Now the Marmite moment

Postby Dalboy » 09 May 2016, 19:15

Carry on from my "A Bit Quite" It is Marmite moment you either love it or hate it. Well the wife loves it which surprised me.

Another experiment with colour done using ebonising spray and Jo Sonja paints.

This is something totally different for me but I am still playing with colour and texture.

C & C most welcome

Somewhere in between for me. Like the shape and form, and like the paint style but for some reason the red shades aren't sitting well with my eyes.

Well I love marmite. Marmite and cucumber sandwiches are a staple around here.

I think you know already that these heavily painted techniques although skilful and beautiful in their own way are not to my liking. The shape and form of the vase are to my liking though.

I am left wondering if there are not some grain colouring techniques that could be used to enhance what I understand is a very plain wood without masking it altogether.
I do not think therefore I do not am.

I like that, nice metallic look to the finish, almost like a bronze after heat treatment.

There is one point where I think I could have reduced it on one of the creases.

Thank you Andy I know what you are saying I use to think the same but have slowly come around, having said that I would not highly colour a piece if it had a really nice grain

The more of the paint I added the more the effect came out

I really like it!

Love the form and the finish as previously mentioned looks like heat treated/induction hardened metal.
