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.

My first attempt at using resin to create a resin ‘painting’ wasn’t altogether successful due to my choice of paints, so today I am trying something new with a different way of coloring my resin. I will be using mica pigments left over from the days when I used to make soaps and cosmetics. Let’s …
