    Very cool. Did you use a medium under the paint - paper?

    I'm itching to try mixed media - paper - 3D - mess  - with paint.

    Hi Fire,
    All my usual mish mash of tissue paper, kitchen roll squidged on with a watery white glue ( I dont have a hot glue gun yet ) then when that dried, I mixed up white glue, water, white acrylic and polyfiller, like a homemade Gesso only thicker. I got into a lovely mess,but I think the next project will be using the same,but black acrylic.

    Its nice to be able to buy cheap canvases nowadays,it gives you more freedom to experiment without thinking of cost.
    I'm using water colours with metalics,oil and acrylic, pastels with baby oil, glass paint outliners,plus fabric paint. Yesterday I did a birthday card with coffee.
