Actually, it's not that hard, just the effect is neat. The base is a black with blue marbleizer. Then the flames are airbrushed on using a "silver pearl" type paint. I have another one coming up in the next week or two that will have the marbleized effect...just no flames.
marbleizing has been around quite a while. Some people refer to it as "bowling ball" paint.
in doing some more reading about marbelizing, i had another question for ya scott.
what did you use to marbelize it? i've read that some people use plastic wrap, aluminum foil, or a grocery bag. that almost looks like you used a paint brush to acheive that.
what other objects have you heard of people using for marbeling?
