my first inside out turning

I’ve seen these type of orniments in magazines and on online. I’ve never done one. Nor have I tried an inside out turning. So here’s my first attempt at both. 3 of the 4 openings are closed off using epoxy, tinted with belive it or not red food color. It makes a red transluencant like window. When you catch light from behind it, it lights up. Inorder for the epoxy to work in the openings, I backed them with small pieces of plastic wrap. Then I would mix small amounts of the tinted epoxy, filling each hole by layers. If you just give the epoxy about 6-7 minutes between layers each layer melds with the previous. Once all holes are filled it’s back to the lathe for clean up of the excess epoxy.There is a little bell suspended from the inside top. This was a real blast to do. Oh, the bottom tip is 1/8 brass rod I ground to a point. It’s held in place with CA.

Sorry pics were taken with my phone.
