We will be using Pebeo Fantasy paints which are fabulous and can be used on all non porous surfaces.
The Fantasy paints come in two different finishes, Prisme which has a freckled/speckled look and Moon which looks swirly.
Both have a pearlised almost metallic look and are great on metal jewellery and findings. They work very happily on many surfaces including glass, metal, wood, plastic, terracotta, shiny card ,acetate and pre-gessoed canvas.
The paint looks like a cross between nail varnish and enamel and can be painted/dropped/poured onto the surface depending on the desired thickness. The product doesn’t have to be fired or heat treated and hardens over time, touch dry in 24 hours, hardened in 72 hours and completely dry in 2-3 weeks.
The colours mix beautifully without going muddy and having experimented I find that Prisme is best mixed with Prisme and Moon best mixed with Moon as they have different formulations, however you can put the products next to each other as neighbours rather than best friends.
The effect you get can be quite unpredictable, but always looks fantastic.
Pebeo have a fabulous range of jewellery findings which are ideal for using with the Fantasy paint range and are stainless steel and rhodium plated.
I’m really looking forward to using these great products and if you can’t get to the show why not look out for them in your local Pebeo stockist
