Having fun with the powder and painting just about anything i can. Heads, blades and even figured out how to paint hematite beads. :D Thought i'd show off a few of the heads and will post others as i go.

Orange pepper / Chart - just 2 colors don't think i have put together before.

Rest are using clear mixes or 'candied' colors.

Last one has 3 seperate candy mixed colors.... and i tapped too much on, you can see where it tried to slide when i cured them. The base color is a candy pearl (6-clear : 1-pearl) with candy chart and candy red so the iridescent pearl really shows through. Can't tell on the picture that well but it looks really cool in hand.

Forgot to show some of the finished jigs - these are all shrooms.

Chart/Orange is BRIGHT and the Watermelon/Gold turned out really nice. The black/red (didn't show the painted head above) is kind of over blinged with all the flash, but i think it will work. :)

Very nice, you got the split shot jigs down pat. I've played with some shot jigs lately and clam shot is my favorite so far.

...clam shot is my favorite...

The Water Gremlin round shot are what i am using, not the removeable kind. Got to look at them in the bags before you buy them, some have alot of flash that can be a (xtra) pain to clean up. I also flie down the inside of the shot, they have a 'V' shape on the inside to help them hold to fishing line. They shape around the hook shank easier if they are flat on the inside. ;)
