Embellishments

Next embellishment group meeting April 25 at 7pm
Chris Lawrence

Trying to come up with ideas for the next meeting. Is there any interest in an airbrush workshop? I don't have enough airbrushes but the starting price for them on Amazon is not that much. I could give the links for the 2 i have and a entry level one. I can supply paint to play with as long as its a gravity feed one and not a siphon one. If someone wants to do a secondary workshop on applying dyes for anyone not interested in airbrushing. Another idea is the colab swap if anyone wants to bring in a turning that fits inside a 6x6x6 inch box. Depending on how many participants we have we can figure out how to swap. Possible put them all on a table and everyone pull a number. Then in order everyone picks one that is not the one they brought. If anyone has ideas or comments post them here.

If anyone wants to do the workshop on airbrushing you will need to buy a gravity feed dual action airbrush. below are links to the ones i have and an inexpensive one that should work. The inexpensive one i have not tested.


Inexpensive. I have not tested this one but it has ok reviews. https://www.amazon.com/GotHobby-0-3mm-Gravity-Dual-Action-Airbrush/dp/B005H3FMBW/ref=sr_1_4?crid=420FOFK8J3DG&keywords=airbrush+kit&nav_sdd=aps&qid=1681701534&refinements=p_36%3A2638326011&rnid=2638325011&s=arts-crafts&sprefix=airbrush&sr=1-4


mid range. I have this on and it works well https://www.amazon.com/Master-Airbrush-Multi-Purpose-Dual-Action-Professional/dp/B002KJDXHQ/ref=sr_1_5?crid=8YAB8DH534YM&keywords=airbrush&qid=1681701211&sprefix=airbrush%2Caps%2C103&sr=8-5


High end. I just got this one and it is equivalent to the real expensive with no bells and whistles https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07WCCTBK1?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details


You will also need an air hose this is the one i bought https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078T94D4F?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 The 1/4 inch male air fitting can be bought at harbor freight for a couple bucks.


If someone else has experience with dyes and wants to bring them in to do a workshop for those not interested in airbrushing that would be great. If not i will bring in some of my other tools to play with.

What kind of compressor do you need for these

They make ones specific for airbrushes but you can use a regular one to. You just need to have a moisture trap in the line. I forgot to add a link into my list. Airbrushes do not come with the 1/8 inch airlines so you will need to buy one as well they run around $10 depending on brand. Here is the one i bought it comes with an adapter to attach a 1/4 inch air fitting to. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078T94D4F?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 You can buy the 1/4 inch male quick disconnect air fittings from harbor freight for a few bucks.
