Yeah I quite like how it's turning out. And more importantly my daughter loves it. It was mostly done with ink. I think it's acrylic? The purple around the edges was done with a water based fabric dye which was being sold in a bargain bin for half price.Originally Posted by JohnH
On the back and sides I used the purple dye over the whole area rather than just the edges and it gave it some kind of darker bands with how the wood grain took it up. And finally I've been mixing the blue ink in with the wipe on poly. It doesn't really mix... but I guess it kind of atomises, or something, as it turns blue as I mix with a sponge.
Here's some recent shots. The clear has become a lot darker with more coats (and probably the ink). Still a nice colour and the wood has some nice fire in it. Can't see from the photos but as you move it the dark parts will catch the light and become bright and vice versa. Switching between purple and blue. Pretty cool. I think the wood is Spruce......
