![]() I applied it on top of a pink Martha Stewart Multi-Purpose Acrylic Paint to give it more Umph and it worked beautifully. The actual product can be seen through the diamond motif with its see-through facets on the front of the package. First of all it comes in these amazing squeeze pouches which make it so easy to dispense. I recently ran across something that filled the bill at long last, it’s iZink by Aladine. Glitterbugs be proud and loud! Up to now I could not find an Aida friendly glitter paint that was easy to use, had good light to heavy coverage, a soft hand, and just plain looked good. Eyes are naturally drawn to sparkly and twinkling things and there is no reason to not use it. If you love a little or a lot of sparkle, I want to be part of your club because I think it is an important part of self-expression. Yes, that is gold leaf on the bottom scrap and I can’t wait to tell you all about it in the future! ![]() You can see how beautifully the Transparent Pearl Pen looks on paint and floss. The Inka Gold peels and falls off as did the Pearl Pen pearls. The bottom shows Inka Gold and Pearl Pen fails on unwashed and sized Aida. DMC floss was used to stitch the purple square on the left. At the top is Inka Gold on Aida cloth that is pre-washed and sizing completely removed. Examples of the awesome Viva Décor Inka Gold and Viva Pearl Pens. Here is another super cool thing about this medium, it comes in clear transparent! That means you can make dew drops on stitched flowers or add water droplets. ![]() You are only limited by your imagination. Since they come in a nice variety of colors and finishes, use for the center of flowers, flower petals, pearl jewelry on figures, or just gorgeous accents. They are self leveling so no unwanted curlicues on the top. There is a good amount in the tube and it is super easy to apply. These Pear Pens are AWESOME! If you want to add a pearl-like accent to your work, here is your product. Apply this to just about any other surface too. Give it a gentle little buff with a soft cloth to remove the excess and make it pop. Do not return it to the jar if it is touched. Then you can certainly stick your fingers into it if you wish to apply it that way (I found that was great fun!). Evidently this makes it possible for mold to grow in the container and who wants to deal with that mess! Use a clean instrument of your choice to get the contents out of the jar and onto a surface to work from. Something to be aware, do not stick your fingers directly into the paint in the jar. It has a beautiful sheen to it and a very soft hand. Of course it has to be fabric friendly, so you absolutely have to have ALL the sizing washed out of your fabric before you use it because if you don’t, the paint will just peel off. It comes in more than 20 beautiful colors and can be applied thickly or thinly depending on your preference. Inka Gold is more of a whipped paste which makes it very easy to control and apply and I think it is the beeswax that makes it so creamy. It is also a way to totally customize your work.īe still my heart because I love this media. Remember, adding paint to cross stitch creations is fun and a great way to add interest. ![]() That is not the end of the story! There are a few more products that work and look great on fabric and are happy to be all-purpose too. Gelatos and Derwent Inktense Color Pencils are great options and are fabric friendly, yet can be applied to other craft surfaces and that adds a great economy factor. I have discussed several different kinds of media that work on white 14 count Aida. What if you want to color that white space of sky with a beautiful blue but want to do something other than stitch the whole thing? Paint It! As a matter of fact, that is one of the reasons I favored it because white space is totally acceptable in a design. One of the very lovely things about counted cross stitch is every square inch of the cloth does not have to be covered.
