Pimp my camera

I decided to paint Courtney's camera.

I started by 'sanding' the body back with acetone, and then i did a quick sketch in pencil before going over in permanent marker.

Next I started painting. I used nail polish - even though the brushes are small, it was really quite difficult.

I need to buy paint pens.

I tried shading in the rose petals but it just didn't mix well, so I had to layer a few times which caused the paint to crack. It did show the shadow underneath though so it wasn't all bad.

Then I thought i'd best put something on the back of the camera -

Before putting on the top clear coat - which was a disaster !!! It melted the permanent marker !!! So I had to redo some spots and add a few more here and there. All up I spent a few hours attempting to get this right lol.

Here's some fun shots of the process -

 All in all it looks good now and Courtney's pleased with it [or so she very kindly says lol]

I'm going to invest in some paint pens and try again soon with a new camera and a new design.
