@@DeMarieMWaltersactually I believe any acrylic medium will do - just thin it to your desired consistency. I do use Elmer’s glue often if I’m repainting the whole thing. If I’m leaving jewelry exposed, it’s liquitex varnish and then pouring medium. But make sure each layer of glue dries before you apply the next layer.

Hard to pick a favorite but maybe #7. It’s fascinating to watch you but it goes so fast, it’s hard to tell how you’re getting them all to stay. Could you explain your process in real time - like a voice over of what you did? Varnish and glue - which is first?
@dorothealeblancart2 ай бұрын
Good idea. I’ll explain shortly here: I paint the background panel or canvas first. Then I play with my arrangement until I like it. Then I use glue - E6000 for large and heavy jewelry pieces OR acrylic varnish (even thinned down) for thin chains/necklaces so they don’t get pushed where I don’t want them. Once everything is well tacked down and totally dry, I’ll use one or two layers of pouring medium over the whole thing. (You could use a few layers of varnish to but I accidentally bought a gallon of pouring medium instead of gesso so I’m using it up 😅). Be sure to let each layer of varnish or glue dry well. And don’t speed dry, I tried that once and the top surface of the glue dries first, not allowing any glue “pockets” to dry - wet glue stays white(!).

It’s fascinating art, you can look it up. Well that’s the stuff they use (and add colour to) and I bought a gallon of it once by accident thinking it was gesso! Not wanting to go back to the store I decided to find a use for it. 😂

Anyway, I usually put on several layers of varnish, and if I don’t like the sheen, I’ll change it.

Thanks! I’ve never used E7000, but if I was wanting to attach jewelry to a fabric like velvet, I might first stiffen the velvet with iron-on interfacing or even something stiffer … and then sew the jewelry onto the fabric. Glue can make an ugly mess on fabric, that’s why I often paint over my jewelry. Hope that helps.
