wyld_dandelyonThe new bass came with a lovely padded gig bag--except it is a dull brown, kind of khaki, which decidedly clashes with my bright purple/green/blue/pink aesthetic. I just knew it would bug me forever if I left it like that.
I had to make it better. But how? Easy--well, maybe not "easy" to do it in a way I'll enjoy it, but at least not complicated in principle: Fabric paint!
Even better, I have a bunch of that still from when I was semi-regularly painting t-shirts. (When you are a working single Mom, you don't get to do stuff like painting dragons on t-shirts very regularly.)
So, first I'm making it green, and then I'll brighten it up a little more with paints, and then I'll have to decide if I'm going to go all figural on it with paints, or leave it plain enough that I can add patches like I normally do on gig bags.
I plan to share more progress photos on my Patreon, as well as the finished photos, eventually.
This is a picture of the case with the very start of the painting. At the bottom, you can see the original color, which is WAY too reminiscent of my high-school uniform colors (which were brown, beige, and white). Painting around those lovely stitched letters was not easy!
