Competition Closes on Sunday

You still have time until Sunday night 12pm to enter and win a Cotton Canvas Apron. The Lucky Number will then be selected, and the apron will be posted.
Just leave a comment on the previous post and you will stand a chance to win.


For the class at Hobby-Ex I wanted a certain colour paint for the Messenger Bags, so I mixed it myself. For the Tekkie Class in Delmas, I used the same colours. Here is my recipe: 5 parts white Dala Sunpaint and 1 part colour of your choice, except for the Navy and the Red. Their mix are about 50/50.
The brown is about 80% brown and 20% white.
Remember to cover your project with a layer of Dala gel medium and to spot wash softly with a soapy sponge.


Fatima Mangera-Minty attended my class at Hobby-Ex. This is her bag that she went home with, stunning! We did some decoupage, masking, foam stamping, rubber stamping and some paint spraying with the Dala Sun-paints.
All of these techniques can be used on the aprons.

TIP:
When finished spraying the paint, wash the nozzle of the spray bottle. By doing this, your bottle's nozzle won't clog up. Treat it as you would treat a brush.

Thanks for visiting!
