pepin1948 Posted March 22, 2007 Report Posted March 22, 2007 My nephew recently asked Jesus to be his Savior, and in honor I made him this little gift. It'll be a magnet, and I'll pen his name and the date on the back. (A side note: his favorite color is orange, as is mine and my dad's!) What I learned on what OUGHT to have been an easy project: 1. orange turns green fast on blue unless you put some white down first!!! (took a few coats before my brain kicked in on that one). I at least had been using a wash, so it wasn't too layered looking. 2. a fine tip paint marker can "bleed" easier than you think when using it on lettering; should've gone with a brush there. Quote
Members Oscar B Posted March 22, 2007 Members Report Posted March 22, 2007 (edited) Nice work. If you were using acrylics sheen can be used before applying the color to stop bleeding, but the white work best. Edited March 22, 2007 by Oscar B Quote Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Forget about the ones who don't. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would most likely be worth it."
pepin1948 Posted March 22, 2007 Author Report Posted March 22, 2007 I should've done that for sure, because I found out that when I added the spray Shene after, the acrylic bled So now I have to do yet another coat of orange! Quote
