Acrylic Pour onto Canvas

Hi everyone, welcome to my blog!

As the summer holidays are over and the kids are back to school we had our first craft group session at Hobby Craft, we are luck that the manager allows us ladies to use their large table in the middle of the shop!  So this 1st Friday I showed the ladies how to pour acrylic onto canvas using the various mediums needed.

Here are mine!
