Travis Posted April 5, 2023 Report Share Posted April 5, 2023 I don't know about where you live, but it's been dark and dreary with terrible weather where I'm at. I'm ready for some spring weather and some bright colors. So this month's scroll saw challenge is all about color. Post your projects where you play with color. This can be with paints, stains, dyes, sprays, markers, decoupage, or different colors of woods. I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Gene Howe Posted April 5, 2023 Report Share Posted April 5, 2023 Any one ever play around with a product called Gallery Glass? Saw some really neat effects on YouTube. I'll be trying some soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BadBob Posted April 6, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 6, 2023 A few years back, my grandson wanted a toy cow. I found a piece of clip art that he liked, glued it to some MDF, and cut it out. I figure he would break the horns off right away but they are still attached.

Popular Post BadBob Posted April 6, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 6, 2023 Dinosaur tray puzzle. I cut the back off of a 3/4 inch piece of wood, cut out the dinosaur and painted it, and glued the wood back on. The tray is finished with amber shellac.

Popular Post BadBob Posted April 6, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 6, 2023 T-Rex tray puzzle. This is my first attempt at a tray puzzle. I decided to make it a tray puzzle after cutting the dinosaur. I wanted to glue the gap closed, but it was too tight when I dry-clamped it to test. The back is a piece of hardboard cut, oversized, glued on, then sanded flush with a belt sander. The tray is finished with shellac.

Popular Post BadBob Posted April 6, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 6, 2023 Much work went into this collection of Bad Bob's Custom Motors cars. Several coats of white primer sanding between coats until smooth and the wood grain did not show through. Then multiple coats of flat acrylic paint were sanded between each coat until the white primer was covered. It took a lot of coats for the yellow one. I topped them off with clear gloss acrylic. The was a yellow sedan, but my grandson wanted to give it to a friend for a birthday gift before I decided to take the photo.

Popular Post kmmcrafts Posted April 7, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 7, 2023 I have not messed around too much with colors other than backers for portraits. This one here is flowers for spring time maybe? LOL.. The only other thing I do with colors is done on the laser so this one is all I got other than black backers.. Backer on this is just foam sheets ChelCass, Travis, Scrappile and 9 others 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post preprius Posted April 7, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 7, 2023 This project has taken me along time almost a year. Yea I lost interest for awhile. It is almost working. I have a few tunings to do. It is almost is done. I need to get an empty wine bottle instead of a soda bottle. I need to change out the white kite string. The design is called "Merlot" from Derek Hugger. Since the wine name I stayed with that theme and hand painted grape vines on the lever arms. The backing is wine slats from winery. The Purple and yellow are stained. All wood is baltic birch plywood. Except the backer slats. I wanted to try a kinetic sculpture but did not want a clock. These plans are easy to follow. But the assembly and tuning is always tweaking stuff. Ballancing by adding weights. This is huge 44 inches wide. I don't have a band saw so it was all cut with scroll saw.
