Popular Post heppnerguy Posted January 30, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 30, 2023 We have been quite busy since before Christmas and I finally found some time to get back into my Scroll Saw Village family. Yesterday my wife asked me to make something new to add to her Valentines decorations so I found this Sue Mey pattern and asked her if she like it and I got a resounding "YES, VERY MUCH". I immediately went to the shop and cut this one for her. I have been away from here for about 2 months and I am so happy to be back here with all of you. I will go back and try to post some of the items I have not yet posted just so you know I have been doing some items in my shop as well.

Scrappile Posted January 30, 2023 Report Share Posted January 30, 2023 Going to be beautiful, Dick... Love how you paint the backer. Well don't know if I love how you do it because I do not know how you do it. But I love the results. I purchased a pretty good air brush a while back but have not had the nerve to try it yet. Is that what you are using and what kind of paint? I think we are glad you are back also you alway seem to liven up the place some. danny and heppnerguy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that what you are using and what kind of paint? I think we are glad you are back also you alway seem to liven up the place some. I am still to take time with my air brush but it is still very much on my agenda. I simply placed the backer board on some paper and spray the main color on first, not caring that the very outside section is covered very well, (only lightly), then while it is still wet I take a can of spray black and spray it so that the center of the spray is actually spraying on the paper and the rest is going on the backer board. I place the BB so the the part I am spraying is farthest away from me and the turn the BB so the next side is farthest away from me and continue with this method until I have done all four sides. This results in a sort of blended pattern for the paint, as the most dense spray is hitting the most outside of the BB and the ' over spray' is in the center part. If I get the black closer to center of the project I just respray the center color so that it is the center of focus again. Give it a try. I certainly like the outcome of this method.

If you read my remarks to Paul, (scrappile) you will see I do not use an airbrush at all on the backer board. I explained in detail just how I achieve this look. Thank you for the nice comments though Dick heppnerguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sort of figured out how to do it and have always liked the results of this method and use it a lot on my projects. Good to be back in The Village once more. I have missed everyone here a lot Dick heppnerguy danny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
