May 16th Photo-A-Day P
I was going to use Photo-A-Day P for paint pours. I am having so much fun with these things!! The color combinations are so COOL!!! I get all excited when I get large cells.

Floetrol (2 parts) Distilled water (1 part) I’ve also found that rubbing alcohol instead of water makes some great cells! Silicone (2 or 3 drops) Acrylic paint (1 part) I’ve started using ceramic tiles which I can wipe off easily if I don’t like the design. Paint Pour was my first choice, then I remembered I…
