Empty Bowls Event 2011

Well, Empty Bowls 2011 finally came (see February 7 post about the event). The soup was good and plenty and I ended up taking home a bowl that looked a bit like a geode. I'm pretty sure most of the pieces I helped with found good homes. I have evidence of a few.

The group project bowl I worked on with the marketing team, in a tulip motif, went at some early event, so I didn't get to see it off. The photo I'm sharing is of it in a case over at the Lux center. They were good enough to showcase some of the bowls before the event in a gallery in an upper room of the building.


Matt painted a lovely bowl that was part cherry blossom part bonsai. A high school exchange student from Mexico ended up with the bowl. Neat thought- having something you made end up in another country. (Carrie Masters took photos of the event- some here are from her. Check out her site! She does more than take photos.)





The February 7 post with a floral bowl was snatched up by a lady who later sent her husband to pay for it. I have photos of those series of events (via Carrie), so I thought it would be funny to share.



By the way, over $8,000 was raised for the BackPack program organized by the Lincoln Food Bank.
