Altered Paint Brush (Sea Life)

Hello Happy Friday Everyone!!!!

Today I'm showing you how I altered a Paint brush using some great products! All Links will be below as always!

Here I'm  using a 3 inch Painters brush. With a stencil I used Finnabairs limestone paste.

Not waiting for it to dry I added some cheesecloth, a resin piece,and a left over ribbon spool using gel medium

Now i'm mixing some finnabair art stones in with gel medium, adding them inside the spool to give some depth. I also take Stamperia glass paste and add it all around the spool for some more texture.

I take two resin dolphins I made with the sea life stamperia mould, and add them on top of that ribbon spool. after everything is good and dry I add A coat of clear gesso.

Now My Favorite part! Adding color! Today I used some Tim Holts Distress sprays in blue and yellow. I kept layering the colors. I would dry then add more.

Here is where I added some art pebbles (melange) I was gonna highlight this with silver wax, you can see it on the dolphin tails and the shells, but I didn't love it.

So I added some black finnabair glass glitter to add some more depth under the dolphins, I also took white gesso and dry brushed everything to make all the elements pop! Lastly I used some Prills for more texture!
