Combining Inspiration To Turn My Unique Christmas Ornament
Where does inspiration come from? I have asked that question many times. This time, I can identify where it came from: Last week’s ornament and the pumpkin also turned recently.
After turning a sphere, I mounted it after rotating the axis 90 degrees and then adjusting the axis to turn several shallow coves. Then mount it to a doughnut chuck to hollow the front. Finally an attempt to embellish further with paint. (That part did not turn out so well).
The body and finial is finished with shellac. I attempted to apply acrylic paint and then Rub N Buff for a swirl. After failing, I applied Rub N Buff to the entire hollow.
Also, I keep adding accessories to my doughnut chuck.
Enjoy.

Hi Alan, Merry Christmas and A great New Year to you and your family.
I like the creativeness of combining the concepts as you did here. I noted the Challenge, Side Hollowed ornament with the Snowman inside. I will be rating it up high on my list. Simple and effective ornament!
I admire your tenacity in coming up with new weekly ideas to demonstrate for us.
Enjoy your turning and keep safe.
Thanks

Hi Again, P.S.
Your fineal and top hanger could use a little slimming down to make the ornament more delicate. Note the style of fineals created by Cindy Drozda. Thanks. Peter
