Joe,

This gem reminds me of a form of Tiger’s Eye called “Marra Mamba.” In the sunlight I’ll bet this hollow form really kicks out more color than what can be seen in these photos. Sweetly chatoyant. Well done.

keep practicing… you’ll eventually get it right!

your color separations are wonderful…

I’ve been attempting the process… I tried blending blue and yellow… it turned green. The black base coat just made it look like a muddy green… for the time being I’ll stick to a single color. I’ll work it out on a smaller project other than the Shaker table I’m attempting. Water based poly lifts the color off… which can be a good thing.

I’m a bit naive since this is my first work with dye. Your blog made it sound easy… if not tedious. Apply, wash off, sand vigorously, dry, and do it again… I think there is a bit more to it.

Beautiful grain and blending of the colors. Subtle, yet vibrant.
