Can you guess I've just got some new paints? Sycamore Hollow form, 5.5" x 3.75"

I can certainly appreciate the work and I've no doubt that it will be very popular, but I find the colour-mix just a bit OTT for my liking.

Education is important, but wood turning is importanter.

I think your paint was a little wet on this one, the milky areas show where the mica has 'pulled' out of the paint.

Notwithstanding that, I think the milkiness makes it looks even more like a nebula.

Still a stunning effect.
Oh Lord, Lead me not into temptation…

Yep, I agree, the paint was a little bit to wet on this one.  I'm not to keen on the whiter parts myself although one or two areas are not to bad with it. Cheers for the comment, it's always good with someone else's perspective on this.
