Willow the Spider Serving Bowl with Spoon

The assignment was:  ‘vessel with lid and legs.’  ‘Willow the Spider serving bowl with spoon’ is what my mind conjured.

Although Willow was my first experience with the hammered sheet metal approach, although her lid is a bit askew, and although she might get a bit unbalanced when life throws too much her way, I’m happy to report that Willow has been adopted and is living contentedly with an Austin couple who understands and appreciates her just the way she is.

In her free time, Willow enjoys playing with her tongue -- which she sometimes extends in a playful snake-like maneuver, while at other times she simply relishes just letting it slightly fold over her lower lip.  

I still have visitation rights and am sent pictures of festive occasions in Willow’s life, such as when she gets dressed up in her Christmas candle or puts on her spring time ensemble.
