Building the Sink
so what i did, is :
1- starting by using a white spray paint on the bowl, so i got a nice bagground, then i cut the patterns in printed on the vinyl and stuck then on the bowl.
2- i used a dril to cut a hole in the buttom of the bowl, and installed the outlet for the sink.
3- i mixed the resin and i coted the bowl with it ( 2 mm thikness or so ), the sink was then ready

Building the Sink - 2
i removed the old sink, and build a rounded frame for my bowl, and installed it on the old rectangular hole for the old sink. and fixed the wooden panel with some screws to the kitchen board
The Wall and Kitchen Board
printed my patterns on the vinyl and decorated the wall and the kitchen board.
the last step was to coat the board with resin to i can protect my patterns from water splashes .. et voila. it came to life :)
