The brindle is painted with Black Tie
I added the dots on the brindle

my
Dazzling Metallic Writer

Snowman and eyes are done!
Once my snow man faces were dry I painted over them with
my
Glamour Dust Ice Crystal
to
make them

I painted
the
stick and ball
with
Black Tie and Shimmering Silver

I used my glue gun to attach the mane and stick
I also attached a clothespin to the back for hanging
These ornaments are BIG!
When finished they are 12" tall!
