I curse everytime I visit one but oh well....it isn't about me.<br /> I like gold paint for picking out details in mouldings. You can "brighten up the gold by sprinkling some "Gold Pigment Powder" into your gold paint. This is a trick I learned from "Natasha" that brilliant Russian artist. Makes a big difference in the final appearance of plain old gold paint.<br />Hope you have a great day!<br />RayScott Burgesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00520384832998775407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3726627179512343604.post-86108402737859840352011-09-22T00:31:19.937-05:002011-09-22T00:31:19.937-05:00Well done John it looks great.

I've never heard of a store simply putting everything in one area by one suppier. Way too stressful for us detail consious types. Irene is right about the finger nails, you should just be able to pinch off the soft outer casing, then gently roll the wires together in your fingertips before putting back into the plug - it'll work great, you'll see.<br />Well done on another great job.Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16843072284822496590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3726627179512343604.post-57850652295342526772011-09-21T19:18:35.241-05:002011-09-21T19:18:35.241-05:00My pleasure John,

I also am going to take your advice and make a black marble surround. I really appreciate your advice.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10792529272804861727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3726627179512343604.post-15732234995735065692011-09-21T18:53:30.085-05:002011-09-21T18:53:30.085-05:00I KNOW, right?

I found a few that dealth with dollhouse electrical and they were quite well done. I just found this one which might be of use "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVoI63pOULE".<br />I used gold pain on the frieze in my Dinning Room. I think it looks great as long as the piece isn't too big. As soon as the piece is too large the brush strokes show and ruin the effect.<br />I cut all my cornices using a razor saw and a hobby mitter box. After they are up a little acrylic gesso fills the joints well before painting!<br />Keep up the great work. It's looking great!<br />GiacGiachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04823654482564548862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3726627179512343604.post-14825435771230701052011-09-21T18:47:31.810-05:002011-09-21T18:47:31.810-05:00Fingernails are good for stripping the casing of t...Fingernails are good for stripping the casing of the wires. <br /><br />I'm afraid I find lighting an exercise in bad language - reluctant pins, bent pins, flying pins - you have been warned - lolIrenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05182285759059917550noreply@blogger.com
