No tropical vacay for Brad. No matter how much he begs his wife to allow him one.
She insists she come along. What kind of getaway would that be? No thanks!
Finishing work continues on Wildflower:
Herewith we Undergo The Paintings of the Black Dye Upon the Background
I'm getting better at this but it is rather stressful. Even though the parts I don't want dye on are protected, one splotch or moment of
inattention, and you can really make things go south. Mostly safe this time, only a couple of boo-boos, but really you gotta be looking
pretty close to spot 'em. Plus, them happy little splotches just add that "hand-painted character" right?
I wish I wouldn't have made the decision to make the letters in black. But once I went down that trail, there's no turning back.
It' will all pull together better when antiqued... who knows? maybe it will turn out to be a cool decision. Kind of chancy though.
Going to let this dry overnight before the antiquing process which will serve to blend things together and
help bring out more detail.
And in-between things, we are turning up the gain a bit on this strap, called Hell Rider which will definitely go fully to "11" when it's done. Maybe even "12".
Biker bling from scratch is new territory for me, had to pick up some new tools, but it's a custom order for one of our TTR brothers who trusted
me enough to see if I can make this happen. Can you guess who? No, not the fastest gun in TTR, nor the fella with a malady as a username.
It will probably be the most comfortable similar heavy-metal-looking type sling in existence. I figure this one might be complete tomorrow.
When it's arrived I think the owner might want to check into any state laws regarding required registration of dangerous weapons, or whatnot.
That's all for today, all that painting/concentration has me sort of played out. Going to punch out early.... Miller time! (but not miller in particular).
