That looks great and big too. I presume the colors are painted. If so, what did you use?

Thanks. its just rattle can spray paint. Obviously I paint the pieces before assembly.

its spectacular, if you are painting the pieces before before assembly does that mean you tape off all those little details and spray paint? 

if so that must be tricky... or is it intarsia?

Thanks,  What I do is cut out all the pieces and write on the back side what color they are supposed to be.  Then I put a piece of blue tape upside down so the sticky side is up onto card stock. I use one piece of card stock per color.  i stick all the pieces to the according card stock.  I them can paint them one color at a time and they all stay seperate. Once dry its like putting a puzzle together.

Tony, you make it sound so simple, but I have been trying to paint a picture frame for 4 days now.  I finally just decided it is good enough, but it is certainly not perfect like your painting.  What brand of "rattle can" paint do you like?

Huh, so it kinda is like intarsia then but your not sanding down the edges or anything...Not sure I completely understand but in any case its not likely something that I would pursue doing as I am not sure I have the skill or patience....

for now I will just look, enjoy and be awestruck with your work, its quite spectacular, I hope you sell your work cause you should
