Some new bowls

I bought these bowls at an antique mall for $4.00 I think ( was a few months ago..lol) I've slowly been working on them. I got all of the little ones done and I'm halfway done with the big one.
Here are 3 of the little ones finished. I did the usual thing...sand, base coat black, paint top coat, sand lightly and then add stain. I wasn't too sure how the white one was going to turn out as this is the first time I used antique white, but after adding the stain I love it, and it is my favorite one. The 4th one I did in mustard, but haven't found a spot for that one yet. I think I am going to do the big one in the antique white also.
