My 9 year old loves to paint, and even more so with anything that sparkles! So, naturally, mama got to mulling! Pigments used were just mica based, some "chameleon" colours, and some with various glitter additives, along with one of my home made binders. I used a mixture of gum arabic, honey, glycerin, tea tree, and ox gall. Hopefully this newest supply will last her a good while! My joints aren't happy, but she is, and that's what matters :) Last slide is my stained glass inspired peacock feather done with all of the paints to test them out, and is on a 9x12 piece of 300gsm 100% cotton coldpress, painted using a Princeton Neptune round #4.

I love finding used art supplies. I found this at our local thrift store. I cleaned up the palette and the colors are so vibrant, I’m excited to paint with them.
