Another paper journal excerpt, it's innocent.
So since the WTJ is in an unusable state at the moment due to paint needing to dry (I just did the "Drip stuff here, close the book to make a print" page), I figured I'd catch up here.
I spent entirely too much money in the name of creativity today. I bought my WTJ (came out to $14 after tax), AND $21 of art supplies at Wal-Mart (I needed a glue stick, and paint... then I saw colored pencils and neon crayons! Oh, and glitter glue!)
I almost went with this paint set that had sponges, but I was looking for more colors (that set had three). Found a set of finger paints instead. Same price and I got a fourth color!
So when I bought them I was expecting a texture similar to the tempura paints I used to use as a kid (and that was what I was originally looking for). Not so! I opened them and surprise of surprises - finger paints (at least Crayola ones) are a gel! Oh my God my print looks so cool. (And some of the paint got on the instructions but you can read it.)
I'm pleasantly surprised. :)
