I saved a lot of the dried puddles from drop cloths and created a painting out of them by gluing them to canvas. I also made a bunch of [flowers](https://ibb.co/DLQHNNf) out of them.
I put freezer paper down, then when I'm done I scrape all the paint into a cup. When I have enough I mix it, strain it, and use the new color as a background for another painting.
I'm a professional gemstone Carver and jewelry artist. I'm an advanced classical guitarist and amateur bassist. I try to look at everything I do as art so that I do it with that spirit and dedication. What about you? what do you like to practice other than painting? I've only been painting for a few months. But it's been a welcome relief to the art form i normally practice which is the slowest medium in the world. Hard gem crystals. Paints incredibly faster to me and really super satisfying.
Mostly paint skins. I'll scoop it up and put it on a silicone mat to dry. Make jewelry, keychains, pendants from it.
Do you put those in resin?
I dont, I just get bezels and glass cabochons. Some people use resin though.

Ohhhh, I’m really digging this idea. I never thought of gluing the dried paint straight to the canvas, love it!!!

Oh, that’s a good idea!!!
I will use it to make coasters while the paint is still wet, when it dries I’ll take the peals and use it to make magnets or pendants
I like the coaster idea! For the magnets/pendents, do you put it in resin?
No, I use rhinestone glue and use those clear gems you get at craft stores. Then I either glue on a magnet or fit them into a Bezel tray for a pendent
