when i saw the thumbnail I was drawn to the color, and that it was on the rim & underside also. I thought it was inlaid shell or other material. I think this is really nice work

Thanks Michelle. Some find it too bright but I think it works well with this piece.

Robbie,
I also was drawn to the color it really makes you want to pick it up & caress the bowl. What paint did you use can you give a link to it.

Thanks Chuck

Robbie,
Did you use it straight out of the bottle or thin it down?

Hi Chuck, I water it down 25 - 50%, enough to make it flow into the texture. Some times I might need to put two coats on.
