Unbelievably beautiful! This is definitely my favorite piece of yours! The contours on the edges give it a ‘soft’ and ‘puffy’ effect. Stunning, Michelle!

That’s a really nice piece of work. I’ve been interested in trying some coloring in my turnings but don’t know where to start. What kind of dye do you use?

Hi Lazarus..I see you are new to Lj’s..welcome. This is not dyed. it is airbrushed. I’ve only made 2 airbrushed peices so far, and I am enjoying it immensly. I made the teal piece too that is posted a few ahead of this. Enjoy

Very delicate but with a bold colour. A good combination, Michelle.

I think you have earned the right to brag! I like the Rose Copper color also! Nice work!

I think Sheila’s description is good too. Funny how you have made maple seem soft and puffy. Quite the trick !

Very nice. I would really like to know how something like this is made.

This is an interesting piece Michelle, has it been turned in 2 halves & joined?, hard to realy tell from the single shot, there is a few miles left in this design element.
Lovely imaginative work as we have come to expect :: ))

If I made it, I’d brag about it too! Besides, it is quite okay to toot our own horn here on LJ! I love it ! ! !
