Starlight Princess

Hi everyone! I think it's time for a few pictures and links from one of my new projects.

This is a 3x5' wooden plaque from from a craft store. I found them and picked up a few. They have backs like a canvas so they're easy to hang when you're done.

I was the lucky girl to get a rather large stash from Finnabair and Prima the other day, and I'd also ordered several of her new products from Retro Cafe Art Gallery, so I'll begin with a fun
little project here.

The new moulds were used to make the Princess, stars and flowers. I tried 3 different kinds of clays this week, so the stars are porcelain , flowers are paper clay, and I just got light weight stone clay today so I'll let you know about it.


I've never tried pouring resin, but I hear it works the best in these moulds according to several other people. I may give that a go next. 

I applied the tissue paper with matte get and added a few bubbles with at stencil and plaster paste.

When it was dry I added some of the new Liquid Acrylics, that I love, from Finnabair, and let them run and drip. A bit of white paint splatters and some waxes were the next step.


I glued the Princess and the flowers on after I painted and waxed them. The micro beads and glass glitter are used as filler.

The crown is a Mechanical Vintage Snowflake I cut apart, painted and waxed as well. It was glued on with 3D Matte Gel.

The waxes and a wash of umber paint created the gorgeous combination for the Princess. I was just lucky the way it turned out. The darker paint and wax went right where it should creating the shadows on her face and neck. 

I really love how that turned out.


So this is just a quick look at all the possibilities you could come up with using the new moulds, waxes and paints. So check them out at Kristin's shop -
Retro Cafe Art Gallery. And Finnabair has her shop as well in Ireland - Mixed Media Place. The links below are to both shops.

I hope you're inspired to play and have creative day.
