I've been cutting a lot of open bowls lately just to have some pieces to play with. Each additional material or technique seems to add exponential possibilities. I'm definitely straying from the adage that less is more.
The first two bowls have Jo Sonja iridescent acrylic applied over a darker undercoat. I've brushed the thinned acrylic at slow and high revs and finished with a few coats of lacquer. It will take a lot of play and experimenting to find a technique that is really pleasing.
The third bowl is cross grain sycamore bowl died with spirit stain and textured with a Crown tool with a gold gilding cream rub and finished with Chestnut wax.
I think that the direction I'm taking is a result of near constant woodturning for a few years. What matters to me is to stay excited.
