    Incredible Solar so glad I checked in ! I love it, what a neat idea to add the fresh shed. Now it has sentimental value as well as artistic. I'll keep an eye out for the finish.

    Lets see how it comes out.
    Thanks. I'm trying to figure this out as I go. Hopefully it comes out good

    I really don't know what I'll do next. I have some ideas. But I've never worked with shed in art before. Won't know how it comes out until I test it. But I don't really know how I can test it.

    What are your ideas? I have some art experience I might be able to help. What is your goal for the final look? So far you look like you're off to a great start.

    My goal is to make it have a metallic back ground. With a abstract version of the snake. I don't really like to do realistic since to me photography is my passion in that. But I like the forms of animals with a mixture of rustic realistic in it. As soon as my copper leafs come on I'm sure it will get more and more better. But the scales I want them to be detailed and glossy looking just like my snakes are. So I was going to put some color on them but I don't want them to wash away. So I'm trying to figure out how to do that. I wondering if I should put a clear coat of glue on it and then paint it and then put the finishing glue or not.

    I wouldn't use glue, I'd use two part resin. Copper leaf would be awesome. The resin is high shine and crystal clear.

    Here is some resin and watercolor on wood that I've done:

    This was done with a finish glue. I thought it came out nice.

    That's got a much nicer finish than your average glues. I'd say use it! :)

    It's not a cheap glue for sure
