I like to mix it up a bit.. so I thought I would try some serious texturing using Powertex

This might get me drummed out of the club..

That is a very nice piece Kevin. Not heard of that stuff before something else for me to look out for as you know I like my decorated pieces

Oh boy! have you given me some ideas. I didn't even know that this Powertex exsisted. I was wondering if the fabric could be turned and sanded when hardened.
I can see some experimentation on the horizon. Lovely piece and well done.

Cheers

Haha, I will go against the grain, I don't really like it lol, guess its not really my thing but then I never was very artistic.

Having said that you have made a superb job of it so I can apriciate the time & skill that has gone in to making it.

Oh yes it’s coming to the club ... I will get banned one day as many just don’t like anything other than pure wood :funny::funny:

Not many bring stuff in do they...

Kevin :banana:
They won’t ban you, I like turning mixed media & they won’t ban me so your safe.
I don’t take a lot of notice of purists, I turn what I like not what they tell me I should like.
As regards taking pieces in, there’s been some harsh criticism of some pieces in the past unfortunately which just puts people off. Some forget they knew bugger all when they first started.
See you Monday mate.
