Fiber-in-Form Class : Adding Color

I know the class has been over for weeks already, but I'm still puttering away at the lessons.
I finally broke down and bought some of these Golden Fluid Acrylic Paints everyone was raving about. There were a bit pricey, but I have to say : Now I know how Lynda and Carol get some of the wonderful results they get. It's these magic paints!



The beauty of these paints is that you can layer them one on top of the other and they still let the "deeper" colors show throgh. Does that mean they're transluscent/transparent? The paints do all the work. They also stay fluid at 40 degrees Fahrenheit (which is the current temperature in my basement wet studio).

Here's what I did with them (These are all postcard-size samples.):

Gauze, PVA glue on canvas with Golden Fluid Acrylic paints. The interference Oxide Green gives it the BLING as the top coat. It seems to be a bronze base paint with some kind of iridescence in it. Very nice!
