Paint Continued

 

Here I'm masking off the heart from the other area in hopes I can do two colors... that look good. This tape is made by 3M and I've used it for years because it works really good. I put the tape on both sides of the heart, painted the red color and then pulled the tape back off. A few minutes later I masked over the red and painted both sides a different color. This worked out really well as you'll see soon.
 

 

 

Clear Coat

 

Time for some spray clear to keep them looking good for many years. And to make that happen I'm using my paint booth once again. I sprayed the inside and sides first and the next day I did the tops.
 

 

 

It's  Finished

 

Now you can see what it looks like. I mixed the color for the name but it came out darker than I wanted. It should be a lighter pink but once you take off the stencil, you're done.
 

 

 

Some nice grain on that oak and maple, however it's heavy. On the other hand, Tony and his wife Angelica are young.
 

 

 

The compound angles came out just ok... but I learned what not to do next time.
 

 

 

The masking tape did it's job and the two colors came out pretty good at the top.
 

 

 

Here is the one that Audrey will use, which will be kept under the sink in our guest bathroom. One thing I forgot to mention to Tracey is the location of the four screws on top. However, by cutting the template into smaller pieces, it was easy to avoid them so it all worked out.
 

 

 

The pine is much lighter than the hardwood and Audrey is able to move it around herself.
 

 

 

I painted the body of the two larger butterflies light brown, but the other two were just too small so they ended up being one sold color. So far our granddaughter really likes hers and the other one will be a birthday present for Ju Ju in October. These were fun to make and I'm learning more about my new table saw every time I use it.
