Thank you DuncanSuperb in every respect - and each picture as I scrolled down the page was a treat. The form is one of my favourites - perfect curve transitions, not a flat spot anywhere. I've never seen that surface treatment before - is it metallic paints applied by stippling? And the final gloss coat really does make it scream "look at me!!!!"
Oh, and a nice demure finial/lid - nothing too fancy that might draw the eye away from the main attraction, but very gentle on the eyes in itself.
If you offer that for sale, I cannot imagine it hanging around long.
Thanks IanTotally agree with Duncan above. Great form and finish.
It takes guts to gloss lacquer over that flaked finish as any flat or imperfection will scream at you.
Got to ask what sort of wall thickness did you go for? Also any special hollowing tools used ?
Hi Andy - thanks for this information. A quick check shows it comes in 2 forms - bottle or tube. I'm guessing the tube would be much thicker if you have to squeeze it out rather than pour. Have you tried both - and if so, do you have a preference?The paint used were Jo Sonja iridescent paints
