Eat Sleep Craft Repeat

Here are the four of us wearing the Aprons Loll had made for us, they certainly helped with some of our more splattery techniques.

Loll introduced Susan, Nancy and my self to to an acrylic art technique called an acrylic  Dirty Pour during our craft retreat.  For those that don't know what a Dirty Pour here's an example By Miabella Mojica .  It's basically pouring a number of acrylics into one pot with a little silicone oil and pouring it on a canvas, you then move the canvas until the whole surface is covered and use creme brule torch to create the cells.

 Just a heads up if you try this cover all your floors and your work surface it's really messy.
Now what we thought we would do is a little fun blog hop to see how everyone did.

This is mine and check out the others they are so amazing 😊


This one is a close up to show the cells
