Post by: Sweet Daes on July 23, 2018, 07:12:58 AM: I am doing an experiment with some resin and glitter to make the wings and the tail, but I need to find glittery fabric that has small enough flakes. I might just have to forgo the glittery fabric in favor of subtle accents versus looking chintzy.

If it works I will re-do the wings and tail it with closer to cannon purples and SPERKLZ YAY

The one thing I am concerned about is how the paint is likely not to be smooth and shiny enough. The Celestia I used had awful stains that didn't fade so I painted a base coat. I used a glossy enamel for the base versus a regular acrylic and it's better? It's still not the result that I want, though. I think the only way to get the result I want is to get an airbrush x.X

Next I am going to try cellophane as soon as I can get the materials.
