Term 4 Week 4

On Thursday last week, I finally began hand-painting my bottom graphic. Unfortunately the finish (or more importantly edges) didn't turn out that good, but it does give the 'hand-painted' view that only a shittly painted board can express. I only got one (of the seven) strips finished (Red) on the Thursday. I used the colour 'Havoc' which we had bought from Resene previously. On Friday Kenji, Sam & I went in after school and i finished 2 more strips (Orange - 'West Side' & Yellow - 'Broom'). The yellow didn't turn out that well, as the base black still showed through the paint. ON Monday I did all the remaining strips (Green - 'Japanese Laurel', Blue - 'Endeavour', Indigo - a mixture (made by Sam) of 'Wet & Wild' and Christalle & Violet - Christalle). I then went over all the colours again (and Yellow several times!). Today i'm blogging, posting new photos - basically doing the usual + attempting to complete my checklist. Tomorrow I'm lacquering my board, so it'll go real hard and glossy. Next week (IF there's a next week) I'll be touching up my board.
