I had so much fun creating this project! Getting the wrought iron star to look dimensional was a bit of a challenge. I do not use white oil paint in my inking a rouging very much because it makes the ink look chalky. But, in this case it worked wonderfully. If you look closely at the star you can see a highlight right down the center of the wrought iron, and the addition of the white oil over the inking was the perfect solution! Remember that you can change the colors to suit your décor, and think of something really neat as a different surface choice! One of my certified teachers adapted this to a big crock and it was awesome!
