I have been looking to new surfaces to cover in paint. While on vacation in Oregon, I pulled into this great junk store to let the ladies poke around a bit. Turns out this store had some real cool stuff, including a bunch of old crab gear that is suitable for decoration. I found a crab pot buoy that was “near new” so I grabbed it for $5 bucks to haul home and paint it up. I sketched up a sort of  striped “abstract kelp” design and was ready to go when when wife chimed in with a great idea. “Hey, paint one of your sun designs on the end”. Brilliant! so I blocked in the blue background, added some bubbles and flamed the sun out. I might keep it and use for spearfishing, so I added 3 coats of west system marine epoxy to seal it up with a hard shell.
