Art & Inspiration Friday Artstuff, yeah it's already Friday in Awestraylya!

Nice Stuff Cougar,
Are you using Sculpey? If so, how long do you need to let it set up to machine or do you force bake it with the oven?
I really dig your stuff and was always interested in sculpting with that stuff. I could join my 4 yr old daughter in f-in up the carpets in the house.

thanks man! I know my mom used to make dolls and sculpted their faces and baked em in the oven. I was freaky to come down in the morning and there was a tray of eyeballs laying on the kitchen counter HAHAHAHA

Mike, I've used plain white Sculpey and some Sculpey Premo so far. Baked in a regular oven by their instructions- doesn't take long. I haven't tried any "machining", don't want to lose the hand made character. That would probably work better with the resin casts anyway. It WILL sand and a fine rasp works great. So far I haven't ruined any carpet but it does look like I've taken up whittlin'.

Cougardan,

The hubcap HAMB idea is aces....I can't believe noone else ever thought of that. And to turn that idea into a shifter knob....I think we found a winner. It's just too bad you couldn't chrome that thing. No worries, I'd "settle" for one painted black with red/white striping. I could picture that in Ryan's '38 easily. Fuckin' cool man.

And Carps,
I reckon she's right......

 

Thanks bro,
I am thinking I will have to find some that stuff to do some family time with my lil one... HEHEHE quality time with the kids!
Mike

 

Actually you could chrome it with paint!!! I agree, that hubcap is a super cool concept. If you want to send me one sometime, I will shoot it with this Also Corp Chrome paint for experiment.

I've been laid up with the Flu all week, but I did manage to get a couple small things painted. A purse for a friend of mine, and the top of my toilet.

 

you could find a shop that dioes Chrome FX or Mirrachrome finishes. It is a paint process that looks just like chrome, and they can chrome anything!!

 

painting i did, in shadow box, with silk roses inside, i did for delawaregeorge last week.

 

Heres one I'm still working on trying to think of something to write in the bottom right corner.

This is the first thing I've pinstriped in two months I dont like it that much but here it is.

 

barnett you suck.

im going to go kill myself.

your color choices and schemes and the smoothness of that seat just looks so damn cool.

 

Great stuff this week guys.

Here are a few things that I had Kritz stripe for me. First is another Pleasure Chest cooler. I gave this to my buddy Bill as a gift...He is the guy with the V-12 bucket, that I have posted pictures of before.

 

Next are a couple of panels that I had him stripe, for gifts. Fist one is hot pink, with black and white stripes.

 

This panel is a grean/gold metalflake, with red and black stripes. The pictures do not do these things justice, they look way cooler in person.

 

Just for the hell of it, here is a pic that I have posted before, this is the first pleasure chest cooler that I finished, minneapolis moline gold, with black and off white stripes.

 

Well I might just sneak one in

Nice work everyone...as usual! I really dig that green panel Kritz did! Josh...I'm starting to hate you more, every week. Thanks for the compliment, Caffeine...now lets see some more of your work...sems like you've been holding back lately! Speaking of holding back...where's Hami and Picasso and PPoC and Nailhead60?!

 

Somethin' I'm workin' on for the Green Bean...

 

I know what TCB means, whats the "T" in TGB for.

 

I guess it's for "the." I dunno, where's Draglinks?

 

Thanx for the encouragement, but next to this stuff, my stuff is pretty ordinary.

This weekend is KOA John's picnic and we kicked it off as usual last night with the Friday evening BBQ and benchracing session. One of the guys ggot game and let me cut loose on his car. Pics soon. I have another one lined up for this arvo, so we'll see what happes.

Another of my plans is to have a huge panel hung in one of the rooms for anybody who wants to have a try, all they need is a brush and some paint. If it looks any good we'll auction it off and give the cash to the widow of one of our mates who succummed to cancer recently.

 

Barnett, you're a good guy, making a youngster like me feel all warm and fuzzy. However, I'm just trying not to flop on my ass too much.

Great stuff guys, I look forward to this post every week.

 

Barnett is one versatile dude!
