Here are photos of my bowl so far.

It's based on the menu for Zombie Village in Oakland.

Recently, I was leafing through Sven's Book of Tiki and was once again captivated by the image. I was looking at the fire pit in the center of the illustration and the thought occurred to me that it would make a great fire chamber... in a bowl!!!

I was working out the logistics of translating the scene on the menu to a three dimensional, functional piece and I realized the genie in the background would have to be scaled down considerably to make the whole thing viable. I didn't want him to be diminished in size and uniqueness, so I had the crazy idea to make the genie a separate mug that rests in a holder on the back of the bowl. How nutty is that?

Sculpting is complete, cracks have been repaired, and now on to underglazing!
