Decided to experiment with different paints for stenciling the Mehndi hand. I bought a kid's airbrush system for $7 at Michael's... the "Sprayza". LOL I don't want to invest in an expensive system I won't use a lot; but I will get one if I think I will do a lot. With the "Sprayza" you use your own breath... and I was almost hyperventilating, LOL...Things that I learned or remembered...
- biocolor is not the best for clear stenciling (the red) it blobs. So use it if I want blobs. :)
- acrylic paint works well with a stenciling brush and is pretty good for detail (the black)
- Distress ink with a foam applicator (the blue) is great for a dreamy look but you can't get into the nooks and crannies but I like the shadowy effect;
- The airbrush is good for fine detail (the green). And of course a better system would produce even better results.
I was also reminded of Mother Teresa and her humanitarian work, and that God is always in the reach of every hand...
A great start to the day! Good morning!!
