I've been unable to fish much lately due to another torn rotator cuff that I will have surgery on Thursday so I've been working on my painting techniques. Colors on these are amazing and my camera skills don't due these justice. Been spending a lot of time using a file to make sure the heads are smooth and the area around the eyes are thinner so paints flow out of the eyes.Attachment 407798Attachment 407799Attachment 407800Attachment 407801Attachment 407802
Those look natural. Almost reptilian looking. They look awesome
Wow, you really have that crinkle painting technique figured out! Those look great. Very cool looking.
I'm on a mission to have the largest collection of crinkle painted jigs. Currently have three clear plastic shoe boxes full and started another. Probably 30-40 lbs. of them now. Need to order more lead soon.
Certainly good looking jigs. Went thru the rotator cuff thing in March. Rehab gal was harder on me than cuff was. LOL All is well now, or as close as it could be at 70.
Glad the shoulder is coming along Grumpy. Rehab is always tough.Quote:

These reptilian jig heads have beguiled you. Cast a spell over you. They are reproducing themselves via trickery. Maybe it was something manageable at first, but 40 pounds worth is no longer acceptable. I am afraid you will have to begin gifting them in order to clear the way for more.
Time to do another video.
Those jig heads look great
I hope to do videos again in a few weeks and I am hooked on painting them. It seems every time I make a batch and take it out of the oven I find myself saying "WOW". Then I have to paint more.
you really have that technique figured out and looking good!

I sent pictures of some of my jigs yesterday to the GM of Component Systems, Inc. He was so impressed with them that he forwarded the pics to some other top brass and media people. They want to put my work on their social media platforms with credit and direction to me if I'm okay with it. Do-It wants to post them on their social channel as well. Looks like I need to start a social account now. Really excited about this.
Congrats that is awesome newsQuote:

I think he had some troubles recently, can't remember what it was, but remember him posting on something saying he was out of action!Quote:

Wishing you a speedy recovery. Glad you can work on jigs during the healing. :cheers2
I tore my rotator in march. I made a pulley and rope system to work my shoulder at home. After tying or painting a while I would get up stretch and and then work my shoulder for a bit, it did help I think. Attachment 409442
I hope you can do your art still. I am very impressed with the ones you helped show me how to make.Quote:

I don't have any plans for them, just keep adding to it. I just ordered some new powder paint colors and when they get here will try some new color combinations. Really like how the football heads and poison tails have been turning out so I keep painting those.
