As you come into your own as an artist, I've decided it becomes harder to let go of certain pieces. This one has fallen into the category of " Will be hard to let go". The bowl was made by Jeff Goodson . Another piece that I knew it was coming home with me. I also saw the cheeky face of this creature hiding in the grain. This maple bowl measures right around 10 1/2 inches in diameter. Everyone meet " Kitsune"

A Kitsune is a magical beast, but behind the magic, they are a fox. An intelligent animal with magical powers that grow with age. They are shape shifters to the human form. They also can grow many tails, up to almost 9 as they grow old and gain wisdom. Most Kitsune, are known to be guardians and always around humans, but a few have been known to be tricksters to people.

This piece is full of magic, from the hand crafted maple bowl to the image. Hoping it will find it's special home to share it's magic with.

How about owning a piece of artwork from the Blue Ridge Mountains here in Virginia? These trinket bowls, are handmade here in the mountains by a local artist and I Woodburn the designs onto each board. These beautiful items are made out of Chestnut, Walnut, Maple, Cherry, and Oak. Each bowl, is unique to its self and a piece of Operative Art! After I am done with wood burning the item, I treat them with mineral oil so they do not crack and all of our wood burned items, come with instructions on how to care for them. Each one I do is different in its own way. I free hand all my work so there will be differences in each piece of art. I do not use a stencil on any of my work. These bowls will dress up any table while entertaining guests.

Wood bowl care:  These bowls are usable art, so please use them. They have been treated with oils so the wood does not split when washed. If you use your bowls and they get dirty, DO NOT!!!! Put in a dish washing machine. This will ruin your item! Hand wash your wood bowls and when done apply a small amount of oil to it. You can use Olive Oil or Mineral oil, which your wood bowl has already been treated with. If the bowl looks dry, just add a little oil to them. Continue the care this way and it will remain beautiful forever.
