Memory painting address goes to an open field. Ha. I got my orders but wrong colors! It'd been a month and the only way they have contacted me is through tiktok and Instagram. And it takes weeks to hear back and it's always generic and then don't hear from them again

Thank you so much for your feedback and your comment! I don’t know if they will do this anymore, because I resigned from the framing department in early 2020. I hope they will, because I loved dry mounting my paint by number canvases, but if you will check my playlists, I have four or five other videos on how you can do other methods yourself just in case the framing department will not dry mount them anymore. I hope you find a technique that works best for you!

If you get a cheap "canvas" painting, folded with wrinkles (likely from China) -- here is a way to have a wrinkle free surface you can paint on. Do not iron it because the heat of the iron can cause it to buckle. Get a piece of mat board the same size as the canvas. Spray one side of the mat board generously with 3M spray glue --- spray evenly and consistently with back and forth motion across the whole thing. Carefully spread your canvas out on top of it -- with your fingers, work the wrinkles out. The wrinkles will be gone and you will have an even, flat surface to paint on. For framing, if you want a sturdier back than the mat board, you could always affix it to a wood backing or book board backing.

Since this video three or four years ago, I recorded four or five different methods for mounting the canvas. I absolutely hate ironing and refused to do it. 🥴😂 I personally don’t use a spray mount because of the mess and the smell…{anything with an odor can trigger migraines for me 🙄}… but I did demonstrate several different techniques for mounting with other methods. Your option is also a great way to do it! Thank you for sharing that. 🥰❤️

So having a background I using clear silicone stamps, I peeled it off. So why is it now ruined as you mention the directions state (I didn’t get any directions with my new wedge). Can someone tell me why it’s made this way and have I truly ruined it?

They dry out very fast...so not sure if it is worth spending the money for those storage jars
@MelanieBsCreativeStudio
@MelanieBsCreativeStudio 21 күн бұрын
If you use the paint in the pots, they won’t dry out, which is the purpose. I’ve gone back to paint pots 3 years later that are still good. Most of my buckets hold Schipper paint pots, and those stay fresh for a long time. I add Flow-Aid, if necessary, and I have no issues. When I have a creative idea I share it, and this is how I have my paint pots stored in my studio. It’s a beautiful display, easy to find the paint color I’m looking for, and functional in my studio. Not everyone may be able to do the same, but KZbin is all about sharing free ideas 💡☺️.

@noblumoon I have received new kits with dry paints and have old paints with fresh paints. It honestly makes no sense 🥴. I think the paint pots have a lot to do with whether the paint stays fresh, because acrylic paint has a long shelf life, but the pots aren’t always airtight.

You start wherever you would like! The only thing I can advise is that if you are right-handed that you move left-to-right to avoid getting your hand in wet paint. If you are a leftie, you will work right-to-left. Otherwise, I start wherever I am inspired based on color or part of the design.

There is no ink and this kind of printer, because it is a thermal printer. I have no idea how this technology works, I just know that it does. 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ It uses some kind of thermal imaging to apply the image to the paper or label, which is why it’s only available in black print. That’s one of the reasons I love these kinds of printers, because I never have to mess with ink!

I recently ordered from Craftoria also. Took about 15 days to get the order, and I also thought it was a U.S. based company. Found out all was being shipped from China. Looks like good quality kits (got 3 with the one free deal). Haven't gotten started on anything yet because I have another one I am finishing up first. Other than the rather long shipping time (especially since I accustomed to three day shipping), I can say I am pleased with what I received.

Great question, so I went to look it up on Amazon. The only thing I found for this particular model was the adhesive-backed labels. I did find that this company, Phomemo, had two mini printer models, the M04S and M04AS, that take a non-adhesive thermal paper. Those prints 2-4” wide. They also had a larger model that could use thermal paper, as well. The M832 model appears to print as large as an 8.5 x 11”. I’ll put the links for those items in the description below the video, because I’m not allowed to share them here. ☺️
