Lets see some limb art!
« on: February 06, 2015, 11:30:03 am »
Folks, I'm getting ready to put some paint on some limbs and need a little inspiration.  Show me some of your limb art please!

It would be shameful stretch of the truth to call it art, but here is a Sudbury style(sort of) that I painted up quite a few years ago.  Josh

Ain't painted one yet, but when I do, I plan to use some of the drawings you see on pictures of tepees--Warriors, horses, deer--that sort of thing.  Kind of like cave paintings.

Great limbs!  Wanna see more!!!

Great idea for a thread. Adams89, I would like to see more of that pretty bow.
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

I was going to paint my first soon!  What's a good finish, preferably natural, to put over the paint?

Certainly some nice work out there folks.  Jensen, I'm a crummy artist but a finish that protects my feeble work is shellac - which you can buy from Carson at Echo Archery.  I really like the way it looks and it has been used as a work preservative for at least 3000 years.
