There is another art shope in London (3 locations), too. One of the locations is near the National Portrait Gallery. I can't think of the name...they also have Golden for a decent price. Do you know the one I am talking about? It is just like paint in a pot...you can brush or knife it on...or whatever you want. I suppose you could use a spoon and throw it on, too! :) You can use it just like acrylic paint.<BR/><BR/>Weird shots...well, you just can't help doing them. They can really turn out very cool! I like the idea of using them for journaling tools.<BR/><BR/>I just don't think I have gotten the hang of those metal bits!<BR/><BR/>It is nice to have you visit me when you are so busy!<BR/><BR/>Thanks Fiona.Andrea and Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15337904921232330088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5241393111022392313.post-70770557015600620822008-04-24T18:08:00.000-04:002008-04-24T18:08:00.000-04:00Hi Kim,That Iron Oxide looks so cool!

I love to do that! I find it useful as a kind of journal tool and it can inspire me.<BR/><BR/>That's funny. I was using those metal leaf flakes just the other day! I love them! It was a sort of pseudo iconography thing.<BR/><BR/>It's nice to see what you've been up to and I'm pleased your Dad is recovering well! xxfiona longhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15894040931779859354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5241393111022392313.post-17417997379834960652008-04-22T15:29:00.000-04:002008-04-22T15:29:00.000-04:00Okay...now I am working on this play thing!

Whether due ...A response to first born's and play. Whether due to my first born status or my dour unplayful for the most part parents, I was not a playful person for a long while. Then I took some time with myself and purposely pursued play. And reenvisioned some things I already was doing as play. Such as browsing in used books stores. Going thrift shopping. etc. I taught myself to play. Learning how to make handmade paper, opened me to play with my craft in a big way. It is so freeing and fun and messy and you can't make a bad sheet of paper, it is true. Making paper was so fun and people liked the things I made too. I never sold so many craftworks as when i was making paper.sukipoethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09351851210507048174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5241393111022392313.post-20574581683123917302008-04-22T09:09:00.000-04:002008-04-22T09:09:00.000-04:00Hi San!As a first born, play is not easy for me, b...Hi San!<BR/><BR/>As a first born, play is not easy for me, but I am working on it! :)<BR/><BR/>Ohh, I love that...good as chocolate!
