If
you missed last week's video where I started this project you can
find that video here.
This
week we finish up the Grand Piano, I am really excited with how this
project turned out. I do have to go back and fix my keyboard. You get
the benefit of learning from my on-camera mistake, be sure to use a
better glue to adhere your keyboard. I am sure either Yes paste
(which is what I had planned to use but the glue stick was sitting
there so I used it instead) or Tacky glue spread thin will work.
I
do like the dimension you get from the application of the Glossy
Accents, you can find out more about it here. I also use it in card
making and scrapbook projects. I am only sorry I am just learning
about it. I also have heard from a good authority that it is
compatible with baked polymer clay so you will be seeing it in some
future clay projects too.
To
paint my piano I used several coats of a gloss black spray paint. I
didn't count the number of coats I just kept going until it was
coated and starting to be shiny. Just take your time with the spray
paint and be careful. I am thinking about doing a video this summer
on how to spray paint your mini projects since I have seen several
videos with very bad advice on Youtube. If you are careful you won't
get any drips, it is only when you don't use proper techniques that
drips occur.
I
know there really should be a book rack thing for the music to rest
on and there should be pedals underneath the piano. I just simply ran
out of time to get it done this week. As it is I am going to be
uploading this video very late Saturday night so you all can see it
first thing Sunday morning.
I
will try to figure out a tutorial on how I go about re-sizing images
to use in mini projects. I know there are many ways to do this but I
have figured out what works for me.
Now
if you make a grand piano I want to see pictures of it! Show me what
you do with my projects.
Thank you for another great project, it came out really nice, Mrs. Doll must be very happy. I don't know how I missed this one. I'm going to have to spend some time going through to make sure that I didn't miss anything else. I would love to see how you would make a piano bench to go with your beautiful piano.
