Solar Flare - 10" dia beech platter finished in the style of George Foweraker with Jo Sonja's paint.
I'm not sure about this one (the wife hates it) so I may put it back on the lathe and skim it clean and try something else. An altenative idea is to stain the centre black and call it Eclipse!

Hi I also am not sure about the colours on this one but I do like the idea of the beads on the edge of the bowl and the rim.Regards John

If the gold had not run before I managed to spin it I might have got the full effect I wanted.
Martin, you're right - too much paint and too thin.
So it's One for - One against - SWMBO got the casting vote - reworked it is then.

Shame it's to be reworked, as I'm sure it could just grow on one given time, after all it's a new idea, never mind it happens.
Cheers for a good try. David
PS... Did you get paint on that New Lathe ...

A good effort but I think you are right to re work it.
George, you can show me how soon.
