I also will add an acrylic sealant for both some gloss and to double make sure that the paint will stay; I use a brush on but Mister Super Clear or Dullcote Clear are popular.Kady the Red Pandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15342195466896617166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726715699839627686.post-61025222277037521432014-11-26T17:07:42.289-05:002014-11-26T17:07:42.289-05:00I'm very grateful to you for sharing this pers...I'm very grateful to you for sharing this perspective, Miyu. I have to admit that I never put much time into the analysis of Ellowyne's character, but there has always been something a little off-putting to me about her bored persona. I dislike the concept of boredom, especially as a complaint from my own children!
