I've been building up my stock of smaller pieces for a show this weekend, so I've been in potpourri bowl mode for a few days. I'm using up bigger blanks of ash that have cracked and become smaller blanks of ash. I've already got a number of natural ash-colored pieces, so I broke out the dyes and the airbrush and played around a bit. I used Transtint liquid dyes in denatured alcohol for some of them, and Transfast powder in water for the others. All are finished with several coats of rattle-can lacquer. Not buffed or waxed yet, but I'll be getting around to that in a couple days. I was too lazy to set up the photo tent so I tried a few outdoor shots.
Blue fading to Purple, 4 1/4" wide and 3 1/4" high...
Pink fading towards Black, with a bit of white pearl acrylic paint mixed in for grins, 5 1/4" wide and 2 3/4" high...
Turquoise fading towards Black, 4 1/2" wide and 3 1/4" high...
Honey Amber fading to Orange, Dark Maple, and Brown Mahogany, 5 3/4" wide and 2 3/4" high...
And a group shot showing the fade on the bottoms a bit better...
Looks like LOML already put her dibs in on the pink pearl one. Hopefully the others will sell as quickly.
