Love it! I have TONS of latex paint that I picked up from the local paint store that is called “oops” paints. I have dozens of cans that I use for painting flips and anything else. Now it’s going to be making this beautiful project you have here this weekend! I Love the stars, I have wooden ones that I was going to decoupage a paper photo of the family members that have passed away.

My thought and how I do it is scrape up the excess White House paint back into the container before I add the colors. I noticed you did it to the big one but could have easily put back into container.

@auntkaren12 Жыл бұрын

have you tried using a rubber tube for blowing the paints? seems like you would have a more controlled pattern.

Hi Claire, ty sooo much for teaching us, they’re gorgeous!! Quick question, normally I use a mix of floetrol and water (recipe from mixed media girl) or a 1:2 mix of paint and liquitex. Can I still use these for my colors for the baubles? Don’t think I can find that stuff you use, here in Belgium 🙈 And do I understand correctly that you pour a mix of floetrol and amsterdam medium at the very end without any paint in it? If so, could that been done with my floetrol/water mix or pure liquitex? Thanks in advance, have a nice week!

@claireschaffrath6630 3 жыл бұрын

Patricia Morias you’re welcome. My recipe I use is listed as a link to my fluid bloom video number 4 in the description under the video. If you have done the sheleeart course there is a European Facebook group which should be able to help you with products available in your country x

They are absolutely beautiful. What does the gloss varnish do in the pouring medium? also can you skip the varnish?

@claireschaffrath6630 3 жыл бұрын

shinnysood you can absolutely skip it it just makes the cells and colours more vibrant but you don’t need it x

@shinnysood 3 жыл бұрын

Claire Schaffrath thank you. If it is only to increase the vibrancy of colours so in theory any gloss varnish should work? I use liquitex gloss varnish, have you tried that. Also does the elasticity to the paints comes from the valspar ?

@claireschaffrath6630 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Sara I use a beautiful high quality bronze called Creall bronze acrylic and it doesn’t dull with the pm. I also use monte marte gold but I do not put a lot of pm in my metallics sometimes I may just add some jo sonya polyurethane gloss and that’s it..most of the cells are created with the cell activator Aussie floetrol x

Question, why don’t you put the Flotrol directly into your paints to create the cells? Also is your Amsterdam Acrylic just a white acrylic paint?

@claireschaffrath6630 3 жыл бұрын

This is the sheleeart/fluid bloom technique whereby you only put the Australian floetrol into the cell activator. This is not a regular acrylic pour. I am using house paint for the white base

Could you use keyboard compressed air to avoid any possibility of getting saliva in your ornament?

@claireschaffrath6630 Жыл бұрын

Hi Kim I wouldn’t worry too much about getting saliva on the ornament. You will be finishing the ornament once dry with a coat of varnish spray if you are concerned about any contamination. You don’t tend to get saliva on it when you blow out the bloom x
