This signed one of a kind bowl is handmade of Copi (invasive Asian carp) leather, painted in magically irridescent greens, blues, pinks and purples, and accented with hand applied 24 karat gold leaf.
Both carp and dragons are symbols of ancient wisdom and magic. I tried to imagine what it would look like for this fish to be so full of magic that it shines out through its scales. I also made this a literal gold fish. Because in Feng Shui the goldfish is a symbol of wealth, prosperity, and abundance.
I named it “We are Made of Magic” to remind us of the miracle of our existence. And that we all have it in us to do amazing things.
