Dart board funeral tribute

[salix]

Hi all, can anyone give me some tips on a dartboard tribute I have a good idea about it but it always helps to get some advice of others. Thanks all. This is my new challenge for next Tuesday. My challenge which was collected today was a Playboy logo and a five pointed star none of which I have ever done before. I was quite pleased with the way they turned out and so was the customer thankfully Well any help would be appreciated

Just out of interest, how much did you charge?

Wow that looks great. We have charged £100 but I think on reflection it should have been a little bit more as I have decided to also use silver wire for the numbers and the wire rings on the dartboard as I googled a regular board how much did you charge for yours?

[elouise]

I charged £150 for mine.

I thought about making the numbers in the wire, i tried bending some into numbers and you couldn't see it very well against the flowers, so i sprayed some pipe cleaners gold

As I thought my boss has undercharged Wait till I tell her. The one you did was that the size of a traditional dartboard as thats the size that she has ordered. Yes I could tell that you had made them from pipe cleaners but didnt know you had sprayed them gold. I have some silver pipe cleaners and some thicker silver wire so I will give it a practice run in work tomorrow (monday) thanks for your tips and help - carol

It was probably about the same size but it might have been a little bigger but only by an inch.

It needs to be quite big because when you get to the smallest triangles near the middle, it gets quite fiddley.

Hi well I started it today sprayed the xants black, ribbon edged it put the white green and red in. I will have to put the black in in the morning I have made all the numer from thick silver wire. I'm gonna wire two darts on it though to make it look even better (I hope) if not I will take them off. We'll see tomoz. Forgot to say I used a size 18 inch posy pad is that what you used? But to be totally honest I will be glad to see the back of it cos your so right about it being fiddley, anyway thanks for all your help. P.s. God the measuring out for the sections was really difficult but got there in the end

I cut mine out but it was probably about 18 inches.

I also put darts on mine, they are in the photo but its hard to see them

Stelorac,

Will you put a picture in the gallary when it's done? I'm dying to see how it compares to Elouise's (which was excellent).

Thanks
