Long Stemmed Goblet
« on: February 19, 2013, 04:43:11 PM »
Taking a bit of inspiration from Cindy Drosda's work I made this Nat. Edge goblet from Lime Burr and Afromosa stem.
Stands about 18" high.

I like what you've done to the burr, spirit stains? And how did you apply the colours to get the gradual colour blend please.

The goblet (not too clear in the pic) is brown going to red and then yellow. Done with a rag and feathering the edge of the darker colour and rubbing in the lighter colour while both are still wet.

Thanks for the comments folks.
