This is a project still in progress. It is my pono bowl. What’s a pono bowl? Whatever you want it to be. Its a bowl where you put you treasures or sacred stuff or whatever stuff you want to put in it, you can even leave it empty. Its your bowl. I suppose you could put smelly dried up stuff if you wanted to. Whats that called, potpurri? You know what I mean. LOL
Anyway most of it is done. Although it could use more sanding, I’m done with the sanding. You gotta be in a sanding mood and I think I did a lot yesterday. This is what it looked like before I started cleaning the inside, scraping out all da opala anden it needed to be sanded.
This is after I did da burning of the main design. Still got work to do on it but its maybe 80% done. Something like that. I want to add a couple of honus. If I’m in the mood I’ll sand some more inside. If not then pau. Currently, I have some herbs in the bowl. It’ll make’um smell good hah? There’s some sweetgrass, rosemary and cedar.
I haven’t thought of what to put in it yet. I need a kuahu/altah/alter yea? *L* My rosary that I rarely use but I still spew out those Our Fathers and Hail Marys with out beads. What do I have thats a “treasure?”
A work in progress….
I really enjoyed making this. My art is a bit off but its called using stencils. Cause free hand wise it woulda been stick figures. This was my first experience using a burning pen or burning wood. I also burned myself, da stem, but its called learning.
Now I need to dedicate time to finish this bowl. Its da kine stuff, if/when you start you know like stop. Gotta finish what you started and not be interrupted by this that or the other. I must make one for each kid. I can hear them now, “Mom & her projects.” They say “oh another Designbydakine!” LOL
I should do an Etsy.com store huh? That would be cool I think. What would I call it? How about: PONO4U! That looks like a vanity license plate. LOL
