Beautiful cover, inspired to get out my Brushos x

Great idea with the brushos! The cover looks really good, despite the mishap with the image transfer. I like how you incorporated the oops and made it part of the art work!

;-) I first thought about deleting this part, but hey, I am only human as well. Thank you for your lovely response. Hugs - Irma

Hi Renee, yes I peeked a hole in the caps, what comes out is more than enough! Start playing with them, I am addicted!
Thank you very much for your lovely response. Hugs - Irma

VERY BEAUTIFUL AND INSPIRATIONAL PIECE Irma! I have a couple of questions; what is "brusho" and what is the powder that you sprinkled in the beginning and then used water? this might be the same question. I went to the list on Donna's page but saw nothing of "brusho"? Thank you so much.

Dear Wanda, Brushos are the powder that I was using in the video. Brusho is a water soluable mineral powder (pigment) available in different colors. Maybe you can ask Donna to list them in her shop. These are sooo fun to work with!
Thank you very much for your lovely comment. I hope I could answer your question. Hugs - Irma

What a great idea! Thanks for leaving in the oops, I've had it happen to me but wasn't sure how to fix it. Love how you did it!! And those brushos look great!!! Was it modelling paste you put n first? Loved your project!!!

Hi Cheryl, yes I used modelling paste first. Thank you for your lovely comment! Hugs - Irma

Nice recovery! I am not familiar with Brusho, but I am going to get some. And I love the color and textures on your cover.

I really enjoyed your video and process. I went from not knowing what Brusho is to needing it right now. I hope to see more videos from you, Irma.

Thank you Carmen! And you will probably see much more "mistakes" in my videos :-/. Hugs - Irma

Thank you so much Teresa! Yes, you certainly have to play with Brushos!!! Hugs - Irma

Thank you for sharing this lovely video. I learnt about a new medium today Brusho.

Irma, thanks so much. I loved this video and the painting that you completed and used to cover the notebooks. I have never tried Brusho, will have to give it a go. I especially loved how you worked through a process that did not initially work. It really gave the painting texture and the brusho integration of color was perfection. Look forward to future videos.
