Yet another couple of spheres

I'm Impressed. The bottom one goes over the top, in my opinion. Great collaboration. You help answer the question, "What do you do with a Sphere?"

As it happens, last night at our turning club meeting, we had a demo by two turners on sphere making. One used a home made jig and one worked by hand. But the bottom line was the same. A sphere is a sphere is a sphere. What good is it?

Your surface decoration is superb. Keep at it and have a great time this weekend.

These are really beautifully done Alan. What did you use for the coloring? Tombow, India ink, Staedtler?

David,

Lauren used Copic Microliner SP pens and brush tips for these spheres.

Very nice! Is the spiral stand a 3D printing?

Watch a couple episodes of Pawn Stars and you will see a few examples of some lovely segmented and turned sheres. I'd like to know who made them, Nice!

Sweet!

I see your one sphere received a 3rd place ribbon. Congrats to you and Lauren.
