| | Re: one eyed pete Jim, the carving and painting, both, are just fantastic. Would you mind telling me what kind of finish you used? It has such a warm, mellow look to it. I love it! |

| | Re: one eyed pete Jim you gotta get a little better picture of the snake,
i seen you mentioned it, after a little tweaking on the picture i can tell theres something at his feet tyed with a hanging rope, i think it would be wirt the effort for some new pics to show the snake, maybe another color backround
it misses the humor you put into the carving without it. |

I paint with acrylic's mixed with water except i use it straight out of the bottle for the eyes and belts. ....then I take some..... blo... and mix a few drops of raw sienna with it and just dip the carving or brush it on (blo) and after it drys for 24 hr spray 3 coats of deft. I like the look of the blo and raw sienna to me it looks like a sun tan skin or what skin looks like when you work out side.

| | Re: one eyed pete I agree with Gene. He does look like Rooster Cogburn, but I don't remember the Duke ever taking a rattle snake for a walk. Great carving. Well done. |

| | Re: one eyed pete Well I must say that one eye pete and his snake jake are great. Too bad for every one that cannot see it and touch it ! For the pictures do not do it justice. I forgot to ask what do you use to sign your great work! moon | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
