I enjoy trying new techniques, so when I received these adorable Tim Holtz Mini Mason Jars in the Scraps of Elegance June 2015 Creativity Add On, I thought about a process I saw to create the look of seaglass on vintage bottles. This technique involves coloring clear drying PVA glue. Helmar's Super-Tac Glue is thinner than most PVA glues and easy to work with, so I thought I would color it with the Creativity Add On alcohol ink. Well, that didn't work out so well. If you ever made goop for your children with school glue and Borax, you have an idea of what happened. If not, let's just say, it congealed. ;-) What did end up working perfectly is the Shimmerz paint from the Color Add On.
Thanks so much for viewing!
