My first attempt cresting
« on: March 12, 2010, 09:47:00 PM »
Here is my first go-round at the cresting bench.  As the process went on, I started getting a better feel for the right thicknes of the paint, too think wont spread right, too thin wont cover.  Just like Goldilocks, I had to try a few to find out what was "just right".   Lots of fun !

Beautiful.

Bears can attack people- although fewer people have been killed by bears than in all WWI and WWII combined.
