm extremely proud that I can do that. Honestly, anything that ends with a satisfying meal is good in my book. Anyhoo, I had a little Raku clay I needed to use and it worked perfectly. I'm loving the way the brick glaze worked on it. (Incidentally, my idea of a set is the colors. I have no rules about a certain number of a specific kind of plate or bowl. I just make 'em all in the same color scheme and that makes them a set.) I intentionally didn't double dip it because I wanted that very look. I love the perfection of imperfection. To me, it's one of the many bonuses of handmade items.

When I started, I had no idea what I was going to make. It wasn't revealed to me until the finish. Let me tell you, I couldn't have planned this. Both of these bowls filled a need I wasn't even aware that I had. And that, is the perfect baked potato bowl. (Especially if you're having one of those humongous potatoes from Houston's.

MWAH, MWAH, MWAH!!!! *I'm blowing kisses at my bowls...

I Luvs it!!!

Below is a shot of one of my babies in action.

As you can see, I like my potatoes like I like my men. Covered in bacon and butter!! :)

And then there was none... Tout alle!!!
