      I know, it surprised me in that movies don't usually touch me like that.

    I used INKS (specifically dye reinkers) on my baby wipes. Paint will change the hand or softness of the wipe, where the ink won't. I can see where paint might work, too. I'll give that a try one of these days.

    For some reason, I get much better results with DuckDuckGo. Maybe because they also include google images and items, too.

      I used cheap watercolors, which didn't alter the feel of the material much but didn't give me much color. I tried plastic wrap yesterday and used acrylic from a tube for that. I got much better color from that.

      Acrylics in a tube are SO expensive. I save them for art I make for other people. I look for cheap craft paints in little bottles that I find at Michael's and JoAnn's. When they have a sale, they are usually 50 to 75 cents per bottle. I simply won't buy them without a coupon OR their being on sale. They have less pigment, but are good enough for the work I do.

      I started buying reinkers when I ran across them at Mrs. O'Leary's (a local store that sells mixed media, red rubber stamps, and lots of goodies). They were always on clearance, and what had originally cost up to $5.00 were often on sale for fifty cents. The owner has classes there, so what products are left after she teaches the class goes to the clearance racks. That's the only way I can afford the reinkers. I about fell over when I had to pay $6.00 ON SALE, even at JoAnn's when I bought the VersaMark reinker.

      These acrylics came in a little set with a pad and instruction booklet on sale for 90% off. At the time it was cheaper than the cheap paints lol and the colors are wonderful and easy to blend to make green and purple and other colors I don't have, but I'm definitely keeping an eye open for the bottled craft acrylics. I have a Michael's close to my house. I want to upgrade my watercolors though, as I can't get any depth of color with these little school paint sets.
