What are Prills?  Prills are highly pigmented beads of color that one can create wonderful art with!  Whether you do a whole art piece with Prills or you use them to add dimension and texture as accents, Prills are the distant cousin to mica flakes. I am currently working on some detailed projects with Prills, so in [...]

Lifelong Friends Assemblage

Posted in 101 Heavy, Design Team, Embellishments, Fluid Acrylic Paint, Mica Tiles and Shapes, PPA (Perfect Paper Adhesive), Projects on February 9, 2012 | 5 Comments »

About a month ago, I used a photo stamp for the first time – Senior Ladies 3 1/2″ x 4 3/4″ (#8671) from Viva Las Vegastamps! – and created a card. Every time I looked at the stamp I imagined more and more about the two ladies it shows, sitting outside, side-by-side…. …They’ve known each other [...]

Gilded Imperfections on Burlap

Posted in Design Team, Duo Adhesive, Fluid Acrylic Paint, GildenGlitz, PPA (Perfect Paper Adhesive), Projects, tagged on February 7, 2012 | 4 Comments »

Hi!  My name is Sally Lynn MacDonald and this is my third post as part of the 2012 Design Team.  I hope you enjoy the project. I’m often drawn to experiment with surfaces in unexpected ways.  Sometimes the results are good — and sometimes the results are more of a ‘what not to do with xyz surface’ [...]

Posted in 101 Heavy, Design Team, Fluid Acrylic Paint, tagged on January 30, 2012 | 2 Comments »

Lea here once again to share some open-ended techniques for painting exercises.  I’m more a free-form artist so I like to PLAY, experiment, and see what happens.  Perfect Pigment Fluid Acrylic allows me the freedom to paint in whatever manner I desire!  If you like to paint with detail, or play with experimentation; this paint is [...]

Shimmering Koi Kimono With Mica and Gold Metallic Leaf

Posted in Design Team, Duo Adhesive, Embellishments, GildenGlitz, Watercolor Palettes on January 26, 2012 | 11 Comments »

Sometimes I feel more like a collector than a crafter. I see things, new and old, and say to myself, “Ooo! That’s so nice! I know I can make something with that!” I buy it and then it sits—sometimes for weeks, months or even years. That was this case with the Kimono stamp #2545 I [...]

Studio Paper Perfect Pigment Mono-Print

Posted in Design Team, Fluid Acrylic Paint, PPA (Perfect Paper Adhesive), Projects, tagged , , , , on January 19, 2012 | 5 Comments »

One of the best things about the USArtQuest Design Team is the ability to experiment. This project started out as an entirely different project for the Studio Paper and Perfect Pigment Acrylics.  I am not giving up on that idea, but in so doing – found this really flexible way to make mono-prints. Mono-prints are just that, a [...]
