Members Sporq Posted December 13, 2013 Members Report Posted December 13, 2013 If you want to play around with it, you can use super sheen as a resist too, since it's basically just clear acrylic. You just gotta let the piece dry overnight before the super sheen fully sets up as a good resist, even though it'll dry to the touch before then. I've had good results using this with the newer antique gels they have, but I don't have pics of anything because they were all just playing with some different techniques on some scraps while working on other stuff. I guess if you wanted, I could make a couple of demo pieces for ya to show what I mean. Quote
Members Lividya Posted December 14, 2013 Author Members Report Posted December 14, 2013 Thanks everyone. This is a lot of help! I think I will try with Angélus acrylic since I can order it online. I'm from motréal Québec, and have no clue what Joanns is :-) I'll show you all the result I achieve, all thanks to you! Quote
Members WinterBear Posted December 14, 2013 Members Report Posted December 14, 2013 JoAnns is JoAnn FAbrics and Craft Store. and the paint Tina was mentioning is the Americana brand. http://www.joann.com/deco-art-americana-2-oz-acrylic-paint-1pk/prd11432.html#start=1 It's inexpensive, but not one of the "cheap" acrylic paints. "Cheap" acrylic paint can be bought for about the same price as the Americana or less at hobby stores, but the cheap paints are awful--clumpy, inconsistent, gritty, streaky, poor bonding qualities, and just hard to work with. I think you'll like the Angelus. I had the chance to try some and very much liked it. I plan on getting some Angelus for myself, but not until the spring since my shippers would invariably leave the package out in the cold somewhere along the way, and frozen paint makes an awful mess (yes, personal experience here). Those who work with Angelus have been very well pleased with them. Quote I used to be an Eagle, a good ol' Eagle too...
Members Lividya Posted December 14, 2013 Author Members Report Posted December 14, 2013 Thank you for the info Winterbear. I have visited turtle feathers website and ordered some Angélus paint, along with a pretty nifty dye pen! I can't wait for the order to arrive!!!! Quote
