Hello all I will be liking to Julia Dunnit blog
stamping-ground.blogspot.ca
Julia's blog has the best blog hop in blogland so grab a cuppa
and enjoy the hop..
I have a lot going on but want to tell you the recipe to make
your own gesso, I did and I love it..
I used a small jam jar which you can see in the picture .
One part white acrylic paint
one part baby powder (talc)
half of one part modge podge or white glue.
Then stir, stir, stir, stir, till it's all mixed together.
TADA you have gesso.
Mine is thick but I can pour it, I'm going to make another jar
but thicker this time so I can use a pallet knife, just going to add more
baby powder, thanks for looking and have a wonderful day..
NAMESTA!!!

Is your desktop glass like mine? I love working on glass, don't you? You're tempting me to break my little vacation from my art table. ;) Don't have to twist my arm.
