A pin is created and colored with 3D Crystal Lacquer Fine Point Pens.  The website has many sets to choose from, or you can create your own colors by using an empty pen, and adding a mix of 3D Crystal Lacquer and Terri Sproul Mixers blended to form the color you want.

Basically, this is a piece of Friendly Plastic, heated, and stamped glossy cardstock shape pressed in.

Color the stamped image like coloring book with lacquer pens.  Let dry.  Cover whole piece with Clear 3D Crystal Lacquer and let dry.

A hole was drilled at top and wire added, then rhinestone adhered using clear lacquer.  Pin back adhered on back with jewelry glue.

Turning a plastic tile into a prism of glass looking goodness!!  Almost like Dicrohic glass.

3D Crystal Lacquer is the key to creating fast, easy, marbelized accents.  Use the colored 3D Crystal Lacquer, or create your own using Terri Sproul Mixers.

Turn the tile over and on the back side squeeze lines of colored lacquer you want to use.  If you want to create your own color, mix it up and put into an empty applicator bottle.

Once you have the lines of color, use a toothpick, or I used an end of a paintbrush to pull the color straight down from top to bottom, adding a swirl motion as I went.  Play around and see what patterns you come up with! 

(Semi-Transparent so background colors of card, add and further enrich tile colors.)

If you don't like what the result is, just wipe off lacquer and start over.

Lastly, I added some of the Terri Sproul Mixers fine glitter lightly on the back to enhance the shimmery effect.

Use clear 3D Crystal Lacquer to adhere to the card.

From the Tomb of Nefertiti

Coming in a couple weeks!!!!  See all the magical mystical fairy art created with Sakura Products!!!

Many artifacts of Nefertiti were missing because Nefertiti and her husband worshipped the sun.  This was a change from the previous religion and the people destroyed her tomb!

I was lucky to find this artifact!!!  Don't I wish???  This milk can is my homage to Nefertiti.  While she didn't follow the masses, she was a great ruler, fair and kind. 

This can is representative of the way Egyptians bury their treasures with them to take to the next life.

3D Crystal Lacquer, Colored and Clear

To create this milk can, start with various colors of 3D Crystal Lacquer, or mix your own.  The idea is to give the can the look of worn, "patina" metal.  Greens, turquoise, and Copper work brilliantly.

Start with green.  Mix color or use a 3D Crystal Lacquer color and pour into a palette cup.  Use a sponge and sparingly pick up a little color and pounce on surface of milk can.  Cover most of the can in green.  IF YOU PUT TOO MUCH LACQUER ON SPONGE, YOU WON'T GET THE TEXTURE.  You can always add more color.  Let dry. 

Add a little copper, let dry.  Add turquoise, let dry.  Add copper on top.  If you accidently add too much copper, add more turquoise, and so on.  Get a nice blended look of patina metal.

The photo doesn't show the "shiny" but it is cool!!!  Collaged are museum bought images for collage, charms, a scarab for the top of the can, and ribbon/fiber.

Use CLEAR 3D Crystal Lacquer to collage images and add the charms and scarab.  A foam brush works well to collage without leaving brush marks.    For charms and scarab, add a puddle of lacquer and place item into it, pressing slightly.  Add more lacquer around edges if needed to secure in place.

As always there is a coupon - Sakura05 - 20% off.

Ok, off to empty the sand out of my shoes...my trip to Egypt was dusty!
