Simple green
« on: 06/22/14 10:11 UTC »
I had a request from a local bass club member for a simple, lighter green frog with a very thin yellow belly. When he saw the outcome he was plenty happy.



The thin yellow is a X2 chartreuse that's been re-melted with a chunk of a silver pearl and some raw plastic to help get rid of any sharp color. In the hand the color is a spittin image of home-made lemonade. The top color is a blend of a bright fluorescent green I made using X2 colors and some X2 chartreuse. Neither color had any glitter or hi lite to start with so I added some .040 black glitter along with a liberal shot each of gold and green hi lites. I added an ounce of raw plastic and a shot of stabilizer to cut the bright side of the color and to also help dilute the colors a bit.

The colors actually do better out of bright sunshine, but this picture shows how the colors jump. The frog is a 4" croaker. I'm making a couple of these for my box too.
