Hi all! This is a rather long video and I debating cutting parts, but for those who want to make functional art I thought the hacks contained herein might be useful; plus there's a cameo of Finn! : )). I am chatty Kathy though so you are forewarned LOL!! Anyway, I found these almost 12" clocks at Ikea; and decided they would be perfect for testing the drying conditions in the new studio.
In this video, I'm going to demonstrate how to avoid the "Drano Effect" when pouring on functional art items with cut-outs (such as numbers on a clock). The "Drano Effect" is when the liquid paint flows through the cut-out or holes in your substrate, often resulting in a less-than-perfect product.
This video is perfect for anyone who wants to learn how to make beautiful functional art!
I made a homemade pouring medium (see recipe below) and I did simple flip cups to make functional art and I am super happy with how they turned out! Don't be afraid of silicone! It's easy to clean and adding a barrier coat between the paint and resin will ensure a successful topcoat on the first try! Let me know if you have any questions--I'll be teaching a Flip It, Lip It, and Drag class at the Fluid Art Boutique April 1-3, 2023, in Santa Fe, NM if you'd like to check it out! https//:www.FluidArtBoutique.com
