I have been experimenting with acrylic pouring on records for some time. Why? Because they are shaped in perfect 12” diameter circles, they can be a canvas, a clock, a door sign for a child’s room, you name it! I’m certain you can and have come up with other ideas by now (as I have). They’re …

It’s that time of the month again when I take part in the Acrylic Pouring Challenge. Our #FebruaryPouringChallenge was set by Meghan of Ethereal Orb. She set an interesting challenge this month without telling us which colors or which techniques we should use, and left much more open to our imagination. I’ve not yet seen …

One of the things I love the most about our chat group is how inspiring it can be, and how people so openly share their ideas, results, experiments and more. One such case recently caused a storm of excitement in the group when Bobbi shared her ‘eye’ painting. She hasn’t let on how she created …

Spinning My Pastel Paints on a Rectangular Canvas Read More »
I decided to go far, far outside of my comfort zone in terms of color palette today. Usually I like either dark, rich colors, or strong bold colors with a lot of contrast. But looking through my collection of paints, I do have some lighter colors, some pastels. They almost look like Spring or Easter …
I overestimated how much paint I needed yesterday for my first spinning record pour so I had about a third of a cup left over for trying out something else today. And when I had so much fun with the spinner on the last pour, why put it away! A smaller project today, pouring onto …
I’m going round in circles again today, with a simple record pour in a nice selection of blues. Except it’s not so simple. It’s the first time using my spinner. I’m rather nervous. I’ve bought one of those cake decorating turntables. It doesn’t turn very quickly and can be a bit noisy so sorry for that …
