Playing with Prima's patina pastes!

 I am making this a class at Whim So Doodle on May 27th:
This is a Prima resin butterfly that can be placed on a cute stand. I glued on beads, pearls, and metals and painted it all with this patina effect paste.  Then I rubbed Art Alchemy Metallic Wax in aged brass on the metals and edges of the butterfly and then glued the crown with a tiny bead in the center.

Here's the back of the butterfly.  Some molding paste through a stencil and some more metallic wax was added to make it stand out.  I thought the dangling gems added something special.  I painted the base with the brass color.  I'm sure much much more could be added but I liked it this way so I stopped!
 
I hope you like this!  This should be a fun class!
