I was given some holly, not big stuff but enough for some small boxes.
Having turned it I wanted some sort of lid and after a few various sketches decided upon the raised rim which then begged a stopper instead of a lid.
The colour is Blue & Purple spirit satin, airbrushed on carefully to give a carefully blended colour transition.
Then 3 coats of Acrylic Satin Varnish, denibbed between coats and finally buffed with Burnishing cream to a high gloss.
The sphere is around 2½” diameter the whole thing stands just over 3" high.
C's & C's as you will and thanks for looking.
