See how to use Collage papers to create an Old World Clock Face

This is the Olde World Lilacs clock that will be in the Spring edition of Paintworks. I thought I would share the process for developing the clock background. (Click read more to see the step by step process) (Note you’ll have to wait for the Lilac pattern and directions until Paintworks comes out.. but we can hook you up with BOTH collage papers and your clock so you’ll be ready to paint!

Patty’s thoughts on So Soft Fine Glitter Paint from DecoArt

December 7, 2011 by Patricia in Creativity, Painting

When DecoArt introduced this line of paints called So Soft Fine Glitter, I kinda did a little eye roll… I have alot of paint and alot of glitter and I don’t do much fabric painting in my world of Decorative Painting..  Sooo….. I pushed it aside. Then while I was at Hoot (Heart of Ohio Tole Convention) a lovely artist named Debra Welty had some T-shirts she had painted that had the BEST sparkle to them.. low chunk gorgeous GLAM! And after I asked permission to touch  the shirt I saw that it doesn’t come off.. This was amazing.. so I took some out last week… played around with them… The So Soft Fine Glitter is glitter suspended in a paint and medium, it stays flexible like the So Soft paints do and  you can layer them over painted surfaces… One coat gives you a little sparkle a few coats.. MAGIC! Sometimes you need  ”GLITTER” and sometimes you need sparkle… I love that if you do wash this the product doesn’t come off and it won’t shed like some glitters do. Hands down I am a fan and am making excuses to use these great products, How would the Dog look with some So Soft Fine Glitter on his curly coat? LOL>… Come here Freckles! Patty
