Post Submissions Here!

I am impressed. Can't wait to see more!

thanks _ I wasn't sure but was in a goofy mood. I maybe I'll paint something with stones on Metina when I see her - I think Metina NEEDS to be painted!

Love the tree frog Magic!

Anyone know of a good free tutorial for jewelry/shading?

Lilly Walters has a book, but it's not free.

I'm about to post a super simple step by step jewelry that I like to use a lot. It can be done in one minute so it's a great line mover. It will be up some time next week.

Love the frog necklace! Very original!

CHALLENGE BONUS: Anyone who posts a video of their submission for this challenge will receive free goodie to them by mail. Just PM me your name and address after the video is posted.

I really think that videos will really help those of us who haven't a clue how to do those.

For those who have already posted, if you feel like doing a video, just redo your entry on your arm or something. Sorry, but I just thought of adding this bonus now.

Looking foward to some vids.

-Metina

love the frog!....

never made a video...probably should be able to do it with the webcam...

Great frog design! How long did it take to paint?

thanks - I think it took me longer to take pictures than to paint it. It was pretty quick like 5 min

Angie i love it!!

I love the frog necklace too

Thats an awesome Idea Metina!! I know I would love to see videos.

@ angie anders...Very COOL! I love how sparkly!

So i've never done a jewelry design and so I had to take a picture of a bracelet I liked and followed the shadows and highlights: Step by step pictures and instructions to come, but I wanted to force myself to do it:
Step 1: Using a round brush and Snaz teal & Dfx L blue mixture, make round beads spaced nicely

Step 2: Using a small detail brush, paint design in DFX silver with Mehron powder mixed in

Step 3: Using a tiny detail brush and Wolfe black,
outline the silver jewelry and design.

Step 4: Tiny detail brush & Wolfe White, make highlights on the middle beads and silver

Step 5: Dfx bronze used to and depth to the beads (marble) and silver pieces. Add shadow along the bottom and sides of jewelry.

Final Step: Dfx brown to further add low/high lights along the jewelry and on the beads. Add more white detail along the larger beads.


Another pic of my design with my other stuff, looks more realistic!

oooo, thats' pretty...

wow these are all so amazing.
5 min to do the frog wow...It would take me 5 hours, and it probably still wouldn't remotely resemble a frog.

love the bracelet!

The bracelet is gorgeous I love it!!

I saw this bracelet on etsy & know I can never afford it, so... I simplified it & painted it:
1) Tools: filbert brush & round detail brush. Q-tip
2) Paints: DFX metallic light blue, metallic dark blue, metallic purple, gold, metallic copper, white & black. Starblend black.


Using a filbert brush paint an oval


Paint the cut stone using m. purple, m. blue, black & white


shade & bighlight metallic areas w/ copper, black & white. Shade under endge of bracelet.

Woooo HOOO this is FANCY!! It would make a nice Tattoo!

Do you have a bigger picture? =)

BluAngL83 and Psalmbook I find both designs very nice.
