Inspiration By Sherry Matthews!  

 Here's a sneak peek of Sherry's upcoming post...

From Sherry: "Wanna see a happy accident? Y'all may know this already, but... if you do a background of Colorburst Powders and add modelling paste through a stencil, the colors bleed through and tint the paste too!" 

You can find ON SALE Color Burst Powders HERE! 

(You can use them in ways you might use mica powders too!)

Personalized Brushes!  

We love making these brushes for you! Here are a few that recently went out the door. I've heard a few people say they would be too pretty to use. Think of it this way, they cost less than two cups of coffee at Starbucks. You can also display them as is or altered. They make amazing gifts for art friends and swap partners too! Treat yourself! They are ON SALE right now too!
