    Stained Glass

    Tried an idea from a recent Woodturning with using Jo Sonja colors to create a stained glass look. Combined it with some piercing. Had to add some dragonflies in honor of a recent demo at our club by Binh Pho. Norway Maple around 7" (18 cm) across. Finished with waterborne lacquer.

    Nice work Eric! I really like the combination of elements - the piercing, colors and natural wood!

    Thanks everyone, I've been having fun exploring what can be done with these colors. Like usual, I try to keep lots of wood grain showing to make it clear that it is made from wood.

    Here are some shots of the bottom. The method is to use a black background (black spray paint) then mask that with 1/4" tape to create the effect of the framework between the glass panels. Then brush on Jo Sonja Iridescent Acrylics. These are actually better described as Interference colors, they are almost invisible on a light background, and vivid shimmery colors on a black background. They change color and intensity with viewing angle.

    Very nice Eric - I like the mix of wood and glass. Is the glass curved or is it just an illusion?

    Actually the glass itself is an illusion, the goal was to create the impression of iridescent stained glass panels in a turned bowl via painting technique.
