   These are all done with Iridescent Acrylic Paints... The H/F 5"diameter was one of those pieces that did not turn out as
   expected  ( thankfully ) ... The 2 bowls are 9"diameter ...The Acrylics are all finished with Auto Cellulose can Spray
    and the wood part in finishing oil...these are part of the on going experiment with Iridescent paints.
   Still having trouble photographing these.

Tony, Di,

I can see the appeal of the 2 platters, they are very dramatic.

But the gentleness of the colours on the hollow form really win it for me.

Hi both....I'm with Bryan on this....whilst they all look amazing, for my personal taste I find the bowls a bit busy, but the subtlety of the HF is beautiful.

             Thank You.. Bryan ... and ...Les

    We also like the first one the best.... although it has  less of a true marbling effect it has turned out better than expected.

   On the two platters/bowls the paints were stirred together a lot more... which has given a more heavy marbled effect.

    Much Appreciated
    Kind Regards

 Hi Tony & Di,
                      I like these very much and I can understand the difficulty you are having photographing these it is probably something to do with the Iridescent paints and the high gloss finish reflecting the light I would think there is someone on this Forum who could offer advice on using some type of filter I look forward to seeing these in the flesh on Thursday make sure you bring "Moody Blues"

                                                                                  Regards John

Amazing pieces, paint is not my forte. But I admire those who manage to get it right. Well done.

[Tony Kairo]

I like these very much - Can i ask you what substance are you using to float your paints on before dipping?

[edbanger]

WOW the colours on that hollow form are something special

All the best

Ed

     Thank You Tony..... Carrageenan was used to float the paints on ... 2 to 3 tablespoons to a gallon of cool water
     and leave to stand for 12 hours, or thereabouts.
     Kind Regards

   Thanks Ed....... It has taken a bit of working out how to stop the iridescent paints from separating too much once they
   have been thinned down. Hopefully  I`m now on  the right track. ...... But As Always Without Tony`s Turned Canvases
   I Would Not Be Able To Play.
   Kind Regards
   Di & Tony

All of these are gorgeous. I really like the iridescence and the way the colour flows from top to bottom on the hollow forms. I will have to try marbling one day if I ever get time. Well done again. Malcolm.
