Started the cottage
Just wanted to share. I primed and painted the body of the house
tonight. Kind of a pain to do with my wrist in a cast, but definitely doable. The house walls are "Hazy Green" and the gable I mixed my own color by adding white to it, to make a pale green. I have a very dark green, but I didn't like the color (too yellow), so I think I'll buy some black paint and make my own dark green for the small amount of trim that needs the dark. Or maybe I'll paint it another color entirely - more contrasty. I'll have to think about that one. The trim goes on toward the end, so I don't need it right away. Carol, you recommend foam brushes, which I used, but the small one started disentagrating pretty quickly. Is that to be expected? You were right. They do make a nice smooth texture. Cathy Weeks |

"Cathy Weeks" wrote Carol, you recommend foam brushes, which I used, but the small one started disentagrating pretty quickly. Is that to be expected? You were right. They do make a nice smooth texture. There are 2 kinds that I've come across. One type was very smooth and I seem to rememember them falling apart. The other kind is rough and didn't fall apart. I got the latter ones at AC Moore. Carol S P Miniatures http://www.spminiatures.com |
