There’s often little difference between a shallow bowl and a plate so I often treated them similarly while decorating them.

As with wall plates, I drilled holes in the foot rings on the back of shallow bowls, through which I inserted modified paperclips to serve as hangers.

Most of the bowls pictured here, as well as many of the wall plates in the next segment, were featured in Bowled Over, a 2001 exhibition of bowls and plates at The Croft Gallery in Calgary.
