Throwback Thursday: lure

On By CarynIn Craft

In March of 2017 I hand carved and painted a fishing lure for my Dad.

I did coat the lure in a water proof gloss finish, but didn’t take a picture at the time. Below is a picture of the lure in 2026.

Throwback Thursday: air brush

On By CarynIn art

In February 2017 I was experimenting with my new air brush. I tried a design out on paper, then did it on a plank of wood.

For the words I used a stencil, then airbrushed in shadows.

This was a gift for a friend. I did enjoy the airbrush, but set up and clean up is an involved process, so I don’t use it often.
