Prikli Pear having never owned one of those machines this was interesting reading. As far as the sky goes for the BV it will be stars and a moon with clouds as per his request. It should go OK. I had to turn down his request for a hut, too much and I can't experiment. I would need to practice first.

hang10tiki thank you so much. Your latest carving is certainly a difficult project. You pulled it off perfectly.

======================

Wish List #8 the Black Velvet for Stephen Seaton continues very slowly with my cold.

It's time to block into place all the parts of tiki number 3 with the first layer of paint.

I did the eyes and nose. Every part will look flat until other layers are added. The nose barely shows.

It was bound to happen. I made a mistake in placement. The orange dots almost touch the bottom of the nose. If these were elsewhere it would be a bigger problem.

Quickly I used a sharp edge to remove as much paint as possible.

Later on I will be able to cover this with the tiki grey wood. I was lucky. In the past I would at this point try to wash it off with a wet brush. I found that it makes the problem larger. Even when blotting it with a cloth and water I had a worse mess.

Using the photo as guide I placed a small dot where each will go.

Then I went back and enlarged each dot.

Wish you all a wonderful weekend. Wendy
