Colourful Afternoon

Plastic egg cartons are great as paint holders.

I read about a batiking process from That Artist Woman using Elmer's blue gel glue. This is a "kid-friendly" activity, but it's a bit messy. Especially the painting part--but it all cleans up! I needed some table napkins, so I got a plain white packet of 12 at Target. I drew a coupla labyrinths, wrote some quotes, etc. and let them dry . . . for a week. Yesterday, I moved all my art stuff to the back porch, and had a creative afternoon. I followed Artist Woman's directions & watered down my acrylic paints, and painted. I hung up a line & here they are drying:


waiting for the final process of glue-removal. Stay tuned.
