Here he is in all his blue glory! The only thing left is to give him a name and put him on etsy. I plan on getting my etsy shop back in order sometime in the next week. Hmmm....got to think of a name!
Sally, He is so handsome. Cobalt comes to mind as a name for him. I didn't realize that Ceramacoat paints could be used on Poly! They are so much less expensive than Genesis. I will definitely be picking some of them up for hubby and I! And also I hadn't realized I could use the Tulip paints too! I have tons and tons of those. Yeah more goodies to use with my clay. Thanks so much sharing your secrets with us. I can't wait to learn more and try my hand. :-) Deborah
Your very welcome! I will tell you stay away from the Folk Art paints (except the metallics). They seem to sour quickly and take on a horible smell. Americana and Ceramcoat are both great. Watch the sales at Michaels. If you want taller spines with the Tulip paints do it in layers. Otherwise you get mushy piles...learned that one the hard way...ha ha ha I hope to get the next tutorial up in a few days. It is for a large ball joint companion to Eco. Sally
I believe i have a box full of Americana paints out in the garage, form my days of One-Stroke painting. Yeah can't wait, can't wait! Oh yes good tip on building in layers. hmmm I wonder if I can build up anemone spines that same way. Ohh now my brain is in over load! wheeeee. :-) Thanks so much Sally! Deborah
I am a self taught sculptor who primarily creates dragons. On occasion I stray outside my comfort zone but I run back quickly. After all, you can never have to many dragons!
