Micro Glaze


1 Micro Glaze is a fixative. Use it to waterproof porous surfaces like paper, wood and canvas.
2 Use Micro Glaze as a mask. Coat the image then stamp over it with a big background or paint over it with diluted acrylic or watercolor.
3 Stamp with it for an excellent resist.
4 Make metallic rub ons by mixing equal parts of MG and Pearl EX
5 Take off the remaining paper from a transfer
6 Coat inkjet prints with it to completely protect them.
7 MG is an perfect buffing agent for paper, leather and much more
8 Protect journal and altered book pages from sticking to each other. A very thin coat will do over acrylic painted pages.
9 Use with Pan Pastel or chalks to create an oil pastel look. simply color then carefully coat over the area with Micro Glaze. You can even add your Micro glaze mad metallic rub ons over the top for an incredible pearly look.
10 Use MG to protect your Copic markers and retain better layering of marker color!
MG over any altered book pages to protect especially on foiled or encaustic collage

MG works great with Pan Pastel to increase the color intensity and set the pastels.

MG keeps acrylic painted pages from sticking to each other.

Here I used Copics, Pan Pastel and Micro Glaze on three Carmen's Veranda Salvador Dali images

Thanks for visiting

I love Chris Cozen's use of nature in her pieces so I am totally thrilled to have received this wonderful POD stencil set from Artist Cellar . BTW Chris's new book with Julie Pritchard is incredible. This coming June, Chris will be teaching at  Spokane Art Supply  and I cannot wait to see how she uses these stencils! When I get a new stencil I like to see how they look just outlined in black so that is always my first step. Once I saw this I knew I wanted to draw them in pencil in mass. Come back and see this as a full page in my doodling journal later this week. I use a lot of figures and I make my own templates sometimes  using magazine cutout and them painting them with plain acrylic on both sides then coating them with matte medium and then  Micro Glaze . This makes them tough like vinyl and the Micro Glaze keeps them from sticking together. If I end up loving the image I cut out a REAL stencil from acetate. These two look kind of beat up but they ...

Pages with Distress Oxides and Crayons

So last week Tim ( http://timholtz.com/tim-holtz-products/ ) sent me a bunch of Distress Oxide pads. I was curious and wondered how they were going to stack up against all the old pads I had loved for like more than 20 years. Well I was very pleasantly surprised and pleased. The colors are great and the blendabilty was excellent! This is a fusion ink which has properties of dye and pigment. I have always loved that the color line of all Distress products has a good array of neutrals which many stamp pad lines do not have. When I put the first color down I thought they felt a little dry but I was working on Mixed Media Strathmore paper so any pads would feel dry. I put a couple more colors down and pulled out the awesome Distress Sprayer. I really like this Sprayer!!!!! It's very easy to use and that little on/off button makes it great for travel. Once I started spraying I could see what the fuss is all about. The colors blended really well ...
