A long time ago I bought stuff to make my own shimmers paint, but never did it. Well last night I thought, hey lets make some....
The only thing you need is some Metallic Folk Art Acrylic Pearl White paint and reinkers. How easy....and fun...I did try to use my alcohol inkers, but the color kinda globbed in the paint. You don't really notice it until you paint....
So here's a short short short video on how to make your own shimmers paint...Enjoy
Blog update...If you notice up the top I had two new links added. One for Video Series and the other Categories. Videos Series is where you can find all the series I've done so far and categories is coming soon. I also updated the FAQ page with frequently asked questions :) Hope you all have a great day.
Neat idea, as usual. The colors look very nice.
