DiAnn, we might have to argue who is the best! Stamping Details is always the first place I will try out a new technique. Your customers and students are the greatest! Thanks for all the enthusiasm about the book. I know you will pass up the 100 mark any day now!

Hi Helen, I hope you will go back and visit the Golden website again when you have time to play around with their search engine. It's pretty technical, but all the information in the world is there to peruse! If you send someone an e.mail there I'm pretty sure they would be most happy to send you a color chart. Thanks for visiting the blog! Have a wonderful colorful day.

You are the Best!! I love having you teach at Stamping Details in Poway, CA. You have a knack for bringing out the Artist in even the newest of students. AND Love your Altered Surfaces book, we have sold 82 so far-our goal is to sell 100, almost there.

Dear Chris,
Thanks for the clarification. I tried to get some info
from Goldens site and some color samples for someone from out of town. Their site was of no help, though they are generous with technical information.

I visited your busines website, WELL DONE! It sounds to me that you and your daughter have hit upon a good thing for your clients as well as your own creativity. I am a few days away from the national CRAFT & HOBBY ASSOCIATION trade show where my book: Altered Surfaces by Design Originals debuts. It is pretty exciting to know that something you worked on will finally find its way into the hands of Golden lovers everywhere. I think you will find it the perfect answer to a expanding your understanding and use of Acrylic products! It's also filled with colorful photos showing the product in many applications. Yesterday I was working on my sample boards for a class I am teaching at CHA on the book and I was once again working with Quin Magenta and Nickel Azo Yellow. They are really so fabulous together. When you mix them up you get this intense rusty orange that is not as strong as Quin. Burnt Orange, but truly lovely. My job was to come up with a limited palette that could be very versatile. I'm going to post it to the "color" blog soon. Keep and eye out. Good luck on your work and continued success in your business.

Hi Chris, love your site, I sell Golden Products in Australia and have a Mixed Media shop with my daughter. I really love this product and am always learning something new. I love the affect that you get with layering the Quin Magenta over Quin Nickel Azo Gold gives a lovely rosy hue. I put some of my samples on my blog on our website www.artisticjourney.com.au if you are interested. Will also look for your book to add to our stock. Two books that I have found to be very good using Golden Products are Acrylic Revolution by Nancy Reyner and The New Acrylics by Rheni Tauchid.

Hi there, glad you enjoyed my comments on color. As far as describing the technique, yes, the book, ALTERED SURFACES (Design Originals, available from d-originals.com) does cover many techniques including the one I mentioned. I will be posting again soon, so keep looking for more about color!

It's great that you have found a way to commemorate your mom's 80th in such a terrific way. The ketubah image that you saw on my website was of my husband's grandparents and that is their wedding photo. I always use high quality color copies for the images on my pieces as I never want to give up the originals. It makes it easier to "size" them that way as well. Good luck with your piece. Send me an image when you have it done.
