Hair Dryer = PERFECT BLOOM?? Acrylic Pour Bloom Clock

What an explosion of cells and lacing!!! I’m so excited to discover that the secret for large, full blooms (for me, anyway) is a hair dryer! Usually I see people blow out blooms by mouth, but for me I can’t seem to get it quite right. This little MHU travel hair dryer (WITHOUT the concentrator) worked incredibly well to spread it all out and make tons of cells! Thanks ‪@lisamarvinart‬ for the inspiration! Check out “take two” here, where I NAIL the color balance!    • WHOA! Giant Southwest Bloom Pour 😍 Making ...   This clock uses the “bloom” technique and recipe, created by ‪@Sheleeart‬. Here’s how I mixed my pouring medium!    • Mixing A Pouring Medium For SheleeArt Bloo...   Pillow: Glidden essentials eggshell interior house paint, in white Payne’s Gray (Blick Studio Acrylics) Alizarin Crimson (Blick Studio Acrylics) Caribbean (Apple Barrel) Metallic Copper (Creative Inspirations) Gold (mica pigment) Cell Activator: Amsterdam Black mixed 1:3 with Australian Floetrol Invented by Shelee Carruthers, the SheleeArt bloom technique involves three different pieces: 1. A “pillow,” usually house paint straight from the can. Eggshell is best but any sheen should work. 2. Paints or mica pigments, mixed with a specific pouring medium, recipe above! 3. A “cell activator,” usually Amsterdam paint mixed 1:3 with Australian Floetrol. If you can’t afford that, try Amsterdam Titanium White mixed 2:1 with water instead!
