Confessions of a Leisure Enthusiast

Haven't been able to update too much, as my internet is no good until the 1st b/c first my router/modem crapped out, then I moved, so I should have my new one by the 1st of May.  Anyway, so, the videos are finished, all is well.  I have started painting the box/coffin. 

The exterior is hematite in color, the inside ->according to Keith's palette ->is the color of baby poop =D  Anyways, that's just the base coat. I rolled that on using a roller brush w/a 3/8" nap. 

The mid glaze is a pewter colored metallic finish.  It goes on top of the base coat, but underneath the crackle glaze. After that dries, I will be adding the crackle glaze which I will apply using a paint brush about the width of my hand.  I will apply the glaze pretty thick on the outside to acheive a large crackle effect, and thinner on the inside to produce a smaller crackle effect.  

After that dries (about 4-6 hours), I will return and put on the top coat.  The exterior is pomegranate, the interior is hematite.  Once that is finished drying (roughly 4-6 hours), I will come back to the exterior and apply an antiquing finish to give it more of a live look. 

Then I will cover the entireity with a clear glaze.  I should prolly go pick up some more, as I don't feel I have enough.  If it turns out right the case will look like a big broken heart – in a box shape.  Time is drawing near.  I may have to have another shift at work covered.  This is killing my budget in more ways than one.  Oh well, at least it's the last week!  Yay!
