THE CLUBHOUSE

I was planning to go, but had to cancel at the last minute. Everybody have fun and take lots of pictures to share with the rest of us!

Started a sculpture for next year's Wonderfest...

I've never used colored pencil on wood, but I have done a lot of colored pencil drawings. You have to be careful with clearcoats on top of them - the pencils are oil- or wax-based and the solvents in some clearcoats will melt them. Anything water-based should be OK. I use Krylon Fine Art Fixative or...

I really wanted to go this year, but...I think I'm going to have to skip it. Maybe next year.

Another great singer gone. Badmotorfinger and Superunknown were part of the essential soundtrack of my adolescence. I was stoked when Soundgarden reunited but never got a chance to see them.

Hi, I have PB and am fed up with the ad's as well I'll try DeviantArt and could you tell me what GIMP stands for ? I haven't a smart phone so I use my PC for all my internet work. Karl I think it stand for "GNU Image Manipulation Program." But don't ask me what GNU stands for... :shock: I...

I've used it before, but didn't like the interface. Probably just me. My previous editing program got me used to doing things one way, and that made things not very intuitive for me in GIMP. I did find it very useful for making animated gifs though. It's not just you, GIMP's a pain to figure out. I...

I've given up on PB too. I edit photos on paint.net or GIMP (both free to download, GIMP has more functions but paint.net is quicker and easier). I use DeviantArt as my photo host.

Thanks guys. Sounds like maybe if I use 25 percent water, 25 percent future, and 50 percent Windshield Washer fluid, I might be on to something. Then I could use a few drops of that in my craft paints and see what happens. Do you think the Future adds some gloss, to the paint, or what? I never did ...

I saw three great shows this week in Music City - legendary guitarist Wayne Moss, singer-songwriter Steve Earle, and the Queen of Rock'n'Roll, Wanda Jackson. I guess most people know Earle and Jackson, but Moss is one of those guys mainly known to other musicians. He was the founder of country virtu...

And now Leon Russell. God is assembling a hell of a band this year...

Thanks John, much appreciated!

I bought no kits whatsoever -just some sculpting supplies. One of these days I'll come to Wonderfest when I'm not broke!

Having fun so far! I've seen several excellent demos, bought a bunch of sculpting supplies, and been overwhelmed by the quantity and quality of model kits for sale in the dealer's rooms and on display in the model contest.

See y'all tomorrow!

I'm vaguely embarrassed to admit this, but I'm pretty excited to see Heart, Joan Jett, and Cheap Trick in a few months. I actually saw Cheap Trick at my very first concert- they opened for STP. I was 16 and had no idea who they were; I hadn't discovered classic rock yet. I had tickets to see the leg...

I'm about to start on my first dino sculpture, so I'm especially excited about your and Shane's demos!

Once again I have failed to get anything done for the model contest. Oh well, it'll still be fun! I'm looking forward to the demos.

Sorry for digging up an old thread, but this is the first I'd heard of this. I'm confused. I have season 20 on DVD...are they just not going to release 18, 19, and 21+? Ugh.

The girl and I have been listening to Haggard records all day in his honor. She and her dad had tickets to see him in a few weeks...

He was one of the greats. Not too many of the Golden Age country stars are left - it's pretty much down to Willie and Loretta now as far as I can see.
