Thank you for supporting Serendipity Creations ✨ ✨ Welcome to Serendipity Creations ✨ Today I’m creating a Gothic Apothecary Shelf using AquaCast and mother of pearl details to create a dark, aged stone look with subtle flashes of iridescence around the outer frame. This project took a slightly different direction than originally planned… and I’m so glad it did. Instead of covering the whole shelf, I focused the mother of pearl around the edges to frame the piece and let the shape do the work. To finish, I dry brushed with Extreme Sheen Sterling Silver to create that worn, moonlit stone effect and sealed everything using Sally’s wax to soften and bring the whole piece together. I love how this one feels like an old apothecary display shelf while still keeping that Serendipity style magic ✨ 🖤 PRODUCTS USED AquaCast (Affiliate Link + Code SUSIE15) https://www.elichem.co.uk/water-based...
