Made time to go to my studio anyway, knowing I'd only have a few minutes but happy for whatever I could get.
Notice the differences between where I left off yesterday (left) and where I left off today (right).
Turns out I had just enough time to get myself … nowhere.
I tried my hand at using masking fluid I'd purchased some months ago. Impatient, as always, I did so without doing any kind of test run.
I did read and follow the directions, which included the instruction to rinse the applicator clean after use. To the sink I went.
Whaaaaat??!
Inside the bottle I saw not the clear thin fluid I'd applied but a thick coagulated substance that looked like liquid 'foundation' makeup (and well you might ask how I would know what makeup looks like).
Sooooo. I'll let the bookmark dry and see what sense I can make of things tomorrow.

making fluid is a bear! I gave it up. Kudos to you for working toward figuring out this beast...
Theoretically, masking fluid would be great fun. In practice, not so sure. Glad to get your it's-a-bear take on it. The application I chose here was definitely a bear, but I can envision other less fussy applications that might (maybe??) make it enjoyable … I might at least play with the small amount I purchased till it's gone, even if I never purchase again!
I know how frustrating dried and clogged art supplies can be!
I just have to sit back and laugh—so many adventures and misadventures in such a tiny space! I appreciate your empathy, Simone : )
Have missed a few posts Dotty - but love the colour palette in this. Yes, never good to reach for a particular supply and find it's dried out, clogged - whatever - just plain frustrating. Will look forward to seeing what happens next. Have a good day!
Lovely to hear from you, Janet. Fun to know that you like the color palette, and fun to know you're looking forward to what comes next. Spoiler alert: many more missteps/adventures en route but a pleasing success in the end.
Wishing you a great day also!
Good luck dear friend. I never had luck with masking fluid either. I have faith in your ability to conquer all! LOL :)
Have fun :)
Thanks for your good wishes and your faith in me, Sheila! Where would I be without my art family?
Hope all will go well with the piece with or without the masking stuff. I have a small bottle of masking fluid, never used it, probably not useable.I don't notice anything different!
Thanks for the well wishes with the masking fluid. What a funny adventure it's been. The reason you notice no difference is … there IS none! Whatever came out of the bottle initially must have separated and was clear, and dried clear!
