Eye of Sauron Ornament

It sees you when you're sleeping, it knows when you're awake.  This ornament is a small, portable version of the Eye of Sauron from the recent Lord of the Rings movie series. 

Normally, you don't mix oil-based and water-based paint.  However, to get the cool effect of the fiery sphere of the Eye of Sauron, this is exactly what you've got to do.  Acrylic craft paint is spritzed with oil-based spray paint to create streaks without a fuss.

Step 1 Supplies

Glass ornament (I used gold but you could use any color that seems appropriate)
Acrylic craft paints: Red and Black
Metallic Gold spray paint
Black oil-based model paint or black nail polish
Gold oil-based model paint or gold nail polish
Cardboard scraps (to protect your work area)
Clear spray paint (optional)
Small paint brush
Heavy cup or other container
Glass marbles, pennies, etc. to hold down the stick of the drying stand you will create
Pencil or Pen
