Myrtle Hollow Form pierced and airbrushed metallic Candy Apple Red. Could not get the color balance right in the photo which makes it more pink looking. Around 5" (13 cm) tall. My second hollow form. This offered a couple challenges. The wood really needed an oil finish to bring out its beauty, but that made paint adhesion tricky even with an interface coat of Shellac. My first experiment with Candy colors. Final finish is EM6000 waterborne lacquer.
Poplar Hollow Form dyed in a Chris Pytlik style. I saw a demo on this technique by Chris at Totally Turning 2012 and decided to give it a try. Around 6" (15 cm) tall. My third hollow form. Bleaching this prior to dying proved to be a challenge. I used Hood 2 part bleach, and that got rid of the green streaks, but left some red streaks. Finished with EM6000 waterborne lacquer.
