I just talked to Susie and she said they are closed today so nothing today. 😀 So we can all breathe and take a break. (and give that refresh button a break) 😆 XD
Hey! I am not sure if Melody or Susie will read this, but can we have like a schedule for things to come?? Like how soon can we expect those coileds? And every Friday for the past two weeks, you have put PYO Keepers out…so can we expect to see them today?? I opened a Twitter to follow your announcements as well as a facebook….but all I hear are the crickets chirping……and don’t get me wrong, I love the crickets, but they are slowly putting me to sleep over here. hahaha Thanks so much!

That’s what I’m waiting for! :yes: *hits refresh again*
I have been waiting….hitting F5 repeatedly since knowing there were gonna be more orientals and coileds. I even got a Twitter so I an wait for Melody’s announcement…..yet…..I hear nothing and I know that I will miss them because I have to make dinner or bathe the kids…..something will happen I know it! 🙄 😡 **goes back to the store**
Thanks Jennifer! I have started on my keeper without a base and the color is taking VERY well, however….I have learned to fully rotate the dragon because the scales are 3D. LOL 😀 Doing well so far, and I have to say that it is very relaxing. 🙂

I took your advice to get Krylon clear coat spray but when I went to the store they had clear gloss….clear satin…and clear flat….??? Which one do I get?? Please help!
EDIT: Also, should I put a layer of white or another paint color to keep the first colors from absorbing in?
gloss is if you want it shiny.. satin is a sheen but not extremely shiny and flat.. well it’s dull (I would put it on a wolf for a more natural finish)
so it’s up to you which one you want to get.. I got Valspar as the brand.. it doesn’t seem to run as much as krylon.. although most of the time I use a brush on sealer..
and what do you mean “should I put a layer of white or another paint color to keep the first colors from absorbing in” if you’re talking about putting that on again after sealing no..
you paint it how you want and to antique it.. spray it then use the color you want to antique with…
but if you’re talking white as a base coat and then painting it with different colors then sealing it.. yes..Yes, I was talking about putting a coat of white paint on first before the color paint then seal it when I am finished. Someone earlier in the thread said that the first coats of paint soak in a lot becase the gypsum will soak it up. So I want to know if I should start with a coat of white paint before I start to paint the color on.

😆 😆 😆 I didn’t scroll down enough while looking at the empress and saw that it was painted by “our head”! So do you hold the brush in your mouth?! haha (it’s been a VERY long day) 😆 😆 XD XD

Thank you for adding that! I would have been very (pardon my french) P!ssed off!!! if I went to paint and I had horrible coloring! LOL 🙄 <——I would be doing that literally!

Thanks! Any more advice will be greatly appreciated!
Hello there froum world! I need some help. I am about to embark on my very own “painting experience” 😀 But before I begin I need some help. I have Apple Barrel acrylic paints I bought from Wal-mart. Has anyone used these? I do not have a Michael’s craft store in my town and want to know if I am going to need a different brand. It will be my first PYO so I am very worried. :shrug:
If you know these will not work, please feel free to list your preferred paints. Also, any other items that may be useful for me to use. Thanks! I appreciate all the help any of you can provide! 😀 :hi: :bye:
