Materials and Tools:
clear glass bowl
acrylic paint and small paintbrush
gold metal leaf and sizing
flat, narrow artist brush
glass jewels — flat floral marbles, old jewelry stones in red ( to represent rubies) and green (to represent emeralds)
metallic gold outliner paint - not oven bake kind
Steps:
1. Wash and dry bowl well.
2. Use a very small brush to paint one side of each of the glass jewels. We used blue paint for this project.
3. Adhere the glass jewels to the bowl with instant squeeze adhesive, spacing evenly around the outside of the bowl.
4. Use a flat narrow artist brush to add sizing to inner, top of and outer lip edge of bowl. Let the brush decide the size of the area.
