This bowl is a replication of a Japanese reed bowl. It was created using the strip method, and painted with acrylics to achieve the rich, reddish color of natural reed that has been stained. I drew lines around the interior and exterior to copy the look of the reeds which are joined together to create an authentic Japanese reed bowl, then finished the piece with a high gloss protective coat.
