I have been using Saran wrap rolled into a cylinder (snipped pthe end and fray the cut off end) to stamp flower patterns on bowls. I used to paint the surface flat black to enhance the dichromic reflection, but the wood would not show through. On this bowl's rim I used the same Saran Wrap technique to twist the black India Ink onto the surface of the rim. The various colors of Pearl Ex were then twisted on the dried ink. Depending on the view point the surface may have black showing or a variety of colors. On the bottom are some larger black twists. I added more black by using an adjustable sprayer to apply a speckle finish on the surface. Reds, blues, greens and white Pearl colors were then twisted onto the surface. The surface may reflect black, colors or even subtle views of the dyed box elder.
