FAB man, Id usually say a lighter colour aswell but thought if the silver didnt work then maybe a harsher colour was needed.
Hi Amanda Tried the black and that works fine but it just wont take the orange it just carries on soaking it in Im thinking of covering the oais with orange ribbon and pining it in a nice neat line wot do you think

Would be a good idea. Can you get orange pins? They could blend in then

Hi Amanda tried the silver it went brownish, tried the black that covers the oasis really really well but the orange on top didnt work either so in the end I had to pin salal leaves onto the design (had no laurel) and gave a slight coat of orange will do another 2 tomorrow and that seems to be doing it thanks for all your help thou

yeah done it

Thank god it nearly done Ive Just got to add 6 gerbs tomorrow morning ended up having to pin salal leaves onto oasis frame and then spraying it with 4 layers of orange paint then pinned orange ribbon around the sides. Then spayed the designer board black edged the frame with black ribbon then glued the orange khanda sign onto the sprayed black designer board. Have taken pics but they are too big to load will have to sort that then will put it in the gallery for your opinions just hope customer likes it
