How did you get the "pools and islands" look on that one, @Slots?
what kind of finish do you use to protect but not change the color much?

Well....you aren't going to believe me, but those are drops of mustard.
Yeah, mustard. You dot it on, and then start the patina procedure.
They use ketchup too, but I didn't get that far.

I don't wanna tell you what I used for a sealer ... you'll tell me I did wrong !!
Hint ... same one I use to seal the surface of the gourds.

I went and bought small pieces of copper pipe to experiment with.
But their composition is probably a lot different than what you'll use it on.

I don't remember what you used to seal the gourds.

Stretched linen

Lovely stuff. Just leave it as is pretty much

Op shop/thrift store frame for $11

Want to recycle stuff. Maybe age an op shop blanket under the pear tree over autumn to be sized with rabbit skin glue in place of canvas

Won't be perfect masking

 

[pdib]

what's the masked circle on the right going to be?
I'm not remembering at the moment, and there's "nothing" there now to jog my memory.

Morning

Dawn is getting late

I don't know why, but I particularly like those night pictures.

Always enjoy and appreciate your content Doffy!

Just wanted to put that out there in case you sometimes wonder if anyone's paying attention.

I'm pretty sure I'm not alone.

LOL, have you taken up night stalking, or did one of those epic long walks have you getting home late?

Is that the finished product?

You definitely have your own style. I've never really been into art, and never really learned how to appreciate it, but I'm pretty sure that's good stuff right there.

It looks like something I would hang in my rustic cabin to match the ambience.

In other words, I like it!

It makes you think. (Maybe that's the idea IDK)

Predawn

I'm about to head out, for the 5.49am bus

The dark creepy photos were maybe 5am. I tried to get camera shake, but phone has stabilisation software

Not finished

No additional shapes to add. Just cleaning up, refining, layering

I can probably do a layer today. Last one should be touch dry

OH - and hi everyone!

I still pop in but have been very distracted since getting my new-to-me-for-Christmas toy.
Not to worry, first thing I did was customize the cup holders for Pinch & Punch action.

New tires -check.
Bed cover and mats -check.
Stealth tune to put this bad boy in "BEAST MODE" -check!

Now, if the price of gas would go back down.
