Sunflowers and Butterflies

by Claire Schaffrath

1 1

Artist’s Comment: This was a challenge for me as I never have much success with the color yellow so I looked for inspiration for color palettes online and found the photo which I also posted with it so I’ve called this piece sunflowers and butterflies…

I had to give some thought into how to layer the colors as not to get mud which often happens with yellow and black..anyway using the fluid bloom technique I layered as follows deep yellow, raw sienna, beige/sand follows by a black cell activator.

It helped to place that beige/sand before the black for sure and the base was a white silk satin house paint. I’ve made three of the same in varying sizes and have now resin-coated them and will hand them together to make wall art.

Accidental Contact

By Rick Schmidt

What Artist has to say about this piece: I choose wood panels to paint on, mainly for structural purposes. I layer resin and paint in my pieces where sometimes, there are up to 20-30 layers of resin…

I actually paint on the resined surface. I use a few very thin coats of resin to seal the surface, and then begin painting. Others use gesso, but I like to let the resin saturate and bond to the bare wood surface.

This piece is called “accidental contact” fitting for the time we are in right now, and also because of the fact that my lines accidentally collided in one small area.

For the Love of Turquoise

Who doesn’t know how difficult it is to draw a pour on wood. In fact, things get more complicated when you use a rare color like Turquoise. But this artist has done an amazing job by using a mixture of black, silver, and turquoise. The shine she has added to this wood pour is just incredible.

Elizabeth has used a perfect combination of colors to draw this tiny little bunny. She must have made a lot of effort to cut this wood piece so accurately. We’ve named it Rainbow Bunny because it’s a mixture of some rainbow colors.

Windmill Clock

by Ashley Elsberry

This is what artist says about this piece: I had a customer request a 28” Windmill so she could turn it into a clock. So I cut it out with my Jigsaw using 1/2” MDF wood and voilà!

  1. I’m new at pouring and having fun thanks to all you’ve taught me. One question- I have a huge stock of beads from making jewelry and would like to glue some of the tiny ones in strategic places, what glue do I use for thi?

      Hello. I haven’t done that, but I would use jeweler’s cement. The brand I get has two letters and cement for a name. Like C-R Cement. But I don’t remember what the letters are offhand and I’m at work so… but the end is very tiny almost like a yarn needle in diameter. So it’s easy to get just a drop. I think the box is orange? Again at work on break, so I just wanted to quick answer. 🙂

  2. Please, please, PLEASE….

    Can anyone advise on a sealant to use on coasters ….really pleased with my pours on wood and ceramic coasters but have tried so many sealants and nothing works !
    I need HELP.

  3. Hi, I thought I read in this article that you also tested medium to paint ratios & consistencies for “Unicorn Spit (although not an acrylic paint). I did not see that info during my initial reading so I skimmed back through the article to see if I might have just overlooked that info but now I can’t even find in the article where it was even mentioned. Am I overlooking it, did I imagine it being mentioned in the article, or am I just having a blond moment ( no offense to blonds, I’m currently a blond myself ). Can you please provide the recommended ratios & mediums used for achieving the right consistency for unicorn spit to be used when doing a pour? If I am overlooking it in your article, I do apologize for asking you to post it again.

  4. You might try epoxy. I use Total Boat Tabletop epoxy, and I’m pretty sure that will seal it up. Good luck!
