Mandala bottom bowl

Mandala bottom bowl

New design I’m working on for the inside of some bowls.
Hi Todd.
Any comments on how you are doing this? It looks very neat!
Thanks.

Hi I just started making these and my process is still changing but this is what I did on my last ones.

1) Cut mandala with laser.
2) Fill mandala with color epoxy.
3) Turn a bowl with a bottom that fits your mandala or cut a mandala that fits your bowl bottom.
4) I hot glue mandala into bottom of bowl.
5) I pour clear epoxy over mandalas after it’s in the bowl for a nice glossy finish.
6) Finish the bowl like normal.
