No Sanding
« on: February 07, 2016, 10:15:26 PM »
Well one of those days went through the side of a hollow form so rather than burn it I had a play with some shavings and metal effect gold paints

C & C's welcome

Come on guys, this is what happens when people experiment, and without experiment there would be no progress. I have to admit that I actually agree with George, it does look like it's been rolled in something unsavoury and then covered in gold. Not for me, I am afraid.

However, I do applaud Ed's unfailing spirit to go where no turner has gone before.

Fear not, Fuzzy....Ed knows us well enough not to take offence at a bit of gentle leg pulling. Nobody could ever rightly accuse either George or myself of not being in favour of a bit of experimentation.

   Stick on few Limpets and call it Rock Pool by the Sea and it will sell for a fortune.

Ed I applaud you experimentation and I think the reason it does not look as good as you would like it look is because you used the wrong colour gold, a brighter gold would make it more appealing.

This needs a 'Like' but we don't have the button.

But seriously, yes it's an experiment, I have seen something like it before but not painted afterwards. As I've said before, don't stop there, see where it takes you.

don't worry all I'm to thick skinned to take offense, I like the rock pool idea.

Playing around can lead to all sorts of things do you remember this
