Tuesday Tips @ Ten: Glitter Menu

Hello everyone! It’s been quite a while since I’ve done a Tuesday Tip at Ten, but I have something fun to share with you this weeek!

In an effort to come up with a simple way to show customers which colors are available to choose from for their glitter body art, I put together these fun little glitter swatch cards. Check out this video to see what I used and how I made them!

Tuesday Tips @ 10: Labeling your Paints

Happy Tuesday!!! I took a little hiatus from our Tuesday Tips at Ten there over the holidays…partly because of holiday busy-ness of gigs, hosting family & my son’s 16th birthday & driver’s exam, partly because I ran out of tips (ha!), and partly because our sweet, goofy Great Dane “Wahoo” passed away unexpectedly at just 5 years old, sucking away some of my Christmas spirit and motivation! BUT, I’m happy to say we have adopted a new fur baby (Teddy the Sheepadoodle) just in time for Christmas, all the holiday activities have died down, and I have a couple more tips in the hopper! SO, this week I bring you a tip for labeling your paints! Who doesn’t want to get their kit more organized in the new year?! Next week I’ll continue with another good tip for organizing your paints in your kit, but for now, here’s how I’ve labeled my paints in the past and currently!

Also, in case you missed it, since I’m taking a break from Wet Paint Magazine, I’ve brought back my free monthly e-newsletters! This month’s newsletter on the topic of self confidence as an artist has already gone out, but you can subscribe to future issues or download past issues here!

Tuesday Tips @ 10: Stencil Trick!

Happy Tuesday! Here’s a little trick I used when painting a Christmas sweater on my son a couple days ago for my Christmas cards! I love that he still lets me do this! This year I used a lot of fun stencils to speed up the process, and finished it all in 1 hour and 20 minutes (photo below). Have a happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Tuesday Tips at 10: Time Timer

Hello everyone and happy Tuesday!! This week I’m going to share this cool “Time Timer” that I use to let people know how long I’ll be gone if I’m going on a break! This is a great tool for those of you who work really long gigs or fairs/festivals solo.

Click here for time timers on Amazon!

To make that cover piece, I designed a graphic with a circle the size of the clock diameter, print it and cut that hole out. Then I laminated it, placing another printed cutout of my logo in the center, so it would all be one piece with a clear plastic window! Then I put some adhesive backed velcro on the bottom corners, left an extra laminate flap on the top, folded that over and duct taped it to the back. It works great and the cover helps keep kids from messing with my timer while I’m away. I used to use one of those “be back at” signs with a clock and moveable hands, but they just get played with!
