Metallic Blue is the new black! Inka Gold Cobalt Blue is the best metallic blue I’ve seen and it worked beautifully on the different surfaces of this piece. I covered the Victorian Terrarium, the brass horse and the skull charm with it. Smooth as silk. It goes on moist and dries quickly in the air. I didn’t see Gale’s Spooky Terrariums until after I’d made this piece but I think either terrarium works well as a Halloween piece.
What will you be making for Halloween?
METHOD
- Create a small collage to fit within the frame of the terrarium.
- Spray paint the wood of the eco fiber board, then cover with Inka Gold Cobalt Blue. Inka Gold will work without the base of spray paint too.
- Use a cotton tip to get the Inca Gold into small spaces. Otherwise, use your fingers. This is a non toxic pigment cream and it washes off the hands easily.
- Cover the charms of your choice with Inka Gold Cobalt Blue.
- You can buff the Inka Gold with a paper towel for a higher sheen.
- Glue on the collage and glue the terrarium together.
- Glue on the charms and add rhinestones.
- If wanted, glue on a piece of wire to make this into a hanging piece.
ITEMS USED
So cool T! I agree that both the victorian and the spooky terrarium work wonderfully as halloween pieces. Your trademark horse looks great dancing on the skull!
