Paint on Metal in the China Paint Style
Did you ever think or imagine that you might paint on plated metal the way that china painters do? Well, you can. Use acrylic brush and some fine paints, practice your technique a little on scrap paper...and go for it! When the paint dries, top with Envirotex resin and let cure. Glue on a pin back....and there you go. You could also glue on paper scraps and ephemera and top with the resin, just paint it on. This plaque is PERFECT for that application, it's about 32x32mm, pewter ox plating, made from the old jewelry tooling. You'll find them in our Ebay store at http://www.stores.ebay.com/bsueboutiquesjewelrysupplies, along with lots of other examples that will work great!
when using the envirotex, exactly how do you go about pouring it on the jewelry? won't it make the pieces stick on the bottom?
