American Crafts has come out with a new line of color pouring items available at JoAnn. I know they're not the originators of the trend but it looks pretty easy because their paints are already the right mixture. I'm considering trying it out. I especially like the idea of adding glitter and foil flakes. Anyone else into this right now? https://www.instagram.com/p/BmJLsuLl7tL |

Jen Schow just posted some pictures on Instagram and mentioned a video that I want to check out. I kind of love the look and want to check it out.

My brother's partner has been doing this a while. I will show him these products.

i saw that jen schow had uploaded a video about it but haven't watched yet. i know my daughter would really love it but i'm too awkward; what i'd end up with is a giant mess, all over me, the floor, probably at least one cat, and whatever it was i was trying to make. i know my crafty limitations!

Not something I’m into - I definitely know my crafty limitations.

It would be great if these products make acrylic pouring easy. I tried it once, and I made a disgusting mess.  |

For me, the mess vastly outweighs the results. Thanks but no.

I did this recently with a bunch of kids, i am a pretty messy crafter, but this wasn’t too bad.
It was super easy to make the mixture, just half paint /half flood additive and a few drops of coconut hair product that had dimethicone in it.
They really turned out amazing and it was super fun. The price would have to be right for me to buy, the way we did it was pretty darn cheap.

I haven't done this in years. If it's not too expensive and made available internationally, I might actually buy some and have some pouring fun! It's not difficult or super messy, ladies! I am super distracted by AC cutting off the feet in that photo though.  |

I'll check out Pinterest, I'm sure I could find a diy recipe. It looks neat, I think the kids and I would have fun with that!

Didn't we use to do something like that at the fairgrounds years ago? Spin Art? You got a small piece of paper, maybe 6x8, and they put in in a spinner and you squirted paint (in pointy squeeze bottles) onto the paper as it spun around? I remember doing quite a few of those (back in the day...  ). |

I’ve been to three different classes put on by a local artist. One was just pouring, one was blowing with a straw to make flowers, and one was ocean waves. The artist thought pre-mixed paint was expensive to get here (we’re in Canada.) We mixed acrylic paint (even cheap dollar store paint works) with pouring medium, water, and a bit of gloss medium. I haven’t tried adding glitter. It was very messy, and it was time consuming to mix our own paints. It might be worth the money for pre-mixed ones.

We did something similar in my Masters program. We used acrylic paint and something else. It was really fun. Need to check this process out.

My dd & I have done this. Mixing our own, not with the AC line. It's super fun. We definitely want to do it again. Since I already have a ton of paint, we'll probably just mix our own. I'd love to know how the AC line works out though.

I'm tempted but will wait until they are at the warehouse sale in utah or show up at TM. Knowing AC the quality won't be great and they'll be incredibly expensive for what you get. Call me cheap, but I'd rather call myself cynical, lol.

in jen schow's video she said she had only enough paint to do 3 canvases, using one of the kits (4 bottles of paint). the canvases were 8x10. so there's no way you could make the giant canvas shown above using just one kit. they do sell larger individual bottles of color though.

I use to love to do pours when I was younger. Now, it is popular again and I haven't set down to play. I do have all the tools. No, I won't buy AC lines unless I find some great deals. Nothing against AC's new line. Just a frugal girl. I love the idea of the inclusions. I am looking forward to all the new techniques and innovations coming out for us pour fans.
