"Misty City" How to make a stormy city in a vase/bowl. Tinted resin and pinewood, Wood Turning Lathe

"Misty City". This was a fun project showing how to make a stormy city in a vase/bowl using tinted resin and pinewood as a base with a unique resin casting technique and turning it on a lathe and finishing the interior by hand.

This project is being sold to raise money to fight child trafficking at : https://www.artforour.org/our/p/misty-city-vase-of-tinted-resin-and-pinewood-11-in-wide-6-inches-tall?rq=misty

I basically spend my free time dreaming up ways to express my artistic side and simultanously to raise money for Operation Underground Railroad. O.U.R. funds, supports, trains and guides rescue missions for children who are in sex trafficking slavery and frees them to better lives with an amazing after-care program. We cannot support O.U.R. enough. (OURRESCUE.ORG)
