    Default Embellished Jarrah Platters

    Good Morning All

    Here are some embellished Jarrah Platters. The first and second are Robert Sorby textured and then ebonised, and finished with Danish Oil

    The 3rd and 4th are painted with Jo De Sonia (sp) using a seasponge. The first coat is darkest blue and 100% coverage. After drying, 70% coverage with a lighter blue, and then another 30% with the lightest blue. The paint is then sealed with Pearlescing and then the platter is sanded and finished with Danish Oil

    Sincerely
    Willy

    Willy, I'm a massive fan of the blue rim one. I find a lot of Jarrah to be just red wood but that's lifted the piece above that.
    It's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.

    I love numbers 3 & 4, the colouring makes it. What is Pearlescing and where did you get it?

    I agree that the blue against the red of the Jarrah is fantastic - but I've got a soft spot for No. 2 - holes and all.

    We've discovered the Jo Sonja range over here recently (even I've had a go) but the person pushing it forward it is a guy called George Foweraker - here's a link to his blogspot and his instructions on using the iridescent paints.

    I kinda like numbers 1 and 2. 2 especially. Always a fan of holey, nearly falling apart pieces.

    The blue has potential perhaps. Bit too perfect to me. Needs a bit of messing up.

    All nice pieces but.
