For this art piece, I had been experimenting with crackle and came up with this background. I am using an 8x10 wooden frame that I painted with Tropical Blue, added Elmer's glue for crackle, and then painted another coat of Tropical Blue on top.

Next, I found some white sheet glass that I had cut into flower petals with my wheeled nippers. You will want to do this with gloves and eye protection on! I also have two cut pieces of green vase glass for the leaves.

We are going to mix our resin first, then start creating our flower by layering the glass flower petals. We will add...

Discover the joy of creating a glass dragonfly art piece on a painted dot background! This fun and easy project is perfect for beginners. Learn to paint the dotted background and add a glass bead strand for the body, broken vase glass pieces for the wings, a bead for the head, and acrylic bubbles for that finishing touch!

Use a dotting tool to dip into Buttercream and make dots randomly across the canvas. Apply light pressure and twist slightly to form your dots. Clean the dotting tool between colors. Repeat the dotting technique with Seashell, Wild Wasabi, Winter Blue, and Spa Blue, allowing some overlap. Mix white with each color and dot around the original colors to create a...
