Mixed media on Styrofoam?

A few weeks ago, a few of us at Hobbykunst was discussing the idea of creating some mixed media on a styrofoam medallion. This had to be tested, and here is the result. 

The styrofoam medallion was mounted on a wooden stick. The wooden stick was then mounted on a wooden spool.

I used old jewelry parts, metal pieces, beads, metal from Finnabair, and different kind of bling. I used Liquitex heavy gel as glue and let it dry over night.

The medallion was painted black. When the paint had dried, it was painted with white acrylic paint, cobber, and different blue Finnabair paints and different mists. Then I added flowers. 

In between the flowers and the mixed media, I mounted a wooden flamingo and a little wooden palm. These are from one of Rayher new wooden sets.

The other side has been decorated in a similar but different way.

The word "Sweet" and "Smile" is from a new wooden text set from Rayher.
