Contributing Member ClayB Posted January 7, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted January 7, 2008 The pictures that were posted yesterday were lost again last night when the forum went down. They will need to be posted one more time. Hopefully that will be the last time. Johanna and Kate have done an amazing job fixing what wasn't supposed to be fixable and saving what wasn't supposed to be salvagable. Just be patient for a while longer, and it sounds like most of what was lost might be back (but it could take a couple weeks) In other posts here on the forum, it was announced that any pictures posted since October were lost and should be re-posted if you can. If you want to be able to see the adult section of the forum, you need to send a PM to Johanna. The forum is set up to be family friendly, and that section is made available only by request.

Members Tina Posted January 8, 2008 Author Members Report Posted January 8, 2008 (edited) Lets see if I can make some hints on how I do the coloring on some of the objects. First of, If possible I would use the spirit dyes on most things that needs a vivid color...They rock! The flames: It's actually easier than it looks the way I have the rest of the design. I prefer and use Angelius spirit dyes for them (but I guess any dyes can be used?). I actually just use that cotton round thigie on a metal string and dab around (really) I have yellow and red that meets somewhere in the middle for orange (or I mix orange in beforehand to make it easier). I also use resolvent and rather make a few extra layers and get it right than all at once. The trick is to be lightning fast (supermanspeed but still one has to know what to do) to keep the work and dyes wet. Because I make the background black it's very forgiving cuz it covers all the flaws. The black is Angelius leather paint done with mostly a fine brush or two. The flags and badge:This is all painted with the leather paint, "easy as apple pie":-) Snake collar:This one was tricky to say the least. Here I used the spirit dyes for the flowers and leaves. Because of the small details I used a small brush to them and I just love the resolvent fluid...It really helps keeping the work under some sort of "control" (?). I guess my background as and artist with many moves down my spinal cord helps *S* The background again is the black leather paint and the snake I made with antiquing, why settle for just one kind of coloring when there's so many to use:-)I hope this helps a little bit and feel free to ask, I'll try to aswer ASAP//Tinaps. ps. I just got the "hidden section" up in my user and will post the the rest of the pictures up almost as we speak Have a fab day everyone//Tina Edited January 8, 2008 by Tina Quote "He who works with his hands is a laborer.

Members Tina Posted January 8, 2008 Author Members Report Posted January 8, 2008 I just made a little practise piece the other day when the forum was down. This is also mostly spirit dyes (and the black leather paint) Because so many areas is touching each other that needs coloring I tried to use some of my arty stuff, Masking fluid to prevent the colors to get into the wrong place. It worked but...The next time I have to do the layers of the masking fluid much thicker...It was a drag to peel of (with the pliers *grrr*) Quote "He who works with his hands is a laborer.
