Directions:
Step 1: Mark where you want to keep the base and don't carve that part of the foam. Use the
fettling knife and
rasps to begin shaping and removing pieces of the foam. Cover table or place the foam brick in
a plastic tray to
contain the dust and pieces of foam.
Step 2: Continue carving and shaping the foam with the wire tool.
Step 3: Smooth surface and brush off excess dust.
Step 4: Finish with Magic Metallic paint colors of your choice. Spritz on patinas while paint is
still wet. Allow the
paint to dry. Add additional layers of paint and patinas. Let it dry.
Optional Tip 1: Seal paint with a sealer or matte medium.
