This is a Black Potato Art bowl given to my daughter, Tammy, from her sister, Tina, as a Christmas gift!
I had never heard of this Art.
( and, indeed, just recently became familiar with black potatoes)

(back to the bowl)
This was the most unusual art object I had seen in awhile.... or maybe ever! The color is much more intense than the pictures show. It's a deep purplish-blue. It appears to be very fragile and will only be used to 'look at!'
Here is my daughter, Tammy, showing off her unique gift from her sister!
I tried to find info on this but was not successful.
:(
Does anyone have any info on this art form to share?

UPDATE on the bowl:
Talked to my daughter after posting the above and she gave me this website that was in the package with her bowl!

Also a FB friend found the very same Website and put it on FB! :)
This is fascinating art to see and read about!

ReplyDeleteHow interesting. I guess we never get too old to learn new things. Your Tammy is so pretty, Junie. :)
ReplyDeleteHi June, I think the potato bowl is very interesting, I had never seen anything like it, you never know what you might find if you only get out and look, which i don't very often.lol Carrie
ReplyDeleteWell look at that, I'd never heard of this kind of art either! The bowl is gorgeous, though, so unusual. See, one can learn something new every day:-) xoxo
