leatheroo Report post Posted March 24, 2010 (edited) I havent made a mask in a long time, so i pulled out the 1mm veg tanned calf skin and set to molding. It was formed over my trusty hairdresser head 'Derryn". After it was dry i thought i would try something new and went about trying to create a marble effect. I first airbrushed with black dye and then gave it some soft white streaks. I then grabbed a fine brush and started squiggling some lines. Next i put some blobs of white and used the airbrush with no paint and blew the white blobs around until they were very fine squiggles. I sprayed the mask after the photo was taken with a high gloss sealer, but i can never get a good photo after i put the gloss on. Let me know if you like it!!!

TTcustom Report post Posted March 24, 2010 Very cool, I especially like the marble effect very much! I have used a feather to do faux painting of marble but not an air brush/gun. Great tip! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TomBanwell Report post Posted March 25, 2010 Great marbling effect, Roo! I have never heard of using compressed air to blow the paint around to get that look. Good job! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CitizenKate Report post Posted March 25, 2010 You have really come up with a very dramatic effect, Caroline. It's kind of surrealistic. I've been admiring this for days... Kate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
