So, this weekend (I'm counting Friday night, here) I experimented with something new... well, new to me. Ice Enamels! I really do like them! I have turquoise, a sort-of chartreuse green, and a clear/opalescent set of colors.
This first one is a steel washer I layered with turquoise, then added some small pieces of the chartreuse color and a teeeeeeensie bit of the opalescent (no, sorry, don't remember to precise names... I'll add 'em later) I really like how this turned out. And I haven't done anything else to it, no resin topping or anything. Cool, no?
This one... well, it didn't work as well. I don't know if I got too excited, or just straight up too messy with my work, but it blotted in a few places on the wings and slid off around the dragonfly where it's attached to the shell casing. Still, I think I may be able to do some clean up if I take my time with it. More experimentation is in order. Yes.
I'll keep you updated as I make further attempts.
What new things did YOU try this weekend, hm?
Wow! I never even heard of ice enamels! I see possibilities! Potential! I do not think that the dragonfly is half bad. With some clean up he could look fabulous! I want to hear more!
