Christmas ball by Natalya Trofimova

First you need to coat the moulds and balls with Impasto paint and let them dry.

I covered the first ball with cracks. For the bottom color I chose turquoise Texture Paste Effect.

I do not want to see cracks on the entire surface of the ball, but only on a brighter one. I coat this part of the ball with craquelure varnish. I put a varnish in one direction. And let it dry.

Now on the places where the varnish is applied, I put the second color – with Icing Paste - Amethyst Magic

After the paste has dried, I glue the decorative figures and cover the top with a thin layer of the second color paste.

Ball for the Christmas tree is ready!

I simply cover the second ball with a double color, and using a sponge for this.

I am covering the decorative figures with Opal Magic Waxes. I put a dark color in depth to give shadows, and a light color - on the surface of the figure

And as an accent I add Melange - Art Pebbles.

Christmas decorations are ready! Thanks for attention! I would be happy for your comments and feedback!
