About MeTurned 'spinning top' shape bowls with wide flat everted rims painted with patterned hens' heads, bodies and wings in acrylic paints. The bowls are finished with a wax polish and each contain three small wooden eggs. An allergy to wood dust prompted O'Donnell to work in 'green' wood which he then decorated by carving and staining.
