New in Store: Art Alchemy Metallic Waxes

New in store recently, are these wonderful metallic waxes from Finnabair's Art Alchemy for Prima. With 16 lush colours and metallic finishes, I found it hard to choose... and even then I went back a second time to grab- just one more. :-)

These waxes can be used to colour just about anything and will look just as good on a dark surface as they will on a light one. The finish looks like a bright metallic lustre.
  • Really awesome for colouring chipboard, or collage pieces- you can apply direct to the item or paint it first for different effects. 
  • Once it has dried it is permanent. 
  • Apply multiple colours to create a patina or aged look. 
  • Use lighter colours for highlights 
  • Use darker colours to give the effect of shadows. 
  • Use it on the edges of your pages, photos, or journal cards. 
  • Change the colour of embellishments to suit your page 
  • Apply with a brush or just use your fingers... not particularly messy so a great way to get into mixed media without too much clean-up!

I've linked some videos at the end of this post so you










As well as the above colours we also have; Aged Brass, Bronze Age, Rich Copper, Rose Gold and Vintage Gold. Each offering their own special effects and highlights. 

Here are some projects from Finnabairs Blog to show how the waxes appear on projects...









Finally check out these videos on Youtube which give some basic information on the what and how of this interesting and striking product:
