I recently saw on YouTube a video using fingernail polish for this type of project..
Poured into a container of water and the item was dipped..
I thought of you immediately.
Now, I can't fined the video,,but I'm sure we all know people that have many half emptied bottles of finger nail polish that would be will to donate them in the name of Art..
"new and slightly different." My new motto..
Well done as always,
Michael
Hi Michael,
Thank you! I've thought about raiding my wife's nail polish inventory more than a few times. (Chickened out every time so far, though.)
The dipping is a fun technique. I first learned about it a couple decades or so ago and used the technique to get a marble finish on tin containers (Altoid and Sucrets boxes and those International Coffee tin containers). The technique has found great popularity with artists, scrapbookers, and guitar builders. Lots of videos showing all kinds of variations on "the theme" on YouTube - and they all look fun to try!
