Jodie, hello hello! Loved seeing this color pallet again. Always reminds me of you when you first started. My favorite technique of yours is creating the beautiful crisp lace, lots of lace and cells. On your second painting, again that glorious webbing everywhere and the colors are so vibrant and the composition is so invigorating. And you are right you can turn it any direction and it's so balanced they all look great. It was a real joy seeing how happy you were with the beauty you just created and they both dried so perfectly. Your little crochet hat with the ears was too cute and you looked so warm cause it's cold out. Thank you for starting my day off with a big smile. Have a joyful day day.🌅💙😍😊

Hi Jodie, I’m very new to this but I would very much love to try this. Do you add cell activator to the white paint or is the white paint cell activated already? If so can you purchase any colour cell activator?

[@ThePaintedDreamer]

Hi Bronwyn 🤗 the cell activator is the Australian floetrol mixed with the Amsterdam titanium white paint. Those two things mixed together become the cell activator for the blooms technique. I have a playlist of videos called beginning the blooms that may help you to understand all the components involved in this technique. 💜

[@carolineg.5461]

oooooh Jodie I have some questions for you. The Enamel behr 8300 have a heavy odor. Than I want change it. I buy Valspar semi-gloss base C. You are used this in the old video. But I don't remember the number. Is not write enamel on my gallon? If I use this for my paint and my pigment is ok? The result will be good? If my blow out is ok 🤣. Do you remember if this base will be ok for the bloom? Another question. I read this week than the varnish Jo sonja (or other varnish) is add only for glossy the paint on bloom? Is it real? Than it may be replace by the liquitex lissage? or nothing if the texture is ok? When my mix of pigment with enamel and Jo sonja stay on his cup, after one at two days I see a white liquid on the top... Is it normal? Thank you so lot to help me. 🥰 🙏🙏🙏 Add : 😄 For me no coincidence, 😁 When I looked at the bottom of the screen the first video I was offered was exactly what I asked you in my first question. Valspar semi-gloss versus Valspar hight-gloss. I wanted to share with you my surprise to see this video present to me alone. 😅🤣video#110

[@ThePaintedDreamer]

Oh my gosh Caroline that’s awesome that video was presented to you. You can use either Valspar for your untinted base paint as part of your pouring medium they both work well it’s just the high gloss sometimes is harder to find in some areas so either will work. I like to use the regular Varathane polyurethane varnish now the triple thick was getting too thick for me especially in winter. I did a video on that, number 155, and it’s still what I currently use today for my pouring medium mix. Pictures of all cans are always at the end of my videos you can pause the video to see it better 🤗. I’ve used a few different varnishes as part of my PM mix over the years (Jo Sonja, Varathane, Minwax) but not the liquitex so I don’t know if it may change any dynamics but as I always say if you have it try it and see how it works for you. Finally, the white liquid on top is perfectly normal, all paints separate especially mixes so if they sit even overnight you’ll notice some separation, just stir it gently to incorporate it back in and you’re good to go, hope this helps! 💜💜

[@carolineg.5461]

@@ThePaintedDreamer Thank youuuuuuu soooo lot Jodie for your answers. ❤️❤️❤️ Incredable but the video #155 was come to me yesterday. 😅😅🪄 After listen this video I understand than you use the Varathane ultimate polyuréthane. I searched a lot last night to find it but I can't find it. I am not presented with the correct label. On Amazon there are way too many reviews saying they got the "wrong" polish cane. So I dare not trust amazon. Is there another label or another name to describe it. I am in Quebec. On the internet it tells me that Rona has the same varnish as in your video but if I click it shows me another product or label!! 🤷‍♀️🤔 All I need is the varnish. What is do the varnish in the medium? Should it be indicated as having polyurethane?🤔 For a week, I can finally have Valspare, and two minutes from home! 👏👏👏👏👏 😊 Rona is now part of Lowe's, Awwwww!!!! 😁 The Behr 8300 smells so strong and it's way too thick for me. I'm super happy to be able to switch products. 😅 For the pillow, I can get it at Home Depot... But it's further. 🤷‍♀️ Near my house there is a Sherin-Williams, Ronal, Is there another pillow that would work like the Glitten premium satin? or eggshell? and in about the same prices?🙏 I'm going to give you a gift for answering all my questions so generously. ❤️❤️❤️ I don't have access to you paypal link on all video. Do you help me? The link does not work. I prefer paypal if it's possible because the "Special Thank you" on you tube cost money. I want you have all money. How do you think than I pay you? 😊 😉

[@ThePaintedDreamer]

@@carolineg.5461 Both the Varathane (it’s called Varathane Ultimate Polyurethane water based clear gloss varnish) and the Glidden Premium in satin come from Home Depot. The only other pillow I like to use is the PPG Multi Pro which is also from Home Depot but sometimes that gets too thick for me especially now in winter. I’ve not tried any Sherwin Williams paints for pillow except the color to go (quart size only) and it was just way too thick for me but others love it. I don’t know if they are still making that though so if you are going to experiment with another pillow I would buy small containers to try to make sure you like it first. 😊

[@carolineg.5461]

@@ThePaintedDreamer Thank you so much for taking the time to respond to me so quickly. I went to Home depot today I didn't change my pillow in the end. I kept the Glitten as before and like you. 😉 As for varathane... There is none ahead at all. The person didn't even know the label and I didn't see it either. So I opted for the brand "Behr clear, glossy, water-based polyurethane. We opened the container and the color is white and it seems to be the same consistency as what you are using. We will see. I will test. To finish at Rona the Valpar ultra according to their guide box, the gloss does not exist... There is only the semi-gloss. And it only had gallons. 😁 So I hope that my new components will work better for me. 🙏❤️ Thank you for your help Jodie !!!

Where to begin...your hats are so cute on you! Ok, so I went to your Etsy shop but didn't see the piece I was interested in. Either it's gone or not posted yet. Anyway, you're 48? Get out! Never, ever would have guessed it, but you're still a kid to me. Shortly after I started watching your videos you had a piece fly off the spinner. I think it was green. I gasped, then laughed with you. I think of that on your more generous spins! I don't know the difference between a regular and a floating bloom. Google, here I come! Honestly, I liked the first piece better before you added the twists. They went through some of my favorite parts. Just my preference, but the dried result was very nice the way you did it. As for the second piece, wow, is it gorgeous. As you contemplated whether or not to add the twists, I'm here screaming, "Leave it, Jodie! Leave it!" You did and it's amazing! Love it! Love you, kid! See you next week!🤗💜💙❤ I gotta go Google something...🤣

[@ThePaintedDreamer]

Thank you Joetta 🤗. That’s my other obsession of late, making hats 😂! That piece you were interested in I replied to the original comment about it on that video please go check there and you can message me in my Etsy shop about it also. It won’t be ready until March it has to cure and be finished 💜. Soon to be 49 next month and believe me I feel it 😉. I’ve had many blooms fly off my spinner before I realized I had to put paint on it to stop it lol 😂. A regular bloom is like what you see here where it is all stretched out and going over the edges so it doesn’t resemble what you initially blew out. A floating bloom keeps the integrity of the blow out and doesn’t go over the edges, like what I do with the gold background and then the bloom floating in the middle. I coined the term “floating bloom” to distinguish it as it looks like it’s floating so you probably won’t find it on google, it’s just my term for it 🤗. I’m so glad you enjoyed these two pieces my friend! 💜💜
