Popular Post FrankEV Posted August 29, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 (edited) OK, tried to do something different. Was looking to do something that would look good in a beach house here on the East Coast of Florida. The pattern was pieced to gether from a number of patterns and and silhouettes, and some hand drawn additions. Top and bottom layer is 1/8" BB plywood. Most cuts made with a #1 Sharktooth reverse blade. The top board was partially stained with an Expesso stain and the collored areas done with acrylic craft paints. I don't pretend to be an artist and the painting took forever as I found it was necessary to paint the vertical cut edges as the unpainted edges looked terrible. This was one pain in the.... Touch upafter touch up was necessary as I do not have steady hands and I would miss spots. Hanging on a wall and viewed from 10 feet or so, it is not too bad, but up close...not so much. Good thing it is cartoonish and not meant to be serious art. I think the White frame I picked uo at Hobby Lobby helped a lot.

Here we would use a more demonstrative word like "Crap" or "Sh..". Thanks Foxfold 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
