This was a piece I turned as a final project for my design class. Our project outline was merely that we create something that was a "creative color wheel" in that it must use all twelve colors of the color wheel. Well naturally, I had to turn and dye something! This is the first emotional painting I have done on my work using my signature dyeing process. This is one of the two pieces I took to show John Beaver at the Symposium, it is only right I show this to the creekers too!
This is a small Maple burl form with African Blackwood collar, 4.25" high, 3.5" in diameter. Finish is GENERAL'S WOODTURNERS FINISH! Transtint dye colors used: Bright Red, Blue, and Lemon Yellow.
I ain't perfect (Hey I was rusty! too busy building a shop around a lathe ) but I LOVE IT! (This is also the first piece photographed in my dedicated studio, I'm going to be trying some diffurnt things this is the first of those) Comment's and Critiques welcomed and appreciated as always... Bring it on!
