Modern script 'place cards' on Agate slices

[Olive & Reid]

Thank you, Janis (and Melanie---didn't say it before)! I'm still very nervous about my client work — very critical (which in many ways is a good thing, but stressful!) so really appreciate your kind feedback.

This turned out great Kate ! Thanks for sharing

Those are GORGEOUS! I never thought about writing on agate slices.

Hi Melanie
I went with Artiste metallic acrylic (classic gold) craft paint diluted with water and then varnished with Vallejo Acrylic Gloss spray varnish.

Also tried the acrylic out on black paper (Frisk 135g black pad) while I had it. You can see the vid on Instagram.

Cheers
Kate

Great!  I'm glad that acrylic worked out for you.  I've used quite a few of the colours and found them pretty good, when watered down, for calligraphy, and super cheap too!  I'd definitely recommend any UK based calligraphers to give them a try.

And I understand the nerves when doing things for clients, but I really wouldn't worry about these - they're lovely!

Those look fantastic! Thank you for sharing - it is great to see the process and materials.

You did GOOD   :-)

They look great!  What acrylic did you use in the end?

Mel, I just realised it was you who recommended the Artiste paint to me. Thank you -- I wouldn't have even known where to start so must give a massive shout out to you!
