Popular Post HandyDan Posted October 21, 2024 Popular Post Report Posted October 21, 2024 I have to thank @Gerald for the inspiration for this years ornament. His post on ornaments showed those he has done. This is my version. And as usual I didn't stop at two when I could do 60 and pass them out to relatives and friends.

Popular Post HandyDan Posted October 21, 2024 Author Popular Post Report Posted October 21, 2024 (edited) I use acrylic ink. It acts like a stain. I brush it on, it soaks in and leaves no brush marks. The yellow flames were done with acrylic ink too. There are many colors to choose from. Once the color is on I finish them with poly for the shine. I get it sent from Walmart but the hobby stores have it too. It's Amsterdam #315 Pyrrole Red. Picture just for reference. It goes a long way just like stain. Edited October 21, 2024 by HandyDan Grandpadave52, lew, Gerald and 2 others 4 1 Quote
