Don't mention it. I sent a link to this thread to a friend and he's blown away too!! Nice work!!Thank you.
now that is over the top !!!Another very pretty in real life one. Pity photos don't quite do it justice. More lava rock like this time.
That one is almost accidental. I was trying to get the purples to stick by using various colours on the base coat. I used black for the highlight and it was just dreadful so I wiped it. The black left a stain on the yupo (where you see the purple) and I tried to follow the stain with the amethyst and then when I used the Reds it picked up some tinges of the black as well. I don't like using the blending solution because I like the colours to have some depth.
These seem to just happen and I jokingly tell my hubby that I don't think I could replicate them on purpose. You will see what I mean when you start playing with them.
This is another one done with the watermelon colour with touches of amethyst as the highlight and while it's pretty in your face bright it does not match any of my BB's. It started off with a lovely contrast but I lost the purple again so it left a subtle shadow of the design (a bit murky)
Another way to practice is......I had some clear book covering film that I just put over some white card. You can just wipe that clean as well.
Is great fun and for someone like me with few actual skills it's a neat way of being creative.
I am still discovering lots of different ways of doing things and the effects you can get with different materials.
Such beautiful work, Krisma. I've been admiring these since you began posting them and I can tell you're having great fun with this.
I have a mod now that I think might lend itself well to something like this. I got an eVic AIO and it comes with the stickers to customize the front and back panels. I'm thinking I could use the Yupo paper and double sided tape to make my own stickers to place on the AIO. Does this sound feasible to you? I'd have to mount them before final cure as there's a slight curve to the mod. There's also a slight recessed area where the stickers are placed so I think that would help give it a more polished look.
I'm really excited about this media and find myself checking out all sorts of things for possible application. Thanks for sharing your creativity.
I know what you mean about the edges. My brother works with Envirotex. He's an artist and sometimes paints on seashells (sand dollars) and coats them with it. They come out like glass with perfect edges.

I'm glad to hear that you think it might work and I can't wait to see what you come up with when you get yours. Oh lord, I'm off to Hobby Lobby tomorrow.
