All you need mark is to decide what colour green is your main colour then take some of that on one side and add white/yellow to lighten it or brown/blue to darken a bit and mix as you paint..

there, it easy..

Hi chris
i use decoart americana acrylic paint, first i seal them with a sealer, then i undercoat and finally the paint, love doing it..

The butterflies are just glue then glitter but very popular..

I paint loads of disney characters but i cant show them here because the royalty police are out in force when i do, but if you visit my facebook page you can see the stuff i do..

Steve.

Many thanks for the paint info, I see that brand is available from Hobycraft, we have a store approx nine miles from us, so will have to plan an excursion one day, and have a look. That will be a major trip out for me. 8-[

Had a look on your Facebook, some nice work.

Take care.

Nice work Steve. Like the finish and the glitter butterflies. I did some pencil holders a while back along the same lines. Next time I do some I may put some "extras" such as your butterflies on them. They really make them more personal. Thanks for showing us.

Thanks Mick
would really like to see the pencil holders as i am currently trying to think of new items to cut for my cabinet at work, and as christmas is approaching too..

Steve I will dig out the pictures I took. They are on another laptop, but I should be able to get them today.

Here are the pics Steve, I hope they upload OK. Sorry about the quality but I'm no photographer.
The main lettering is made from 1 1/2" pine with the holder made seperately and glued on the back. I think the font I used was Cooper Black. The letters are about 4" high. The bottom of the letters were carved into the wood with a dremel rotary carver bit. Hope this is of use.

[stevebuk]

i love the finish on the pine mick and i have a dremel tool, i may just drag it out one of these days, thank you for showing them..

 

[journeyman]

No problem Steve. Glad you got me to dig the photo's out, now Ive seen them again I may do some more.
Mick

 

[martinka]

Some lovely work there from both of you. I wish I could get around to actually finishing stuff off, but once I have cut it I tend to lose interest. Good job I'm not trying to sell anything.

[stevebuk]

i think your type of cutting martin is the greater discipline, i couldn't cut out portraits or anything like that (although i have) its just too boring for me although i do like the challenge and i think things like your whitby bus are time well spent, just not by me..lol


Mick, did you make a mark where you wanted the cutting bit to be, i would be a bit weary of going off line and ruining the cutting..
(if i dont reply for a while i have gone away on my painting holiday and not sure if i can get the forums on my phone)
