Joe I'm bringing you a reel today and hoping I can talk you into spraying it, maybe it'll be an interesting challenge.

This is the challenge  , take this reel and shoot these colors , for the Unicorn theme !
 This is going to take some thinking to make it look rite !

Yesterday I had a chance to mix up some white and red ,to make pink .  Shot a test to see what it looks like after baking .  I like it so far , and it is a start for many layers of powder to follow for a Unicorn theme .    Still trying to figure out how to lay the other colors ..

I have a 440 N to play with , they are easy to clean the paint off with gasoline .

   I shot the base coat of red first cooked it , than put the net bag on top and shot black .
      Yes I did this once before , but what I was looking  to do is make the lines more pronounced .

   This makes no sense  , because you would think the diamond pattern would fill in all black and leave red lines .   The polypropylene must hold a charge and collect the powder to form the lines .

    Something that I need to play with a little more .  Lay polypropylene string in a pattern and shoot .

Interesting start. There's no wrong answers. I'm excited to watch this advance.

    Shot the base pink , I was going to cook it , but I wanted to try adding more colors first .
     I was not sure if the colors were going to hold ,or bleed into one another .
 
     I should have taken some pictures before I took these pictures . The colors were very bold before I put on the dusting of Candy man for the subtle sparkle.  Now it goes into the oven...

  Here it is assembled .    It does not photograph well in fluorescent lights , it bounces the light off the sparkly  stuff.      You can pick it up anytime you are out this way...
