You can do ANYTHING. Don't let anyone rattle your cage. <br />Oils are no different than anything else, and you can always paint over, or wipe/scrape off anything you don't like. They are so luscious compared to anything else: the depth of color, the buttery feel, the way you can go back the next day to change something. It's all lovely. Go back to my former blog posts to see paintings that aren't perfect, but fun.DJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12087407225185566830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5039030048391705293.post-86323613766146779092010-05-15T18:52:44.626-04:002010-05-15T18:52:44.626-04:00Oh enjoy it is a fun medium hugsOh enjoy it is a fun medium hugsSandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11528561805161511499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5039030048391705293.post-69350676047678842042010-05-15T18:07:21.373-04:002010-05-15T18:07:21.373-04:00Your lettering is so great.

These are on my "play list" to make and do and play with, this summer. You give me way too much inspiration for me to contain!!! (Oh, and i want to frame the calligraphy "Paper Pumpkin" you wrote on my package! LOVE it!)♥Kathryn Zbrzeznyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13349204621261800313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5039030048391705293.post-56974480492175395102010-05-15T07:29:18.168-04:002010-05-15T07:29:18.168-04:00Hi Martha!

If you do it when it's dry, doesn't the texture create a challenge?<br /><br />I'm guessing you do it wet.<br /><br />This looks like fun; I'm going to try it next week!Kim from Hiraethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16593935060666484046noreply@blogger.com
