 A while back i was looking over the previous posts in this community and i came across someone who was making horror-movie themed my little pony customs which were (and still are) the awesomest thing EVER.  a freddie pony? YEAH! made all the better by the fact that i love My Little Ponies and have collected them since they started making them in '84

aaaaaand i just disclosed my advanced age LOL

anyway, i thought it was an awesome idea and discovered that there is a whole community of people who do this!!! sooooooooooo i decided to try my hand at it!

and here are some of the ones i am most proud of:

Paint on Cork

[tea-soaked.livejournal.com]

Anybody ever paint on a cork bulletin board?

I have a large board and I want to paint a muted background on it. Nothing opaque and nothing that will flake off, and I want to be able to put pins in it.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

ETA: Thanks. I am going to water down some acrylic. Will post photos of my work soon!

So I have a formal event to go to mid-January. My dress is bright red so I'm leaning toward gold for my shoes. However, I really can't find a gold shoe with the sort of style and heel-height that I'm comfortable with. I'm starting to think of buying something I like in everything but color and then somehow spray-painting/dying/whatevering it into the gold I want.

Does anyone have experience with this? What's the best way to go about it? Any shoe material better than others for altering it?

thanks!

I have a couple of nerf guns that I need to paint for a costume project - and I am not sure what paint is best to use (non-clogging, but durable). Reccomend types of paint please, rather than brand names.

I was bored :)

My computer was down for a two days. So no way to surf the Internet, to make collages, to chat with friends... I was bored :) But I got free time to finish a jewelry set which I started almost a year before.

Lampwork beads and sterling silver...
