Crupiea, I was looking at some of your stuff, there is a very interesting tilt to your work.  You make me wish I could paint.  I know you use very small blades, but do you cut on an angle to completely hide the kerf, or is it just too small to see?  Someday, perhaps I'll get to see your work close up.

Thanks Randy.

 

No angles. I just make the tiny holes in the black outlines.  

 

I paint most of my stuff with a regular spray can. I separate the pieces by color and tape them to a piece of card stock.  so for the green example it easy enough to paint it straight green and then do some shading with yellow or white.

 

I am a cheapskate and usually only use primary colors from walmart o to "mix" colors I have to spray 2 at the same time.  thats where it sort of gets complex but once you fiddle with it its not so hard.  Purple and brown are the hardest ones hands down.  easier just to but a can of each of those colors.
