Why are Rainbow Colorants so good? Read the article below from Karen Sasine herself!

For those of you who aren't aware, Karen is the creator of the Facebook Group, Mosaic Mentoring. Although based in the US, this group provides a wealth of knowledge and very supportive advice, most of which is universal. I highly recommend it to any serious mosaicist. She also runs Rainbow Mosaics, and has been a member of The Society of American Mosaic Artists (SAMA) since 2005.

Karen's art is exquisite, and her knowledge is immense.

I will (obviously) not be packing orders next week. The website will still be open, as always, but I will be away from Monday, until Wednesday of the following week…

So pumped to be there.

Packing what I am taking up from here - 20 boxes in the chariot so far (Nearly out of room), plus a truck load of tools & Pal Tiya from my Supplier. Still have more to shoe-horn in. My son came up this weekend to give me a hand - couldn’t have done it without him!

New products, favourite ones, and new additions to current lines. Of course, they’re all heavy - but as the postie pointed out - not as heavy as 3 adults, so all should be fine. The tyres are pumped, and car has been cleaned within an inch of its life … thanks Peter!

Give-away packs, and a show discount! I've got me a sparkly new POS system as well. Thank goodness for my car’s great sound system, and a therma-cup for coffee!

Pigment packing day!

Play day!! I made this quick (10 mins max) little piece from ceramic and china, and painted the background with acrylic paint I made from Rainbow Colorants Red T26F with Acrylic Medium. I do intend to do a pored background., but this is just to show how it will look in the black frame.

Flowers from Made by Miranda.

Sorry about the glare.
