I usually pencil in the design and then use the Dremel to carve. Half the time I will then use the V-shape woodburner to make the cut a little deeper. Then I use a Sharpie over that to darken the line uniformly. The paints I love are Perlacryl acrylics and I buy them from Blick. Sometimes I use pigment powder and drop it on the gourd from about 2' high and then spray it with water mist to create gold or bronze highlights
I do like this one! Funny
ReplyDeleteI do like the alien egg! Funny.
ReplyDeleteDo you carve the gourd or burn it with a burner to get the dark lines? The paint is amazing.
