I was inspired by some pictures I saw on the forum some time back... (David Smith, I think). I had some very bland pieces of alder lying around and wanted to use them up. Below is the result. I obviously need to learn a lot more about paints, colors, and finishes but I think this is something I'll keep playing around with. C&C welcome...

Interesting, I have some small unfinished segmented vases I may do the same with. Thanks for showing your good work.
Very nice, the black & blue is my favorite.
2nd vote for the blue & black piece. What finish did you use on these? Kind of looks like WOP
#2 & #3 are really cool. Thanks for sharing.
Somebody has to say it, I like the first one. :-):)
+1 on the blue and black. Are you working on the lathe or flat like on a turntable?
Beautiful! I especially like the colors and contrast in the last one. The dark nicely frames the natural wood of the bowl and the complimentary color of the two layer blue wash and rays perfectly excite the eye.Quote:

For more inspiration look up spin art https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_art I like the look of the slow spin too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6NjD7aEfao

Thanks for the kind words.... I think I'll keep playing with the idea.
the finish is rattle can spray lacquer.
Im leaving it on the lathe to spin the paint. I made a surround out of a very large and old stainless steel camera film developing bath tub. It's like a huge pot, but thin metal. A cardboard box would work fine but I had one laying around.
Mine too!Quote:
