...and who doesn't love to play? I ventured into my studio with
ideas dancing in my head. I imagined there would be this frenzy of paper,
paint, and inks flying through the air along with a video of the amazing
creation!!!! Well, that didn't happen, instead I ventured into the studio and
played with some new items. I went to Michaels three times today.
That's right, I said three. Generally, I'm not an indecisive person
when it comes to buying craft supplies, however, today I couldn't make up my mind.
I ended up with:
A few bottles of Tim Holtz new Distress Paints (on sale, who am I kidding,
I'm gonna have to back and buy all of them )
Kraft Glassine (very cool wax paper like paper, tons of possibilities)
Various embellishments
Cling stamps- also on sale
XL Recycled Bristol paper (on sale, sooo I had no choice but to get
it. Its a 96lb paper good for mixed media. One side is smooth the
other is side is textured.
Canvas pad - never tried it before but looks like fun. There are 10
sheets of 12x1 6 sheets of canvas for acrylic and oil paints.
Back to where I started, so I ventured in and started playing with the
paints and testing them out. The paints are extremely cool and once dried
they do not re-wet. I think that will be perfect for backgrounds. The
Glassine paper is really really cool. I’ve
got an idea in mind that I’ll show later.
I played so much, I completely forgot about the wonderful video I was
going to do. And now it's time to get ready to watch the taped last
episode of scandal.. :( .. sniff.
Wait! There’s more. Then I went to AC
Moore (formerly Ben Franklins), looking for a particular paint brush and just
my luck they had it. Not only did they
have it, it was on SALE!!! And what a sale, Winsor & Newton Cotman wash
brushes are normally like $30 bucks (and I would NEVER spend that kinda money
on a brush. I’m real cheap $4 a brush is
my limit). These babies where on sale
for $2.50. Let me spell that out..two
dollars and fifty cents. I got the last
two and a couple of round brushes. What
a great day.
The above is a painting of a fairy getting caught in a spring rain shower. (I
liked the pic so much I put a version of it in my art journal, ck out
the video)
Until the next blog..

I love to play in my studio, Carol, and I love to shop for art supplies! I have 3 of the new TH Distress Inks, but, like you, want them all. I thought 3 would be enough for a "test drive," but not so. Love the fairy piece you have created here. You are such an inspiration (not to mention enabler!).
ReplyDeleteThank you Kay. Yes, three is good for the test but we need them all for the journey! We must enable each other as often as we can. LOL!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the next video!
