Deco-Tea
« on: October 29, 2014, 01:30:50 PM »
Here is my latest Teapot, a collaboration with Louis Vadeboncoeur. We are very proud to say that it will be displayed by Riley Galleries in the up and coming SOFA event.
This is a first for me working on a teapot other than with Cynthia and needless to say l am very happy with the way it turned out. In Louis words  " In terms of process it's a bit lengthy as there are multiple coats of airbrushed black acrylic paint, of different intensity (value) and at least three very thin coats of lacquer between each layer of paint. All in all there are over 30 coats of lacquer. The lines are drawn with a pen containing india ink."

Mike this is very nice indeed, I like it a lot. I am trying to remember the name of an artist who work this piece reminds me of.I think it is the odd patch of red that does it. getting it in the right place would be the difference between getting it right or not. Very clean and crisp. Well done.Gorgeous.

Could it be Mondrian....he's best known for his box-shaped designs?

It's a beautiful piece and I absolutely love it. Sheer class!

I have learnt the first rule of woodturning.
The internal diameter should never exceed the external width.
Nor the internal depth, the external height.
Does that make me an expert now ?

I'd be proud to own such a teapot like this as a ceramic, but as wood it is a stunning piece of work and subsequent artwork. You both must be very proud of the final piece.

I'd like to add that the very small areas of (is it) orange bring whole the thing to life but in a very discrete way.

Mike, between yourselves http://collectorsofwoodart.org/artist/portfolio/110 your talents have produced the most exquisite piece, unmistakable as a Teapot .. then in the States more liken to a coffee pot.

Well done.  David

  Must say l have never heard of Mondrian, but after looking at his work it is a little similar.

   Thanks everybody for their kind words, Michael.
