Golden fluid acrylics
I finally bought some and am ready to learn how to use them. Seems like I read about other artists using them in so many ways and their colors are so bright and saturated which I love. I have tried to make do with my old student water colors and garage sale finds but now I want to get more serious with some paint. If I create anything I feel proud of I will post photos. Also bought some Golden Soft Gel medium and some UTEE. I'm dangerous now!

Diana Bracy said… - Jan, you and I communicated our mutual pleasures of exchanging ATCs. I just wanted all of our Fiber Arts friends to know that I simply love you little Aceo/ATC. There is so much detail in your work with the edge stitching, fibers, quilting, beautiful beads and wonderful colors! I am extremely happy with my little Art from you. Thanks, Diana

Donna Funnell said… - Hi Jan, There are two or three ATC's in my pic file. Two are African style, picture 8 and the other one is a mixed media one that is pink in colour. I would make a new one just for you if you still want to trade. Donna

Liz Welch said… - Hi Jan,
I love your use of colour, and unusual combinations of shape and pattern. If I managed to get you going again with Friendly Plastic, you have certainly given me food for thought with your design skills.
