Sponge and dot art boomerang
Wow, another blog entry so quick? Well here we have another attempt with a mix of sponge art and dot art. This boomerang has some history. I probably made this one over a year ago. I hadn't painted it except to put down a coat of flat brown paint which I assume was enamel based. I thought I would do some dot art on it. It sat and waited. Before Christmas I had a past customer contact me about getting a large boomerang. I suggested this one and set out to pint it in a different fashion. I sprayed another color on at places and the finish crackled. Then the customer decided against waiting for me to paint the boomerang so I set it aside again. About a week ago I decided to resurrect the project.
I sanded off all the old paint and started over. For some unknown reason I painted the boomerang pink, not floro pink, but plain old pink. I have no idea what I was thinking. Anyway on Monday evening I took it and started to add some sponge art. I marked off the areas to be painted black, then proceeded to add cream, orange and yellow paint with a sponge. It was set aside to dry. Tuesday night I painted the black area with 2 coats. About then it was looking like a psycadelic cow. Last night I added the dots. I started by leaving a small edge of the back background and then started with a row of white dots. I followed up with a row of yellow dots and then orange ones for the balance of the space available. All that worked pretty well and I think you can hardly tell the boomerang was all pink a few days ago.
Sorry that the photo isn't better. I prefer to shoot in natural light but the sun was dropping pretty fast when I took the photo. At least there isn't any snow and the grass is showing signs of greening up.
