Great idea with the silicone!!!! ♥️
I’m working on a wooden mermaid cut out and stumped about her tail. My abalone shells look too busy and detract from the main focal point - her as a whole! I might give this a go! Thank you for sharing! I just subscribed 😁💃‼️
✌️💜😊

[@dcfluidacrylics6633]

Thank you! Your wooden mermaid sounds like a nice idea. Have fun if you decide to give this a try! Thanks for subscribing - welcome! 😊💕🌸

I just love the different techniques and i love the result. Scales came out perfect. And the movement of the fins. So lifelike😊

What acrylic paint are you using in those tubes? Can I find them at hobby lobby or any store or Amazon?

[@dcfluidacrylics6633]

I'm using Artist's Loft paints - there are links to all the products on Amazon in the description box but you can also buy those paints at Michaels.

[@user-uk1sz9qv6h]

What kind of plastic are you using to swipe?

[@dcfluidacrylics6633]

I'm just using the plastic that the canvas comes packaged in. I cut it to the size that I want to work with.
