Ploon's weblog : April 2005

30 April 2005: Pinstriped jerrycan and BMX Found some more stuff to pinstripe in the back of the van. A jerrycan that fits inside my sparewheel and some details on my BMX bike. www.ploon.nl/weblog/dsc00046.jpg www.ploon.nl/weblog/dsc00047.jpg  28 April 2005: multi colored panel after i finished pinstriping them clogs last night (see below), i got all my new tins of paint open so i could add a bit of color to the tops of the tins (makes it so much easier to tell them apart). whilst i had them open, i figured i'd used the bit of paint that was already on my brush, so i started doodling on a panel. in the end i like the design, but not the color combo. www.pinheadlounge.com/portfolios/bbs_DSC00045.JPG  27 April 2005: Pinstriped clogs! last night, whilst looking in the attick and shed for something i could use as a paintbox, if found an old pair of clogs. gave them a quick black coat with a spraycan, so i can add some pinstriping to them. i just finished clog number 1. not bad considering it's all done freehand. now the big question is, do i do the other one so it matches this one or something totally different ?? www.ploon.nl/weblog/klomp1.1.jpg www.ploon.nl/weblog/klomp1.2.jpg www.ploon.nl/weblog/klomp1.3.jpg www.ploon.nl/weblog/klomp1.4.jpg  24 April 2005: Pinstriped cooler lid My first pinstripe project with 1-shot paint, the lid of my new vintage cooler. www.ploon.nl/weblog/dsc00040.jpg  22 April 2005: Bought some one-shot Cruised over to Lucjy Lenn's in Rotterdam to buy some One-Shot paint for my pinstriping.
