New Type Painting of Bowls
I just finished these three bowls with the specific purpose of doing a unusual decoration and painting.  I dripped acrylic paint on shaving cream and rolled the  bowls on the cream.  After the paint had briefly dried, I washed off the shaving cream.  This did not work out as well as I saw it in YouTube.  Also, I was suppose to do this process on wood that had not been hollowed.  Unfortunately the wood cracked.  I filled the cracks with a combination acrylic paint and epoxy.  Linda likes them and I do not.  So much for new techniques.
