Fantasy gourd

I collect carnival glass.
When I discovered that I could get a finish that looked very much like real carnival glass using Fantasy Film, I went a little crazy and started 'canivalglassizing" anything and everything I could get my hands on.

I LOVE the way it looks on this gourd. :)



The textures are yummy too. I'll be using this close up shot of the textures in something at some point I'm sure. ;)

Oh that is gourdgeous! Sorry! I just couldn't resist a little corny humor.
To me, the close up looks just like black opal. What color or colors of film did you use?
