Experimenting again with Golden Paints, Flow aid and Golden airbrush paints

Here are some of the paintings with flow aid by Golden and some paintings on the line up for rework.
Just when you think you are in love with a certain medium along comes another that you just want to paint with forever but being a multi medium artist, I just seem to go from one to another, falling more and more in love.

I worked on 2 small paintings last week with the flow aid for the first time in the series of the lake scenes and mixed the water with the flow aid first, then added the paint and then applied to the canvas. These turned out nice but I found there was a lot of wastage after I had mixed the flow aid and paint so this time I added the flow aid with the water and let it bubble a bit and then applied it to the canvas without any colour and took clean brushes for each colour and dipped them onto the wet canvas. Amazing I all I can say.

Now for those of you who know me, it is going to be very hard for me not to add too much detail to these babies because I am a sucker for details. But my daughter Sam will stop me this time I am sure as she is with me for the weekend.

What I think I will do the pouring medium over the top to pop these wonderful colours.

Sewing machine drawers

I found these sewing machine drawers at the curb last summer and have been debating what to do with them. I may try to sell on and keep the other for a project....hum so many projects....what shall I do? I love the detail on each of the little drawer pulls and one of them has this little detailed corner which is so cute. the bottom of this one lost it's veneer After some research on some of my blogs that I visit I found some great ideas like this one by Mamie Jane's Here is another idea to use the drawers for from http://www.etsy.com/listing/65855791/salvaged-vintage-sewing-machine-drawer?ref=sr_list_1&ga_search_query=sewing+machine+drawers&ga_page=2&ga_search_type=all&ga_facet = Or this one from http://www.etsy.com/listing/63700962/vintage-oak-sewing-machine-drawer-with?ref=sr_list_19&ga_search_query=sewing+machine+drawers&ga_page=2&ga_search_type=all&ga_facet = another real cute design for candle holders f

End of a collection #Breweriana

For years my hubby and I collected Breweriana items. It started with beer glasses and within a year or two without realizing it, we had over 100 displayed in our A frame window ledge. Then it was coasters from every bar or restaurant we visited. The next level was Beer trays which we eventually sold off. This all started when we were making our own beer even managed to find the old quart size bottles and the cases. As with most collections it grows without even noticing. You know it's out of control when you need to clean over 100 glasses, twice a year. We still pick up glasses, coasters and trays here and there but more for reselling. This is the last bit of the collection that we no longer display and all the coasters have a pin hole as they were mounted in our basement on our barn wood walls. They are in relatively good condition for the next collector to come along and purchase them. Poshmark.ca/closet/bpagani Thank you for checking them out. update this batch which had lots
