This is what I used to glaze my sculpture:
Here is DD8's finished sculpture -- though you can't really see the diamond dust she showered it with:

And here is my lady. I decided she needed some celebratory ribbons to be waving as she sang her praises to the Lord:
While I kind of wish I'd covered the wire completely, I'm happy with the results of our labours!
Are there any creative endeavours of yours that you've accomplished lately that please you?
This project is so cool! Love how you all achieved different looks from the same base. Very interesting to see the whole process.
