It is VERY easy to go wonky and end up with slanted bricks!

It is so massive an area, and I hand blend my colors, that when I run out of a particular shade I have to blend more which creates variations (however slight). So I do each section in smaller parts to make sure that each tone from each batch is present on all sections of the structure. It is time consuming and I REALLY have to pay attention to my work as I go, but I don't want to end up having one side darker than the other side or the top portion lighter than the bottom. And talk about hand cramps! Stippling for long periods of time can do a number on your poor digits! But I love it anyway. I can't wait to see pics of your bricks! I am sure it's going to be fabulous!Bell and Crow Miniatureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16167169436072011909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034005854072169179.post-11988121838333025772012-08-12T17:27:06.910-07:002012-08-12T17:27:06.910-07:00Looks wonderful!
