The centerpiece is a hand-painted great white shark, created using Dixie Belle\u2019s Terra Clay Artisan Paints and accented with flexible wood ornaments from WoodUbend. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The full description can be found below the video and a list of the products used at the end of this article.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Sagenhafter IKEA-Hack: Wei\u00dfer Hai mit Dixiebelle Terra Clay-Farben und WoodUbend-Ornamenten\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/K-RbZYVl_R0?list=PLAlchv6aMw1HOIOn5Y66UQ36rZ-osCS0V\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also this project, although it is new, I first cleaned with White Lightning.

To keep the mud from seeping through the holes, I use tape as a plug. <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"270188\" src=\"https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0527-819x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-270188\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0527-819x1024.jpeg 819w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0527-240x300.jpeg 240w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0527-768x960.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0527-600x750.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0527.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"270296\" src=\"https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0528-819x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-270296\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0528-819x1024.jpeg 819w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0528-240x300.jpeg 240w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0528-768x960.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0528-600x750.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0528.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"270294\" src=\"https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0529-819x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-270294\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0529-819x1024.jpeg 819w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0529-240x300.jpeg 240w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0529-768x960.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0529-600x750.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0529.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This time, I&#8217;m working with Dixie Belle&#8217;s Terra Clay Artisan Paints.

Since this is a smooth, coated surface, I primed it in preparation for further painting. At the time of this project, I was still using Slick Stick by Dixie Belle for this; today I use Bonding Boss. The base color here is Galaxy from the Terra series, which I apply twice. To create a woven effect, I apply the second coat at a 90\u00b0 angle to the first. Terra Clay Artisan Paints are not self-leveling, and the brush strokes may remain visible as they dry. That\u2019s exactly what I\u2019m using here to create my effect. For stenciling, I use Pistachio and the Buffalo Check stencil from Belles &amp; Whistles. With a nearly dry brush\u2014meaning very little paint\u2014and firm pressure, I apply the paint in circular motions.        <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"270280\" src=\"https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0536-819x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-270280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0536-819x1024.jpeg 819w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0536-240x300.jpeg 240w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0536-768x960.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0536-600x750.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0536.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"270278\" src=\"https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0537-819x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-270278\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0537-819x1024.jpeg 819w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0537-240x300.jpeg 240w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0537-768x960.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0537-600x750.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0537.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"254039\" src=\"https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/please-6-1-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-254039\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/please-6-1-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/please-6-1-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/please-6-1-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/please-6-1-600x750.jpg 600w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/please-6-1.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The top trim of the dresser is decorated with the WUBTR720 trim.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"270276\" src=\"https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0538-819x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-270276\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0538-819x1024.jpeg 819w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0538-240x300.jpeg 240w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0538-768x960.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0538-600x750.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0538.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"270274\" src=\"https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0539-819x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-270274\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0539-819x1024.jpeg 819w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0539-240x300.jpeg 240w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0539-768x960.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0539-600x750.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0539.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I work with trim, I apply the glue to my project and try to keep the trim coiled up for as long as possible.

Since the WoodUbend cools down and hardens again while I\u2019m working, I reheat it periodically to keep it flexible.    <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-6 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"270272\" src=\"https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0540-819x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-270272\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0540-819x1024.jpeg 819w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0540-240x300.jpeg 240w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0540-768x960.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0540-600x750.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0540.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"270270\" src=\"https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0541-819x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-270270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0541-819x1024.jpeg 819w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0541-240x300.jpeg 240w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0541-768x960.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0541-600x750.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0541.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"270268\" src=\"https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0542-819x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-270268\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0542-819x1024.jpeg 819w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0542-240x300.jpeg 240w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0542-768x960.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0542-600x750.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0542.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If it&#8217;s flexible, you can also cut it with a sharp knife.

Finally, I apply another thin layer of the blue tones on top so that the underlying layers of color can still show through.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-12 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"270234\" src=\"https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0559-819x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-270234\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0559-819x1024.jpeg 819w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0559-240x300.jpeg 240w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0559-768x960.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0559-600x750.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0559.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"270232\" src=\"https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0560-819x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-270232\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0560-819x1024.jpeg 819w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0560-240x300.jpeg 240w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0560-768x960.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0560-600x750.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0560.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"270230\" src=\"https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0561-819x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-270230\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0561-819x1024.jpeg 819w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0561-240x300.jpeg 240w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0561-768x960.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0561-600x750.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0561.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, I trace the outline of the shark itself with Cerulean Blue.

For this, I&#8217;m using Dixie Belle&#8217;s Chalk Mineral Paints. Since I&#8217;ll be working with a lot of water here, and the unsealed Terra Clay Artisan Paints can be reactivated with water, I prefer to use the Chalk Mineral Paints for this technique.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Midnight Sky, In the Navy, and Dixie Belle Blue\u2014blended together using the Best Dang Brush\u2014create a deliberately irregular, cloudy look as a base. I repeat the entire process a second time to achieve the desired coverage. In between and afterward, I sand the surface with a fine-grit sanding sponge to achieve the smoothest possible finish. I thoroughly remove the sanding dust each time before continuing.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I start by sealing the surface with Easy Peasy Spray Wax before I begin the marbling process. This allows me to better control the subsequent layers of paint when using this technique. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was inspired to create the marbled effect by Jonathon Marc Mendes\u2019s \u201cPainted Love.\u201d Although mine doesn\u2019t turn out as refined and elegant as his\u2014it\u2019s actually a bit more organic, though that was kind of unintentional. But it suits me better, doesn\u2019t it?  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the marbling effect, I use \u201cCotton\u201d from the Chalk Mineral Paint series and \u201cSteel Magnolia\u201d from the Moonshine Metallic series. Using an artist\u2019s brush, I apply the \u201cCotton\u201d paint\u2014diluted with water\u2014in vein-like strokes and add irregular drips. Using the spray bottle, I let it spread even more and then partially wipe it off with a damp microfiber cloth. I also add Steel Magnolia here and there to create a subtle sheen. In the areas where it\u2019s too light for my liking, I repeat the process with Midnight Sky to darken it again\u2014until I\u2019m satisfied.    <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-17 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"270202\" src=\"https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0575-819x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-270202\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0575-819x1024.jpeg 819w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0575-240x300.jpeg 240w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0575-768x960.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0575-600x750.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0575.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"270200\" src=\"https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0576-819x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-270200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0576-819x1024.jpeg 819w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0576-240x300.jpeg 240w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0576-768x960.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0576-600x750.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0576.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"270198\" src=\"https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0577-819x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-270198\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0577-819x1024.jpeg 819w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0577-240x300.jpeg 240w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0577-768x960.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0577-600x750.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0577.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"270196\" src=\"https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0578-819x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-270196\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0578-819x1024.jpeg 819w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0578-240x300.jpeg 240w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0578-768x960.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0578-600x750.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/elfen-und-helden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0578.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The entire project will ultimately be sealed with Terra Tuff.
