laust18 Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 I learned several "what not to do" tip finishing these...I have a bit of trouble finishing some pieces, when it comes to stain color combonations, On the 2 hummingbirds, I now wish I would have kept the birds a flowers light and made the backer dark...oh well, life and learn....I also learned that trying to hand paint tiny puzzle pieces is much harder than it would appear.....I will sand the autism one down and redo it in a different way... Thanks again to Russell for designing what I had in my head, it turned out great "except for the finishing part" neptun, ChelCass, Falcon and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kepy Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 You did a nice job on those. I agree on the hummers that reversing the colors would be more effective. laust18 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Monk Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 Loren, No matter how much experience you have you can always look back and see something you can do different. They look good. Where did you get the hummingbird pattern? dave laust18 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppnerguy Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 Loren, I like them all but i would think it would be easier to cut and paint another piece all together that try sand off the paint and refinish it.. Just my take on things Dick heppnerguy laust18 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
