My students just recently finished creating textured clay fish. My whole thought process was that I was not going to use glaze but buy several different colors of metallic paints. I was just going to go to the craft store with my 50% off coupon and buy a set of six. Well....that is what I thought but that is not what happened. There was not a set I could buy and each bottle was $3.99. I didn't want to spend the money so I waited until the next day to go take a look in my cabinets. This is what I found.....
Acrylic glitter glaze medium. No it is not metallic paint but it is different than just the regular tempera or adding modge podge to shine up the ceramic projects. Did I mention the kids loved the colors too (BONUS)! I just used a little tempera and more of the glaze and created my own glitter paint and a variety of colors.
Sounds like it wasn't a dilemma after all!
ReplyDelete:) Very true!
ReplyDeleteHi, I'm glad I came across your blog. It's lovely. We've all had the supply dilemma...One time I had to buy wire armature for a sculpture project I was doing with my fourth graders. I went to the my local art supply place and they were selling like 3 yards of wire for $12! Needless to say my 100 + 4th graders created their sculptures without wire that year!
