Im working on a few neat things at the house while things are a little slower at Robbie's shop; the Honda Cafe tail upholstery and paint, a 1958 Ducati paint and pinstripe, and some paint panels/pieces for the upcoming Timonium show. This first piece im working on isn't done yet, but i wanted to experiment with a bunch of things at once so if it got ruined at any point i wouldn't be bothered by its destruction. So on this piece i tried the water droplet effect with blue candy, kiwi green marbleizer, an array of colors made from 1 color, and a different design to start with. Since it hasn't gotten ruined yet, im going to keep adding to the design... and if it doesn't die, i'll clear it when im done. I've got a bunch of panels cut out so i've got plenty of surface to play with. Lots of cool stuff. The Ducati is going really well... first i re-did all the colors and clear, then i sanded it down and pulled the Ivory lines followed by the Maroon lines. It's had a couple days to dry so it should be ready for re-clear, then wet sand and buff. It ought to be super nice and clean when it's done. And since its the beginning of the year, im looking ahead to possibilities both long term and short.... it's hard to guess what will happen, but usually about this time of year i start making a serious plan for the upcoming year as far as what direction i want to go, what styles are 'in', practicing new things... generally being open minded, but focused on a goal. But thats for another post...
