Hehe it keeps me amused 
I have been playing with masking fluid and practicing birch trees. I will take pics tomorrow.
Someone also told me about a new online crafting thingyā¦it doesnāt launch for a month or two and I am sure Folksy wouldnāt mind me sharing as it is not a selling site. As far as I can gather, it is an online uninterrupted channel for demonstrations to watchā¦ here is the link
Jeanieā¦my face is available for viewing on the thread that saysā¦āthe face behind the shop name!āā¦
Can anyone help Paul from Paulās Art with this question, he seems to be having trouble finding his way around the forum. Iāve pointed him at this thread but he canāt find it.
Where has everyone gone? Was it something I said? lol
Hello everyone, I havenāt been around here for a while, Iāve been looking through the thread and enjoying the chit chat.
Hello @Louisa15 Iām here, just finishing a cuppa then Iām off to bed.
As for the acrylic retarder question by @paulsart, itās not something I use all the time but when I do I just get whatever one is available at the time, Iāve used Galeria and Windsor & Newton, Iāve also used one from a local craft shop that Iād never heard of before, they were all ok and done what they said on the tin (bottle)

Iāve had a busy afternoon / evening, my dad came for tea and then we went to the school summer concert. Just home now.
Iāve never bought acrylic retarder, my acrylics (liquitex heavy body and atelier interactive) seem to stay open long enough for me without retarding.
That looks very interesting Brenda, certainly worth a look when it launches.

morning allā¦raining here in South Walesā¦time to paint I thinkā¦
Lady Caroline is looking as good as ever, letās hope she finds a home soon.
Morning Brenda, itās overcast but dry here. Iām hoping for rain this afternoon for the garden, but I need it dry at 12 for the organised walk Iām leading, otherwise I doubt anyone will turn up!
Lovely and sunny here but the garden is wanting water.Hope itās dry for your walk Margaret.
wiki has info about using glycerine as an acrylic retarder,
that sounds interesting Tessaā¦mind you, being very often quite damp in Wales, I doubt if I would ever need it 
Hope the walk is going well Margaret, itās dry here so should be OK your way too.
Hereās my butterfly, dry, salt removed and listed in my shop.
Thanks Margaret ā¦ that would be nice, she isnāt happy in the store cupboard 
Hope you had a good walk ā¦
Waving everyone, Iām having another busy day, very hot here and my studio is baking so not getting the heat tools out today, but been very productive, all my errand done and some web work and helped my Dad with a little job at the cemetery which pleased him ā¦ and me 
Back later
