I add a little extra gum arabic liquid to the mix and water to thin. You can get a jar from Jerry's Artarama for about $11.00. It's an affordable alternative to shell gold.<br /><br />Find it here: bit.ly/1fz7pfE <br />Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10415844547907252270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30760818.post-44349437370316766512014-02-06T13:24:23.696-05:002014-02-06T13:24:23.696-05:00This is beautiful!!

Or did you go back and add white to the berries after laying down a crimson base?<br /><br />And is the gold a paint, or gold leaf? The piece is absolutely stunning!!Gabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18270205843369591994noreply@blogger.com
