More Ornaments

Here are a bunch more ornaments made since the ones on the previous page. Unfortunately, I haven't figured out how to get good flash pictures from my new digital camera. The colors (red is the worst) are very oversaturated with too much contrast so you don't see any shading in the darker areas. And I didn't have time to set up a fancy photo shoot, so they're just on the floor with the hideous carpet and wallpaper. Most of these actually look a lot cooler than the others, but the photo doesn't show it. Several of the ornaments that are a more uniform color were made with Luna Lights paint.

The two ornaments in the upper right were made using Luna Lights paint. They needed a second coat of paint inside, and I added some pigment powders to them, but they didn't show up as well as I hoped.

The blue one center left and the small pink one near the middle were also made with Luna Lights paints.

The large ornament on the right was made with the Fuchsia Luna Lights paint, adding pigment powders to the paint right away. This one is really beautiful; wish I had a better picture.

The ornaments on the upper row are very interesting. I mixed various greenish powders and added some of the darker gold, red, orange, and brownish powders for contrast. The unusual colors look really fantastic together.

The copper one in the lower right was made with Luna Lights only, no powders. It looks really cool, almost as if the ornament itself was made of copper.

Here are some of the green ones from another photo that shows the colors a little better. The two top green ones and the teal one were made using Luna Lights as the base. The top center green one has no powders in it (if I remember correctly).

The red and gold ornaments. The photo is disappointing because you can't see the subtle variations in the red ornaments. I used Luna Lights paint for a couple of the gold ones. However, I started with the yellow and mixed in a little gold paint. Then the rest of the colors that you can't see very well come from the polished pigment powders.

These heart-shaped ornaments were something of a challenge to get them completely covered with paint. I used the Luna Lights new red paint, but it leans very heavily towards pinkish, so I ended up using a lot of the red and red-orange powders in them; they probably wouldn't have looked much different if I hadn't started with the paint. But they still look great in real life.
