:acrylic gloss medium

updated wed 19 nov 97

 

Barbara Lewis on mon 17 nov 97

I actually had a dream one night where I mixed colorants with Elmer's Glue
and painted a design on a plate, then glazed the piece with another glaze.
I have never had a chance to try it though. Still in my memory banks.
Sounds like a similar idea. Barbara

I tried using Elmers on some low-fire bisque as resist. Where I had wiped =
off
the glaze there were amazing, large bubbles everywhere....very
interesting...haven't tried to duplicate it but would be interested to hear =
what
results other may have.
