Rescued hollow form

[Dalboy]

After my colouring failure and the colours not being able to be rescued I thought that I would complete the hollow form cut some dimples and stain it black with gold to highlight the dimples.

Here is the failed colour attempt.

Anyway C & C welcome on the hopefully successful rescue

 

[Barry]

Sorry but I like the green finish nicely done on the form and shape and finish,
not to keen on the black and gold

 

[Twister]

I liked the green
maybe you could have tried a few other colours as a rescue?

the black and gold though.....fantastic

Very nice I think..

 

[Doug]

They are both nice Derek though I prefer the green/blue.

As an aside & I'm guessing the first photo shows spirit stain colouring, it makes a hell of a difference if you use orange spirit stain on top of your base colour, it really can lift the piece.

It don't look like the same pot init?
Like em bofe.

Thanks guys just could not live with the first one but will try again on a fresh turning

 

[Terry]

Looks spot on to me Derek !!

 

[Penpal]

After hundreds of Antique Road Show at first the turning reminded me of pottery with a failed glaze on the bottom then a much improved form with heaps going on and a lot off. I only like the 2nd its magic mate.

I think the black and gold looks great Derek but I haven't got a clue how to do it

If you can turn a shape either a bowl or hollow form then you are a good way to being there. The hardest part is taking whatever tool you choose to a perfectly turn piece. This was done with a multi tool and a ball type diamond burr and just keep grinding dimples. The next stage is to stain it whatever colour you choose the last step before applying a finish is to apply gold gilt so it goes into the dimples and rub off the excess. and as said apply a finish with this type of work a spray on finish is best in thin coats

A nice save Derek, both do it for me, you think you are looking at two different vases ..

A good save Derek but I do prefer the blue/Green but think gold rim around the mouth and same at the base would be great.
