... my first challenge inspired by...  One Hundred Bowls in One Hundred Days. An ongoing artistic challenge in support of Empty Bowls Houston and the Houston Food Bank. Visit the 100 Bowls website.


 


Ok, so I don't plan on doing 100 bowls in a 100 days, but by the Empty Bowls 2013, I want to have personally formed and finished 100 bowls to donate.  This will be as much a learning experience as it will be a charitable one.
