Art Every Day Month-day 29

I'm finding myself very sad to be at the end of Art Every Day Month.
Maybe I'll have to continue it on my own...
and just visit my own blog.
Ha!

O.k., enough of that sadness.
Here is what is rolling through my head.
"Take Good Care Of This Moment."
or,
TGCOTM.
nah...
what about
TGC for short?
I know, I know, it's bad when things are rolling through my head and I put it all out on the blog.
But I think it will be worth it.
Just think Linky Party for December to help each other through the craziness of the season.
Or, Linky Party at Blueskies!
Or, Linky Party to help us not lose our minds during December and get caught up in stuff we really don't want to and if we did, we have a place to come to get a breath of fresh December air.
Just keep tuning in and I'll have it all worked out tomorrow, how's that?!!

On to art work:


My eldest introduced me to a product called Misket, or Liquid Frisket.
I like the name as it reminds me of Peter Rabbit.
I'm telling you, I'm pretty tired today!



Anyway, it's a liquid that you apply to your substrate and then paint over it.
It's also advisable to let the paint DRY before taking off the frisket, as seen above.


Use a small eraser to take off the frisket. It's a very thin rubber-cement like texture when it dries.
I had a page in my practice journal that just had color on it and then I applied the Liquid Frisket and let it dry and then painted black over it to help it stand out. My daughter has a knack of getting really clean lines with her lettering, and it looks beautiful.


Just be careful with your brush, because mine ended up looking like this.

Have a great day!

  3. it is really amazing...all the techniques you get to try and share with us.
    I wouldn't even know the first thing about painting and layers.
    It is really cool to see what you do.
    My problem is patience I want to have an instant gratification moment.
    Maybe that is why I never could sit and paint.
    LOL
    Take care.
    Go get that fuel venti size and wake up ;)

  7. I love when you think out loud. You just make me laugh!

    I am sitting (lying down in bed) in Rochester and I think I have the flu. Jud is getting a Pet Scan. We are at a friend's house and I hope I haven't infected her...or Jud.
    Ah, life. Yes, I like your idea of a Linky Party to get through December!!!!

    Hugs,
    Sue

  17. Thanks for this product share (I'm writing it down) as I had something like it once but I left it on too long (I was afraid of my picture I think) and it wouldn't come off. These days I'm bolder with my art, so I've been thinking about something like this to try again, and here you share exactly what I need. Isn't it nice how that works out? Love the way it looks in your journal!
