| I'm going to paint some canvases for the wall in the girls room. What is the best kind of paint to use though??? I was looking the other day, and there's acrylic, oil, watercolour etc....is there any one better than the others for this type of thing?? I'm not a great artist, but want to give it a go...I also want to do some name tags for the end of the bassinets.... |

When I paint canvases for walls I just use Resene testpots with the supermarket dockets so you buy two, get one free. ------------- Two little girls under 2!

acrylics are the easiest to use and they wash out in water ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">   [/url] Angel June 2012 |
