Did some new powder painting and today got the eyes on them, besides the eyed ones I also painted the little football heads too

Good looking jigs.  I do like those hooks.  The point does not last forever, but if you stick a fish, it is usually stuck.

Thanks SJ - Gotta play more with the mica powder as I found I mixed it wrong!!!  Gotta just use the white pearl or white with the clear and mica then use a transparent type tapped over it.  I've got Columbia coatings Translucent Candy Teal and Raspberry and Pro-Tec's copperhead.  Any others I'll have to lean the colors out with clear, except I think I'll run out of jars!!!LOL

Man...everyone is into painting heads right now it seems. These are more examples of great art work. I love that pink/purple over white.

Thanks ctom - I've done 2 tones before but I mainly painted to try the mica powder and found out I mixed it wrong!!LOL  but I didn't use much so not a problem.
