I used Elmer’s when I did the same thing to one of the dragon PYO’s. 🙂
Your story had me laughing too though. 😆I repainted my muse, then used superglue to pop her eyes back in. Just a teeny drop, then resocketed carefully!
(Same thing – gave her a bath, eye fell out and nearly headed down drain..)

Be careful with superglue. Sometimes the chemicals in it don’t play nice with the enamel backing on eyes / plating on horns.

Indeed! Today I bought some metallic paint, which seemed to brighten up my muse’s day, considering that she lectured me for an hour saying that she needs to be pampered like a queen because I have treated her worse than my other PYO’s. I will suck up to her queen-like ways…for now 😈 .
Maybe Susie should have sent me a nicer muse 😕 😆 . I will post some progress pics soon!HAha…looks clean compared to my painting….I get paint splats all over the place..and half the time have a streak or two on my face. 🙄
Oh cool! I love hearing about the little muse giving you trouble-lol I really like the area thats orange and yellow, I always have trouble with that part of the muse 😳 Love the blending, I have GOT to learn to do that someday 😯

That was my first time trying to blend colors like that! I struggled with it, but I like it! I just kept on saying to myself “no sharp contrasts!” There are still a couple of areas that need to be improved however. You can do it! 😀
Wow that’s great!!! Um…could you tell me how you did it? I tried and tried on a test piece, and just could NOT get it to work 🙁

I started out with the orange color first, and I painted every area that would have orange in it, and with the paint still wet, I took the yellow and painted over the areas that I wanted to be a lighter orange. Because the paint was still wet the colors blended nicely. As I am doing this I kept an eye out for sharp contrasts between the colors and tried to paint a nice transition from orane to yellow. I then took the yellow color and painted where I wanted it to be purely yellow. I blended the light orange and the yellow where I wanted the transition. When I looked at it, I realized it needed a darker shade to begin with, so I blended some red/orange mix paint at the top. I hope that made sense! 😀
lol-thanks! I think that is what I was trying to do sorta, but I found that my paint was drying SO quickly that even trying to do it really fast it was too late 🙁 I have a Golden brand Retarder that I use, maybe I need to use a lot more-lol Thanks though, I have one muse in progress and another 3 blank so I have to try again!
