need opinions

Post by Spookymufu » Mon Oct 26, 2009 1:26 pm

I made an enter sign, I wanted it to look like aged wood but it didnt come out as well as I'd liked. I'm not crazy about it so I wanted to get your opinions on it...

It still looks cool! But I know the feeling when you wanted something to look a certain way and it doesn't. I think anyone else who sees it will like it.

I like it as well...I think it looks perfect for Halloween.
They say that life's a carousel
Spinning fast, you've got to ride it well
The world is full of kings and queens
Who blind your eyes and steal your dreams
Its heaven and hell, oh well


I am Vengeance...I am the Night!

I swear to God...[Batman]SWEAR to Me!!

I used the wrong paint on it, thats what messed it up, I needed to use Acrylic but I used enamel and it ate the foam....I think I'll redo it and buy some correct paint...I have ADD when it comes to this stuff, I just have to be happy with it or it bugs me.....

I'm the same way -- even if everyone else in the universe says it looks great, I'm a perfectionist and am not satisfied with it until it gets my seal of approval!

what often happens with me is, I fix it it the way I like it then people say "I liked it better before"

Last night 'twas witching Hallowe'en
Dearest; an apple russet- brown
I pared, and thrice above my crown
Whirled the long skin; they watched in keen;
I flung it far; they laughed and cried me shame
Dearest, there lay the letter of your name!
