Balloon colored vessel

This was a turned piece that just would not sell. I put it back on the lathe and removed all color and texture. Then re-painted it with Irridescent paint using a ballon to create the pattern.

Love to see it with lighter background.

It looked horrible with a lighter background. I tried whit and gray. The background reflects up onto tge piece and kills the color. Black killed the color in the top and you could not see the finial. I added a light to the back ground and adjusted the power until the piece looked the best.
