Golden Bowls Using the starting point of one of the Archimedean solids these forms are stretched and extended using polygons with the same sized edges, but losing the restriction that there are the same type at each of the vertices. It allows for playing with the shape and form as the stretch outwards from their starting point. The shape of the bowls is formed from shapes cut from reused packaging card. These are glued together and then layers of torn redundant office paper cover the shape using PVA glue. The bowl exterior has only two layers to allow for greater definition of the form and inside three more layers are laid over the first. The edges are kept sharp by using the edges of the paper and highlighted using acrylic paint. The bowls are finished with layers of lemon shellac varnish. It is this that gives the deep golden colour and crisp, high gloss shine.
