Supplies & The Recipe - The first step is to mix your glazing solution. I use equal parts of glazing medium and black paint. Then, I add just a few drops of water.

How to Apply It - For the next step you have a couple of options. You can either apply the glaze with a paint brush and wipe it off with a dry cloth or apply it with one cloth and wipe it off with another. I do it the second way. But you can experiment and see what you like best. Read more...

I'm in the UK and can't find a 'glazing medium'. Does it have another name? And what type of black paint did you use?

I got my turquoise as regular latex paint at my local Home Improvement store. They'll custom mix as little as a quart so your options are limitless. I bought a shade darker since I would be adding white plaster of paris and water. Glaze can also be found in these stores. You can use those little bottles of craft paint from Michael's or Walmart for tinting your glaze.

Apparently she won't share the name/brand of color that was used. What a bummer....it's so pretty
