👍 [ROKR DIY & Creativity] Barque shipwreck

Text

I’m done with the Barque. I was inspired by Paul Bird and wanted to make my version of a well preserved shipwreck from the 1800s. I still like Paul’s better but I’m proud of this one. I looked at lots of pictures including the attached for colors. And I read which colors would be on ships from the 1800s and went from there. For the sails I just pained them with white wall paint to make it thicker and stiff & I stained them with tea bags.

Welcome to the community @StellSumaoang!!
Wow, that’s such an amazing idea! Using tea bags for the sails is super clever — it really gives them that aged look. I love how you made it your own while still being inspired by Paul’s version. You should definitely be proud, it looks fantastic!!! :star_struck:

Thank you!

I’m so glad other people see that because I’m biased so I’m glad I accomplished my goal.

Thank you! I actually tried coffee at first but it didn’t take how I wanted but the tea bags worked out perfectly.

Thanks yeah I’m glad I joined. I wanted to get the space shuttle but didn’t order yet because now I’m going on a trip to Nashville (for Dateline Live about the true crime show Dateline with all the hosts etc) and I’m trying to cut down on expenses. This is a cool community though. Also do you know if I can fix my @ name? So it says Stella instead of Stell?

You are a serious person. When I paint, I only consider whether the color is suitable. I rarely think about history or the colors of ships in the past. You can share more about this aspect. Many people may rarely think about

Warmly welcome! :heart:It’s amazing how you researched the colors and historical accuracy. You should be proud! What was the most challenging part of the process for you? It looks so great! :100:

The same. I also only trying to find a better color combination, but I don’t think too deeply about design. Maybe we should try to make something as special as a project of @StellSumaoang :sparkling_heart: Because this ship looks fantastic

That’s incredible! Love how you researched the 1800s ships and even experimented with paint and tea-stained sails — such a creative touch.
