Just thought this would be neat to share :3

Do not know if anyone actually cares but!

Bought a ginormous hardboard panel and had it cut up into 16" x 20" pieces. Had three 16" x 16" panels leftover out of it. So decided to try and come up with something that could go together or separate for them Skulls, of course

[URL=http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h302/magadie/next.jpg]Step I[/URL] Drawn them up in CorelDRAW. Could use Photoshop but the lines behave better in Corel.. and have had the program for nigh on ten years or so XD

[URL=http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h302/magadie/step_ii.jpg]Step II[/URL] Sponged the panels with a mixture of brown, black, red and copper paint. Would've left them plain but two of the panels had a white streak across them. This wound up looking nicer anyway And vinyl applied. Two colors. Beige and light brown

[URL=http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h302/magadie/step_iii.jpg]Step III[/URL] Darker brown paint around the edges, where the copper leaf will go. Could've left it at that, it makes the skulls really pop. But really wanted to play with shiny shine

[URL=http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h302/magadie/step_iv.jpg]Step IV[/URL] Metal leaf is so much fun! Has a really nice texture and goes with the shinyness of the vinyl

Dropped my camera in a fire on New Year's and the flash is broked. So waiting until daylight tomorrow for proper photos of completed product. .. not like the flash made for really great photos anyway...

Bought one frame to switch them out for photos in. Was going to use this metallic wax stuff to color the frame either bronze or gold, but the black is a nice contrast

so yay! completed photos tomorrow

..... 've a bunch of colors of vinyl decal material and not much else to do XD made other things : [URL]lunarscreams.etsy.com[/URL]

Holy shit, those are awesome! I agree about the metal leafing...it's fun to work with and always looks really cool. I want to make something like that to hang in my bedroom...not skulls, as my style is a little...brighter and girlier, lol, but I like the panel idea. I'm thinking I'm going to be doing faeries...not detailed up the wazoo, but in a couple colours/values like your skulls.

For Sale: Lots more FOR SALE HERE and HERE!

Damn! That's very freaking awesome! I LOVE anything skull/bone, I wish somebody actually sold those so I could buy one for every free space on my wall!
