LOVE the Uni-ball Signo Broad UM-153 White Gel Pen!!!! I also get it at JetPens dot com and they sell them individually or in packs of 12. Surprisingly cheap at like 2-3 bucks for one and the shipping isn't bad either, PLUS don't you find it amazing how fast they arrive, especially coming "usually" from Japan! Anyway, had to throw in my agreement on the Signo! I bet I looked in every hobby, craft, super-store (ugh), and office supply stores in Nashville before realizing NO ONE carries them. ;)
I was wondering if there was a way to color gesso? I would like to make it more of a tan color. Do I just add some coler to it or is there a speacial way of doing it?
@zekehooper Coffee? I don't know if that's a good idea or not. I guess try it out for fun, but I think the coffee will be too thin to mix with gesso, and it'll make the gesso watery. But give it a shot, I guess! Experiment time! :D Tell me how it goes!
@nattym You are right. The coffee does make it more satery but the color is nice. I just wish the michaels here sold sketchbooks with menella colored paper, then I wouldn't have to go through this. Bt it is fun. I'll have to get the right color paint and try it agaian.
Not fair, you're the 2nd person this week to have quoted that price on the craft acrylics. Over here in the UK even the craft ones cost at least £1.50, which at the moment is $2.35!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What is the name of that black pen you held up Pippens or something? I was looking on Ebay and need the actual name so I can buy it from there hee hee ..your video made me giggle .. loved it
thanks for the review :) Where do you get punchinella? I loved your review and opinions on various supplies, thanks again. Do more videos :)) I just started with collage and maybe will have to buy some inexpensive paints. I was waiting due to cost .
@zendoodles I found punchinella on etsy, but I'm not sure right now on how common it is. If you type it into the search engine, and don't get any good results, try "sequin waste". it's another name for it. Hope you find some! It's a great tool!
I was wondering if you would write out a List of the craft supplies you featured w/the brandnames & post on the Info section- or in the Comments. I've tried going back & relistening several times & still not sure of them all... =(
I'd really appreciate this as I think you've suggested excellent materials & I'm just starting out w/my Art Journals/Collages & would love to try the items you've featured!
Thanks So much! - & hope you have a wonderful week!
i would disagree with you on the metal palette knives. The metal knives clean up easily by soaking. You can also sand them to shape and are much more flexible and enjoyable to use than the plastic knives. think of the environment.
How cool! Thanks for the advice! I never got to try the metal palette knives cause they're super expensive (at least in my town). I'll need to try them out and see for myself. Thank you! :D
Agreed! Plus, sometimes you can get metal cake icing spreaders in the kitchen section for less than you'd pay in an art/craft store. I found one in my grocery kitchen section for $2, and they work nicely as well. ALSO, would suggest thrift stores or yard sales for all kinds of cheap, and unique, art finds. Especially if you do mixed-media!!! I have gotten the most amazing, sometimes cool retro, art supplies, maybe not meant for art ;), in these places... and no landfill. ;) Recycle Reuse Reduce

@zekehooper Adobe color would be a good color. Or there might be a craft paint called "coffee". Glad you tried it! I bet that was fun :)

@zekehooper You got the right idea! To add color to your gesso, all you have to do is add paint to your gesso! Happy painting! :)

Thanks for the info! And if you have old tools, like brushes or plastic knifes, make a 3D art hehehe I guess you could glue it to a canvas.
I painted old brushes and they look nice.
