This is kind of a sad story, but here it goes. While going through chemo I became friends with a woman named Flo. She went through the whole cancer process and unfortunately, it came back and is now terminal. She knows it. The other day at the clinic she came up to me and asked me to make a bowl for her with a big blue butterfly on it for her best friend Kathy. They both LOVE blue butterflies. She said that every time her friend looks at the bowl it will be a signal that she is looking down from heaven and thinking of her.
This is what I came up with and I sure hope they both like it.
It's maple with the butterfly in markers and some texturing. It's 8" dia. and finished with tung oil and Bealle buffed. The bark inclusion was purposely positioned so it looks like a resting place (branch) for the butterfly.
Thanks for looking and all comments welcome, Don L.
