I got the Raddiatta Blues????????
Here is another experiment I have been mucking about with. Just a bit of ol' Radiatta dyed blue. 'Twas one of my earlier turnings so don't look to hard at the tear-outs and stuff. 2nd pic is with one of my cups. Something to develop?

I think the blue works well over a blonde wood,
nicely done...
Nice symmetry in the balance of grain pattern on each side of the center.
Keep thinking outside of the box...
or perhaps its a case of the if I clean my platter may I be excused ? blues.

Blues & all colours...!
Hi tea lady,
Yeah, I like it.
That was a nice colour to use, I've done a few myself using and experimenting with some, should I say..."unusual" colours and dyes types.
Some results were also "unusual" at the least!,.
Good fun tough...!
This is a pic of one of my early ones.
Cheers

You might use this but if not try it..coloring wood a good way great colours able to mix and non toxic so safe for food stuff also..food coloring comes in small bottle and is cheap, you can spray it or by rag brush, build up the depth or blend one colour to the other, its very easy to use, use gloves those stains the hell out of fingers, but does come out with some washing.

Here is the other pic of the saucer with the cup. I was looking to make the wood relate to the clay in some way. Colour is one way. Form is another.

Good job, TL. Saucer looks like a platter... til you set the cup on it. Like the grain with the blue coloring.

I started out turning telling myself I wanted to make things to go with the pottery. Now I'm having ideas with no pottery at all.
Thanks for the comments guys. Now to find some nice closed grained pine to do more.(Pine has nice knots don't you think. And the hard growth rings resist the dye so shown up the grain well.)anne-maria.

G'Day Tea Lady
Love those different ideas, thanks for sharing, really great, greenie sent!
If you ever feel like humouring a old bloke would love to see cup with handle, not fancy just a blue blush with it on that saucer.
Cheers
