? How to do a marbled crown dip?
« on: August 10, 2009, 04:49:00 PM »
I have seen a few arrows done this way and was wondering if you could tell me how to do it.
Also, if you have any pics of marbled arrows, lets see them.

thanks,
sammy

You can also roll it on a throw away bath towel that has a opposite color of your crown color sprayed on it. Flint

Seems like not too long ago, there was someone that had a DVD out about how to do it, but I can't remember who?

Say you have an arrow that is tipped in a white crown, then take a bucket of water, and with some thinned paint make thin swirls on top of the water you can use two colors also say red and black for an exsample now with the paint floating on top of the water in swirls of two colors take your arrow and dip thru the swirls
slowly spinning the arrow thru the piant and same comming back out, once you get the hang of it is really simple, have fun the speed of the spinning on the arrow will give various patterns.

A gentleman near me used to make them for Joe Stark at Lone Wolf archery,  before he retired and closed up.  If I remember right he said he dipped them and then took a terie-cloth hand towel and lightly grabbed the arrow.  Made a real cool looking marble effect.

Any pics?  I don't have any idea what it would look like.

Sounds pretty cool though!

you talking about holding the arrow perfectly vertical 90 degrees and swirling it in a bucket while spinning it?  I also would love to see some pics of the finished arrow.

ok, I just tried the "spray-paint-on-top-of-water" method on some cedars.  The result was a neat-looking marbled pattern, but there were hundreds of air bubbles trapped within the paint.     :scared:  

Do you guys know if there is a certain trick or technique that will eliminate the air bubbles?

The post I read said to use drops of oil based paint on top of the water.  I don't know if that would help or not.  I may be showing my stupidity here but I wonder if distilled water would help with the air bubbles?  I have no idea I don't study water I just drink it.
