So, I then I watched this video again and saw that she was using another Pebeo Paint called Cerne. It comes in little tubes and it can be used for outlining or separating the paints. So, I got myself a tube of gold, black and silver. They come with two tubes on top.
The writing on the back is so small I couldn't read it and there were no instructions. I took the gold tube and removed the black cap, squeezed it, AND, the whole bottom of the tube blew out. I had gold paint all over my glasses, all over the floor, on my table, my clothes and in my hair. Since I'm still wearing a sling, my husband came in and cleaned the floor. Then he took me in the bathroom and used odorless mineral spirits to get the paint out of my hair. Wasn't exactly odorless. He could not believe what a mess this little tube of paint made.
Well, couldn't let it go. It was operator error so I took the silver tube and poked a hole in the top of the foil, put the tubes back on and tried it in the rectangle pendant. Worked great but I had to do two layers because the pendant was so deep. The green and midnight blue pendant has a black squiggly line down the middle. I don't really like it but I'm becoming the "MAD SCIENTIST" with all these paints. Pebeo also makes two other paints called Moon and Vitrail. Watch for upcoming posts about those two. Hoping I won't be wearing them.
Now, where am I going to store them?

These new pendants that you made with the paints are awesome!! Between the yarn and paints, not sure if you have any more room in your craft room! LOL Glad you are keeping creatively busy despite not having the full use of your arm!
Where did you buy the pebeo paints? Seems a bit expensive...wondering if you knew a cool spot for purchasing them...
Hi Anonymous, are you Kat?
I bought most of mine at Dick Blick but I know they have them at Hobby Lobby and Michael's.
Nope, I am not Kat. Just a long time lurker...and I just love your blog.
Hi! I usually don't comment or even read blogs, but I just discovered pebeo paints since I broke my leg (Easter Sunday at my mother in laws!). I usually make jewelry and whatever is new out there, but am handicapped with a giant boot and crutches, and my sweet husband moved all my art supplies around to make it easier for me to get around, so I don't know where anything is! I love the mixed media Pebeo Fantasy paints, but wasn't sure they would be compatible with Magic Glos. I've got pendants with Pebeo paint on the surface and a thin layer of Magic Gloss on top that are drying very slowly in my UV oven. Do you find the drying times to be slow? I may not have let the paints dry long enough before the resin. Anyway, it made me smile that you were trying to sling your sling while I try to my boot the boot. Feel better soon. ConnieQ in Austin.
Connie Q, if you put the resin on and don't the let the paint dry long enough, it wrinkles under the resin.
