| My new gelato paints |
In addition to the gelato paints, I received a low-end travel-sized hair dryer I plan to use for helping to dry layers of paint and mediums on my projects. I also got a mini hot glue gun that will help me attach some 3D elements when needed.
It feels almost like a normal studio! I have supplies. I have tools. Of course, I still have only a small 20" x 15" TV tray on which to work, and a bed on which to sit. Still, crafting almost feels normal with all my new stuff.
I pulled out the 11x14 canvas I've been working with. Up to this point, I'd only laid down 1" squares of paper under a matte gel medium - 154 pieces of 1" square pieces of paper, to be exact. With my new supplies, I thought I was ready to finish up this project.
I used my new gelato paints - the grey, in particular, makes a great shape medium. I also used a few upcycled crafting tools like the cardboard tube from the inside of a toilet paper roll...and bubble wrap! Who doesn't like bubble wrap? Both "tools" make some amazing effects when used like stamps. My fingers turned out to be great painting tools as well.
When finished, I stood back to see what I had created. I love the way this turned out. I can't wait to do some more with these paints.
