Guest gracewriter Posted May 27, 2008 Here are some pics. of the first ones. Didn't turn out too bad. Used 18kt gold leaf paint and it took a really long time to figure out how to get that black finish to look good. Thanks for everyone's help on this forum. It would have been really hard to do this without you all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest gracewriter Posted May 27, 2008 Here's a couple more. I'm presently working on some with a completely different finish and colors. I'll post those when I get them done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Terry Posted May 27, 2008 I know what ya mean with the black, sometimes gold looks better on flat black, or lightly scuff with steel wool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest gracewriter Posted May 27, 2008 All your compliments really mean a lot to me. I can't thank you all enough for taking the time out to write me. I should have taken better pics. The finish looks like sparkling velvet in the sunlight--I was shocked especially after the first one I did that turned out sooooo bad I decided to use it as firewood. You have no idea how many extra gray hairs I have earned through this process. Thanks to the member who encouraged me to post them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest gracewriter Posted May 28, 2008 Now why is it when I read Paris TN, I had a feeling someone would be thinking about Paris Hilton? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firemalt 10 Posted May 28, 2008 no but I wouldn't mind hanging around Paris Hilton...just for a day or 2. Too trashy for me. Grace... those designs look absolutely perfect, and completely elegent... thanks for sharing. It still amazes me what these machines are capitiable of doing... I KNOW I'm limiting mine to only about a fifth of what's it's capitiable of doing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest gracewriter Posted May 28, 2008 Thanks firemelt, you must pick somthing you like and I'll make it as your wedding gift. PM me for ideas on designs, somthing for your first house, perhaps to hang outside your door, "Chateau du Firmelt & Mrs. Firemelt, etabli, (...) 2008? I'm making one to match the colors of our house to hang over the garage--mustard yellow, black green, blood read. Sounds weird, but if you have a Ruby Tuesday's around check out how pretty the color scheme is on the building. I adore it. And by the way, if you plan on having children, just remember God's little joke he plays on us is by making babies so darn cute you just want more...but then they grow up and become teenagers. Mine came home today with a mohawk. I didn't think that they could get hair that long to stand straight up. Sure enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
