The Next Big Thing

Currently I am working on an Elk Antler Hall Tree.
Following are photos showing the early stages of the project.

 Begin with a painting, in this case an elk bugling.

 Transfer the image onto crisply ironed denim and paint with textile paints.

 The denim painting should be as detailed as the original.

Bead over the painting. As you can see the bead color doesn't exactly match the color of the textile paint.  Also, because the beads are transparent the paint alters the color of the beads.   

Cody Old West Show

June 5-7 the crew was down in Forth Worth for Brian La Belle's Cody Old West Show. 

The event was held at the Roy Rogers Convention Center. 

Here are some pics of setting up for the show.

 Set up was delayed because the booth wall had the wrong color paper on the wall..
 "Things happen" but it best to remain calm.

 Mike made the executive decision to set up the big stuff to draw interest to the booth.

In addition to having the wall papered in the wrong color we forgot to bring the table covers.   Both problems were solved, but doing so ate some of our set up time.
