World Of Michael Trent

Let me state right now...this is really a post for Brasilians since these sprays are only sold here but I hope everyone reads and enjoys this post. Vou te contar uma coisa agora..... Isto é para os brasileiros porque estes sprays são vendidos aqui mas eu espero que todos que ler vão curtir este post. A few weeks ago I went to the Mega Arts and Crafts show here in São Paulo. It is the largest arts and crafts show in Latin America.  I was very excited because I had seen an ad for a company called Full Colors .  They were promoting their new sprays called Pump Dye .  Now, the sprays I always grab for my journals and backgrounds are the Dylusions sprays by the ever fabulous and delicious Dyan Reaveley.  I love love love everything about these sprays.   I love the colors, I love the way they blend, I love how they react with water...the list is endless.  But, to purchase them in the states and have them sent here is just not cost effective. ...

I was so excited when I was asked to be part of this blog hop - a hop about the book by Stencil Girl herself, Mary Beth Shaw.  And, trust me, this is THE BOOK to have to learn mixed-media techniques to use with your stencils. I had to pick a technique from the book and put my take on it.  I kinda merged two techniques - Woulda Coulda Burn Wood page 18 in the book) and the Doodle Mania Bonus Project (page 77 in the book) - but I made mine into a Wood Burned StenDoodle! ********************************************* Before heading to the step by step - here is a list of the blogs to hit today!   StencilGirl Talk http://www.stencilgirltalk.com/2014/09/stencil-girl-book-week-day-2.html Janet Joehlin http://jjhappyreminders.blogspot.com/2014/09/stencil-girl-book-blog-hop.html Jennifer Priest http://hydrangeahippo.com/?p=8248 Michael A.
