    Well I had (several) mishaps which ended beautifully…with experimenting along the way. I started a drizzle Collage Pauge plate on a transparency sheet with “matte”. Then remembered Traci saying to use “glossy” so it self leveled. So I added 2 colors of paint to tint then smoothed with palette knife (like in making a skin). Several attempts to add texture didn’t work too well because it wasn’t thick enough like molding paste. Smoothed again and pressed in a lace sticker several times. When dried, painted back with Golden Iridescent Copper and highlighted the front textures with colored rub on stuff (don’t know what it’s officially called). Don’t know what I’ll use it for but the pieces came out pretty cool!

    Very nice….I haven’t yet tried making an acrylic skin but plan to try soon!

    Sharon..love reading about your process. It’s great that you are “playing” and “experimenting” with the techniques. Collage Pauge is too fluid to hold a crisp texture, I definitely recommend molding paste for that. This turned out lovely. I have some of those metallic creamy paints too, but I forgot what they’re called. The piece you created would be great stitched to create a cover or pocket on a journal.

    Traci- looks like fun! I’m not much of a fabric person but would love to try this…where do you suggest buying silk? I noticed Michaels has this…it’s costume polyester silk, would that work or something else? http://www.michaels.com/crafty-cuts-costume-silk-white/10175817.htm…

    Robin..I can’t tell what the weave of the fabric looks like from the photo, but it might work. Use a 50% coupon 🙂 I would recommend going to JoAnn fabrics if you have one close to you. sometimes you can find small remnants that are less expensive. You can also buy 1/4 yard of various fabrics to experiment.

    Traci, have you ever made your own sprays to use with your stencils/plates?

    Reply by Traci Bautista on September 23, 2014 at 10:44am
    Sally..Hi. yes.I’ve used both Golden Fluid and High Flow acrylics and Colorations Liquid Watercolors. I’ve talked about it in my previous workshops and books. There is no specific recipe I use. I just add a little fluid acrylic to the liquid watercolors. This helps to make the watercolors permanent. You can also add water to Fluid Acrylics but it’s not my favorite way to make sprays because they often get stuck in the bottles. It helps to have a marble in the spray bottle if you are using colors that have mica pigments int them.

    Thank you for the information. I may experiment with making a couple of my own sprays of my favorite colors.

    Love the idea of adding some fluid acrylics to the watercolors to make them permanent…do you have any idea if this would also work with Dylusions sprays and/or Distress reinker sprays? Do you simply put a similar color of acrylic with them?

    Reply by Traci Bautista on September 23, 2014 at 4:03pm
    Yes..you can add fluid acrylic to any waterbased media to create a more permanent paint. Just keep in mind it will change the color depending on what you mix in. If you’d like the color to remain the same, try using an acrylic fluid matte or gloss medium or glazing medium. You can also mix watermedia with various textured mediums…gel/fiber paste/molding paste/etc.
