For Today’s Tidbit Barb from Joggles and I are working at an AirBnB in Sacramento, in the kitchen! We’ve got to keep the table protected from our art supplies and here’s how we do it!

For Today’s Tidbit, Barb and I took DecoFoil and Texture Paste and made an incredibly cool textured effect. This is something I like to use in my Funky Florals mixed media pieces.

This week Barb and I are using Golden High Flow Acrylic with a spray bottle to create unique spray paint effects without the mess and fumes of aerosol! The effects are fantastic!

NEW NEW NEW! It’s finally here… a set of foam stamps inspired by organic Art Nouveau artwork of Gustav Klimt. These designs pair with the recent Klimt Scribbles and Doodles set of stencils and masks–a match made in mixed media heaven!

This week, I stumbled onto a super fun technique using beeswax crayons as a resist on the gel plate—and it all started with my kids' crayon drawings!

This week, I’m exploring soft pastels on the gel plate again and discovering new ways to integrate those prints into mixed media projects.

For Today’s Tidbit, Barb and I took DecoFoil and Tacky Glue to the next level, using my Klimt Freeform Stencils to create stunning, loose metallic shapes in a spectrum of dazzling colors and patterns.

A simple technique for adding texture and pattern through low relief printing with a brayer over tissue paper. Fun, fast, simple, and awesome!

This week Barb and I are spraying Golden High Flow Acrylic through stencils and onto the plate with rubbing alcohol. We achieved some super fun and unique effects…. Every time different!

It’s always exciting to breathe new life into old supplies and discover unexpected results. Have you tried using pastels on your gel plate?

Is your gel plate covered in stubborn stains? Has it lost that perfect tacky surface that helps create crisp, beautiful prints? No worries—there’s a simple solution that cleans and conditions at the same time!

This week Barb and I are using mineral oil and Golden High Flow Acrylics to create a super unique bubble pattern effect on the gel plate. Layering it with itself or stencils to create collage papers that are AMAZING!

Get ready to experience something totally fresh with DecoArt's Wax Effects paint! This super cool, translucent medium gives you that dreamy encaustic look, but with all the simplicity of water-based acrylic.

Sgraffito is a decorative technique that involves scratching through a surface coating to reveal a contrasting color underneath. This week I am also incorporating Posca pens into the mix–positive and negative doodling!
