Tardis Tile Touch Up


Last year I made an attempt at an artistic rendering of a starry sky with alcohol ink. I then decorated it with a vinyl decal of the TARDIS (from Dr. Who).  Back then, I wasn't sealing everything with Kamar Varnish after completing--especially if it was something I was planning on using decoratively. So with the little flecks of ink that came off when I applied the decal and some overall dulling of the ink in the last year, when a chip of ink came off (in the pink circle below), I knew it was time to touch up the tarids tile.


When I applied the tardis decal, some of the ink in the lower right corner of the tile flaked off, but it looked sort of starry, so I didn't mind it much, but as the tile got a duller and another piece of ink flaked off, I got out my craft mat and got to work.


I pulled out my blue, black, purple, and silver inks and dripped them onto areas that needed additional coverage or that had gotten a bit dull. I used some canned air to spread the ink out and away from the center of the tile (and the decal).


I covered and up any areas that I thought looked worn and set the tile aside to dry.


After the ink was dry, I sprayed it with some Kamar Varnish to seal it. If this tile were being used for as a candle plate or coaster, it would need a more durable sealant over the Kamar Varnish, but since I have this one sitting on a shelf (on a plate stand/easel), hopefully this should do the trick for years to come.
