How to do a Bloom Pour- #SheleeartBloomTechnique

 



Haven't done a Bloom for a while. So, I thought I would give it another go to see if I can still get those juicy cute cells that are associated with the Bloom Technique.

I took the Sheleeart course awhile back. I highly recommend if you want to master the blooms technique, to take the course.
Plus, you get the chance to join the private group on Facebook, where many people from around the world help each other and share their experiences. The best part I think in taking the course, is, the valuable tips etc that you gain from so many people.
Here is a link to her website. Well worth doing it. - https://sheleeart.com.au/course-outline/

Below is a my YouTube creation video of my latest Bloom pour on 4 tiles which are great to use as coasters.




I won't go into detail on the ins and outs on the Bloom Technique as I strongly recommend to do the course. They say it is one of the hardest techniques to conquer in fluid art.

But, basically you start with a pillow of paint which your colors float on. You add a cell activator to the colors and blow the activator across the colors which will then produce the lovely cells.

Really happy how these ones turned out. The four finished tiles below.....


Pillow Paint was British Paints Clean & Protect Walls Interior White Colors used
This Little Piggy (TLP) Lily Pad TLP Groovy TLP Taffy Amsterdam Greenish Blue Amsterdam Primary Magenta Global Metallic Gold Cell Activator was Australian Floetrol and Amsterdam White



I taped the back of the tiles with tape to protect the back from the paint, but, to also protect it from resin, which I will do later for a nice shine finish which will help also with heat resistance so that these tiles can be used for putting your coffee or tea on.




The tile on my spinner ready for the paint to go on....



After the pillow paint , colors and cell activator has been added and blown out. Ready for the spin on the spinner. 


And, the final product after spun. 



So, I can still do Blooms. So happy. Going to try this technique again soon. 

I have already uploaded one of the best of the four to my Redbubble store. Looks good on the products. Some of  them below -











I also turned one of the Blooms into a repeatable pattern which looks really cool on the Redbubble products....

And, without a Mandala.

It is amazing what a digital app can do for your designs. Takes them to the next level.  I currently use Canva for all my video creations and embellishing my finished art piece to see how it looks before actually painting embellishments onto them. You can check Canva out <here>
