As always, Alison, you have great ideas. Your cards are works of the heart.

So beautiful! Thank you. I really want to tell you that after learning from you how to clean and recycle my used acrylic paint brush water, it has become a basic and very easy habit for me now. I have two 5 gallon buckets with lids, one in my art room and one in my garage. I have a nice little set up in my garage that makes it so easy for me to do. I pour the filtered water on my flower garden. Thanks a million for educating us about this important responsibility. Happy New Year!

Thanks Alison. I’ve used posca pens for years. When the nib dries out I believe you can reactivate it by first shaking the pen well until you hear the mixing ball moving and then pressing the nib strongly down into the paper a few times to get the paint to flow down again. Hope this helps.

Oh, how delightful! I love it all! One thing with interference paint is that when it is applied over a dark color, it will reflect a different color, depending on movement or angle! Stunning once you can figure it out! I first noticed it on a piece in an art gallery years ago and I am still playing with it! And try to find some adhesive for leaf and foils. It has to dry until it is tacky before adding the leaf. It actually makes it even shinier! Doing it on a hard surface for substrate, over several layers of gesso that has been sanded smooth and it is amazing! I recently bought some real gold leaf but I haven't gotten to use it yet. It is so thin!

thanks for the tip on foils! Good luck with your gold foil....
