This is what happens when I allow myself to lay down "just for a minute" at 9 in the evening ... I wake up in the middle of the night & have to actually put on PJs & etc, then I'm awake & can't go right back to sleep LOL. So I decided to finish editing pics & get them up for you guys =)
This was my first marble using Zoya. Base color is Sienna, marbling done with Sienna & Kalista. & yes that's a snowflake falling right on my nail in the last shot - I started early & got home before the worst of the storm hit, but I'm sure the regular commute home was a nightmare for a lot of people today. When I showed him, Mark at work said this looked like turkey feathers LOL, which wasn't my intention but I guess it kind of does:
Here is the tutorial - along with a few tips on picking colors to marble with & why this particular design ended up without the yellow that I was originally going to include:
I hope you all have a safe & happy Thanksgiving Day! It is very cold here, but plans are on track to bring a card table & extra chairs to grandma's house to accommodate the 15 people that will be there for dinner =) How many people will be at your table?
Thanks for reading.

ReplyDeleteI love your water marbles! each and every one of them! =D they're so beautiful! I need a lil help tho, i can't seem to get the nail polish to spread out properly in the water, it keeps swimmin to the side, and when I add some more nail polish it doesn't spread at all =( could u give me some advice please? =) ur the expert ^^ thank u so much!
ReplyDeleteEVERYONE - Thanks! =)
ReplyDeleteCANDACE - are you using room temp filtered water? Other than that, it is just trial & error to find the colors that work well, you want one with good pigmentation, maybe a little on the thick side but thin enough to drip & above all slow-drying. HTH =)
Hi, I love your blog, I wanted to ask a question

ReplyDeleteI think the 2010 T'giving orange and brown is particularly beautiful. And I think it benefits from the omission of the yellow.
