Ooh, those look really pleasingly tactile, I like the glued on beads, and I like your colours too, especially the flower stencils on the bin(?)!

That's a good challenge! I do this when I've mixed too much paint and am done on the og, as I have a few pieces going at the same time. Being able to see which era my stuff is from because they share paints is kinda cool.

Acrylic, plus a few coats of different “finishing” paints/modpodge/glow/glitter stuff.

Mixed into paints or just as top coats?

Mixing things into funky coloured art potions is so much fun, a good portion of my art process is just playing with glitter and mica and glowy stuff, ha ha.

Pva glue gets some really cool textures going when used over or under certain finishes, what were you using it for?

This is cool! What type of paint is there here? It looks like acrylic, and is the matte stuff poster paint or a matte mix in medium? I'm hella curious to see how this would rock tumble.

My art style doesn't really permit this sort of thing as I mix my own paints (pigments and binders) to my preferred quite runny consistency, and tend to work with a single colour at a time for each section, so palettes are kinda impractical for my purpose.

Before the heatwave hit, I made a bunch of really cool looking wycinanki (symmetrical paper cut out) flowers and then mixed a bunch of pigments up to paint each layer as I only had white card and none of my existing hundred or so tubes of paint were the right colour.

I came up with an interesting method too of using masking tape to cover and basically square off the back of each flower shape, so I could paint the other side without them sticking to my desk. I still need to run a scalpel around the edges to clean up some excess paint that didn't come off with the tape though, but that can wait till I've recovered from my flat being 45c yesterday.

It's a flat if it's one floor, owned or rented. 'Flat' is also easier to write, say, and spell too.

1 till I have to move, then it's 3 as I lose my mind to the heat and humidity.

I'm really struggling to imagine 'squirrel' said with a French accent, what happens to that 'rr' sound?

Americans basically did this with the English phrase 'each to their own', by saying 'to each their own' just to sound fancier. Then it caught on and now you all say it this way.
