I'm Learning Ornaments
« on: October 08, 2010, 03:52:02 pm »
I have been learning coral draw along with Steve's help.
These are cut from 1/8 baltic birch and dyed with food coloring.
I am ready for every grandma in ND to want her grand kid's names on her tree  ;D

Nice job Judy, I like the food coloring idea, I hate painting, I am just starting to cut ornaments myself.

I think you can put that in the past tense, Judy.  You've learned ornaments!

Did you find any warping when you dyed them?  And how does the food coloring dye work anyway?  Do you mix it with water (my assumption) or do you do something else?

Thanks guys :D
Julie, Boxmaker..I mixed two of those little cheapie bottles of food coloring with about 1/2 cup of water.  No warping.
I just put the water in sealed containers and let them soak just turned them over once in a ehile since the wood floats.  couple hours in the water then pick them out with a toothpick and press the water out with paper towel, dry over night.

If anyone wants a few names just let me know and I will email it, if that is ok with Steve?
