(total time today working on actual bowls - lost track - 3 hours?)
I guess losing track is a good sign. I'm kind of stuck, though - keep looking at the piece different ways, from different angles, to see where two parts go together best. Made improvements in the viewing area (which will be good for future bowls), took photos and looked at them in the computer, looked at different arrangements through a reducing glass - still can't tell.
That reducing glass is a wonderful tool, though. It gives the reverse effect compared with a magnifying glass. You can be quite close to the piece you're making, but looking through the reducing glass gives you a longer range view of it. Often this shocks me into seeing something about a piece I'd overlooked before.
I'm still excited about spring colors. Seems as if trees are leafing out more every five minutes. I took a lot of photos, would like to paint the colors I see as well.
