Sea Shell Heaven


So remember a bit back when I posted this Ship of Dreams WIP? Here are the finished pieces, I caught a few shots before they set sail on their long voyage... I used the RELICS & ARTIFACTS cameo's painted to resemble antique carved coral and lava stone. I custom mix my paint colors to get the tones just right and to give them a lovely tactile surface they have been rubbed with candle wax and buffed up with an old toothbrush, a simple but effective technique that adds a nice luster.

New Additions to the RELICS & ARTIFACTS Collection


We have added some cool new pieces to my RELICS & ARTIFACTS Prima Marketing Flowers line... fabulous unique resins, beautiful dresden crowns, wings and trims. One of my personal favorites is the large Sacred Heart Milagro it has 3 sweet little cherubs on it. I finished this one to look like old tarnished silver, adhered it to a wooden box and surrounded it with real turquoise nuggets. Be sure to read about the secret finish I use on my Relics to create a realistic antique coral finish, its fast and easy and you'll be amazed at the results!! AND take a look at the gorgeous Angelic Heart Canvas step by step project by Miranda Edney!!
Pop over to the Prima blog, take a look and please leave your thoughts and comments, we'd love to know what you think!

Sometimes what something represents is more valuable than the treasure it contains. Everything comes from someplace, if I close my eyes and listen closely I can hear the waves rolling in.... been playing with lots of shells lately. I must be missing the ocean!
