Paint Pens: Custom Art Cell Phone Case Tutorial - Make Your Own - video

Happy Saturday everyone! 

Been really enjoying those paint pens. I just received a clear silicone cell phone case for three dollars Canadian and decided it too needed to be beautified. So  I got out my assorted brands of Acrylic paint pens, Toole-Art, Ohuhu, Artistro, and Aroic. So not only do you see how these pens work on yet another surface, you can see how easy it is to create a one of a kind cell phone case. It has an original work of art on it. You could decorate it however you want to. It would make a great gift. You can draw words or a name, whatever you desire.

If you are seeking free shipping inexpensive cell cases,  just do a search on Ebay - I select Free Shipping and the Buy Now tabs.

Learn With Me - No Yupo? Creating A Substrate (surface) For Alcohol Inks

The past few weeks, I didn't have the ever popular Yupo "paper" and wanted to create a similar surface so I could use my alcohol inks. Yupo paper is not actually paper but polypropylene sheets that are nonporous. They are used a lot for alcohol ink painting. Now that I have tried the real thing, I can see why artists use it. Colours are bright and bold, no bleeding or absorbing, just pure pigment flow.

However, aside from being able to use alcohol inks on other nonporous substrates or surfaces, I thought hey, I can create a nonporous surface using my acrylic medium and/or gesso and such. Nonporous means a non absorbent ssurface so the inks can move and flow. You can see why when you put a drop on cardstock or paper, a porous surface and see how it wicks up the ink. The fun and beauty of alcohol inks is what the do when the meet each other. Far different than any paint I have ever worked with. Try it and you will see why this medium is so addicting!

Come see what I did and maybe you could use these ideas too.

Polymer Clay Journey: Solution Time - Two Ways To Soften Hard Clay

If you are using polymer clay then you may have already come across clay that was too hard to knead or condition. Eventually, you just give up and want to chuck it. Well, don't give up yet. I discovered through various tutorials and experiments that it is possible to soften clay and even make stiff clay, easier to use.
Watch my short tutorial below!

So next time you need softer clay, you know what to do! Now if your clay was

sitting in the sun and is hard, then I don't think it can be re-softened because it was most likely slightly cured or baked already. Keep clay away from heat.

Avoiding hard clay...

Buy clay as fresh as possible and keep open clay in polymer clay safe storage containers, cling film and such. I do use foil and wax paper some times.

Keep away from sun and heat.

Be inspired!
