    Meltal leaf in sheets: amzn.to/3kOzpGL or flakes: amzn.to/3maEtEQ *you can save the extra you brush off for future projects. You can aslo skip this and use metalic paint (included i the above acrylic paint kit)

    As far as the Frankenstein name: my philosophy is “Allowing an unimportant mistake to go unmentioned is a wonderful social grace.”

    My oh my! My wife has been stopping by the dollar store after work and buying fall decor and wooden pieces right and left! She even got some ceramic sugar skulls to paint! I will say the witches hat she bought, when she choose to paint it like the Hogwarts sorting hat! So the pieces are only limited by our imagination! You have created some wonderful artworks for fall decor too! I often give her a hard time as she leaves brushes in water and I am kinda a tyrant about brush preservation! I have some Kolinsky brushes that I cannot let anyone else use anymore as I have let others use them in the past and “lost” one when they “abused” my fine brush! Gold leaf is not easy no matter the style of application! Yours looks wonderful!

    These are the absolute BEST I have ever seen the wooden plaques from DT. Love the gilding as well. I did a Santa last year, and I have never seen such a piece of nonsense. Flat, no dimension, etc. Please do the Xmas ones for us! I need art lessons. Basic. Really basic.

    Loved this :-) I have seen crafters using white glue and gilding flakes where they apply the glue to the item they want to foil and then apply a thick layer of the flakes. They then use a soft brush to burnish the flakes and get rid of the excess that can be used on another project.

    I had to laugh when you said, "If you don't have a liner brush, just go out in your yard and find a feather." I guess that's the difference between living in a city apartment or a country home ~ no stray feathers around here and not even a yard! lol 😀 I do love your Halloween projects and all the little tips you gave along the way, eg don't use wet glue with vellum or it will buckle. It's always fun to watch your craft videos!

  • @bbrown8353
    @bbrown8353 2 года назад +1

    once again your timing is perfect! I bought a bunch of wooden $tree Halloween cutouts and I'm getting together with the grandkids to paint this weekend. I never thought of using sponges to do most of the painting. I was going through my brushes to see which ones I was willing to sacrifice! I always have some kind of sponges on hand so this should work great. I'll cut them into pieces so they can change colors to their hearts content. My biggest issue is letting them run free and not trying to control it - while trying to get some color theory in there so everything isn't some shade of brown LOL. I did buy some dollar tree tempera paints and I have clear spray and thought I should use it - you answered my question.

    Halloween is one of the things that I really miss about living in North America. There are some people here in Germany who celebrate it, it became popular in recent years, but it's not the same really, it's mostly just a bunch of kids trying to copy what they saw in American TV shows and annoyed adults who give into it. Totally lacks that fun spirit. I really wish I could live in two places at once.

    Don't know if you mentioned it. The Frankenstein would make a great Halloween mask . 😃
    The last several years, instead of dressing up for Halloween, I paint a t-shirt. I'm a big Doctor Who fan. I'm hoping to draw a Weeping Angel. Look them up. They're really terrifying when they bare their teeth.
    Last note. I really like you using the gold foil on the cameo. Nice touch.
