It’s going to be a week of bowls and other beauties from here in Virginia. These free form black and whites are from New Hampshire’s Ann Dillon.

I was entranced by how they sparkled under the lights and then realized that the twinkles don’t translate very well in photos. You’ll have to imagine the silvery magic that Ann created by using glitter clay in her canes.

The bowls are swap items and there are many to choose from. This is day one of the conference so there’s no telling what else may emerge.
