As always, so much to ponder in your post Carolyn - an inspiration to try new things.

I can really sense your creative enthusiasm.<br /> I already knew that you were a very talented artist but not an alchemist aswell Lol!<br /> Speaking as someone that normally uses gesso mainly to cover things up I am loving these alternative ideas.<br />The book you are working from seems really good for using things that most artists would already have in their stash . Sometimes when you get these books you have to go out and buy all sorts of supplies you will probably never use again.<br /><br />I love that little quote about the washing on the line too.Carol Rigbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00345128330586224856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7304535898968644093.post-51850878080214380132017-04-07T08:40:36.218+01:002017-04-07T08:40:36.218+01:00Wonderful post - I've had a tub of Gesso, and ...Wonderful post - I've had a tub of Gesso, and one of matt medium, sitting on my shelf for ages, and I got them out the other day for a 'play'. I'd never used them before but it was great fun using them for a simple collage - but look at all the other ways Gesso can be used! I feel another play session coming on! Some beautiful work on the St Ives Textiles - it's going to be a stunning exhibition.
