To make a long story as short as I can, a long lost good friend of mine's Mother had recently past away and his sister said she saw a bowl I made with a dragonfly shape in the wood. Both her and her Mom enjoyed looking at dragonflies darting around and she thought it would be a great way of remembering her Mother.
That particular bowl was long gone, but I made her this one. I liked her Mother also. Very nice person. The dragon fly represents her Mother watching over and nurturing the flower which is Lorraine, the daughter. The Mom might be in silhouette, but the colorful wings show her memory is still very much alive. I shipped this to Lorraine yesterday and I sure hope she likes it.
The wood is maple, about 11" diam. and finished with Tung Oil and Beall buffed. The inside is pyrograghy, markers and acrylic paint. All comments welcome, Don L.
