Mermaid’s Dream Gourd Vase with Powertex and Unicorn Spit

Susan Crowe

Description: Calling all ocean lovers, you are going to love this one! Let me share with you my latest discovery of how to mix Powertex liquid and Unicorn Spit to create fabulous texture effects on any gourd surface. Powertex makes it possible to create swirls, cracks, waves, and drips with Unicorn Spit while retaining the Unicorn Spit's eye-popping colors. We will be using Powertex and 3D Sand to mold life-like ocean barnacles and top it off with a real seashell. The colors are so vibrant this vase looks like it came right out of the ocean! Believe me the photo does not do it justice, so please stop by, and see it in person at the class project display area. You must see this up close to appreciate the details!
