Thanks for stopping by my gallery and taking the time to rate my rainbow. It was a club project. I learned that carving it was only a small part of the job. The painting was time consuming, but the results are good. Many thin washes and letting it dry naturally were two lessons learned. Using a hair dryer to speed things up can cause the paint to blister, so the next one will be even better. I've always wanted to do a ball in a cage. You do great work and inspire me to do one. I have plans to do a golf ball in a cage. Have you done one of those? Thanks for your visit!
