Tulip Bowl

I started painting this unusual shaped bowl a few years ago and it didn't appeal to me at all.
It actually went into the rubbish tin the other day and as it sat on top of the rubbish I suddenly had an inspiration of what I could do to finish it.

 So I hauled it out of the rubbish tin and took it back to my studio.    The copper looked much nicer with a coat of mother of pearl, and the inside of the bowl looked nicer with another coat of paint on the tulips and a penned border on part of the inside of the bowl.    I added some gold work . . . . and now I love it!  And hope someone else does too, and want to provide a home for it!!
