Clay Bubble Base Project
How it Works:
Take a wheel thrown hollow “bubble” of clay and embellish it to become something totally yours. Make it a jar, a pumpkin, a fairy house, an animal… The kit includes a hollow leather hard bubble of clay, a small ball of clay for add-ons to the bubble, and basic tools. Many household items can become great clay tools too!
One piece per bubble of clay ordered is included, but if you make more pieces with the clay you’re provided, extra pieces will be fired for $5 each.
All tools must be returned in order for your piece to be fired.

All-Over Colour
Painting cabinets and walls in the same or similar shade can look very striking, as this British Standard kitchen in Setting Plaster and Templeton Pink proves.
If you’re feeling bold, you can even bring the floor in on the fun – scuff-proof Modern Eggshell is tough enough to withstand everything from muddy feet to spilt milk.
Pretty in pink

Keep it in the Family
Creating a palette with shades from the same colour family is a great shortcut to a beautifully cohesive scheme. This light, bright country kitchen features pale grey Blackened on walls and the slightly stronger Pavilion Gray on cabinets, with a dramatic Pitch Black island for a grounding effect.
The same principle applies in this inky blue kitchen. Using intense blue-black Railings in the lower half of the room and on the eye-level shelves adds structure and drama to lighter De Nimes walls without being overwhelming.
Soft Contrast

Go Bold
For a really striking look, don’t be afraid of unexpected colour combinations. Sulking Room Pink walls and Paean Black cabinetry make a bold, beautiful pair in this contemporary kitchen, where a simple wooden worktop and sleek fittings step back to let the rich hues of the walls and woodwork shine.
If you prefer a lighter touch, you could try swapping Paean Black for De Nimes, as the owners of this compact kitchen-diner have done, for an effect that’s lower contrast but still high-impact.

Celebrating Christmas
by Kayce Leigh Starnes
These Christmas balls look stunning, don’t they? Kayce really deserves appreciation for putting in so much effort. She says that she was initially trying to paint the balls from inside. But after several failed attempts, she decided to pour on the outside and it went perfectly fine. Kayce used cake pop sticks to keep the ornaments in place while pouring on them.
You may also try this method to keep the balls vertical and raised. These black ornaments are really interesting. And you can also get them from different online stores.
Christmas Tree Star
by Jeff Stocker
It’s one of the most amazing holiday pours we’ve seen so far. We’d like to appreciate Jeff for sharing such an amazing piece of art with us. You should also show your holiday pours to the group members and see what compliments you get for your work. Jeff wasn’t quite satisfied with the pour but when he shared it with the group members, he realized that people found it quite interesting.
So, it helped with boosting his confidence levels and he started trying some new and unique ideas afterward.
White Christmas
Julie is an incredible member of our Facebook Community. She always inspires everyone with her artwork. We’ve included many other pours of Julie in our previous blogs and we’re pretty sure that she’d continue appearing in our future blogs as well.
In fact, you may also get a chance of getting featured in our upcoming blog if you continuously publish your beautiful in our Facebook Community Acrylic Pouring. We’re always on the hunt for some beautiful artworks. And we’ll be more than happy to share your work with our audience if we found it interesting.
After being told in high school that she was so bad at art that she should switch to another subject, Deby didn’t paint again for 35 years. Then a stroke released a new wave of creativity and she began exploring with dot painting, abstract and eventually acrylic pouring, and at last the joy of working with color returned. You don’t need ‘talent’ to be an acrylic pouring artist – just enthusiasm, some basic instruction, and a willingness to try, fail and try again. Paint along with her and learn from her many mistakes, and you’ll soon make great art together.
