I've seen it before KB, it's kinda like swirling. Still would be cool to do though!

Yeah love to have a go , getting the artwork to sit on the water must be fun

Reminds me of that old fashioned fly paper they used to use on good quality books.
Oil based inks floating on water and then very gently lay the paper over it.
This has taken that concept to a whole new level! Wonder how they manage to do it?
Must research this......

Yeah getting the image to stay as a whole while you dip great skill

[dingobass]

It must have something to do with the spray they applied to the surface..
Wonder if it is an acrylic that creates a backing that holds the other paint in place?

Doesn't matter how they do it, it's really bloody cool and it takes a good amount of skill to do!

Part of the technique but more paint rather than image based

I'm just astonished how the pattern stays together as they put a 3D object in it. How does it not distort as it wraps around the wheel?
