" POWERTEX"

"WONDER of wonders... MIRACLE of miracles" ... I've been uplifted into  'POWERTEX" heaven... It is a revolutionary, water-based, liquid fabric hardener that is 100%  environmentally safe for adults, children and animals.

WHAT A VERSATILE PRODUCT !!!!!  Not only does it make most porous materials and surfaces weather resistant, it allows you and I, to create a unique piece of art that can be left outside, in the summer and the winter months ...  AMAZING !!!!

With the 2015 Christmas passing of my sweet mother-in-law, Peggy, our family needed some spiritual uplifting. I never expected it to come in the form of a fabric hardener.( ha ha) In earnest, I created and created angels and angels and more angels for the local Christmas Fair. 

I discovered that Powertex could be successfully combined with  most natural materials: cotton, fabric, paper, paper mache, silk, metal, air-dry clay, rayon backed polymer clay, concrete, pottery, fiberglass, cardboard, stone, wood, ceramics and many more. ... so bring on the "HEALING " experimentation !!!!

AH-h-h-h-h ... It was such an easy one-step process: Dip your material into the Powertex liquid and then shape, fold, drape, pleat or just basically manipulate the fabric in as many creative ways as possible. WHAT AN AEROBIC WORKOUT !!!! I must have dropped at least ten pounds per Angel( Hee Hee)

Once my creation was dry, I was amazed, at how hard and durable the figurine was ...  YES … The fact that I could display my work, indoors or outdoors, and in the SNOW, only added to the,"WOW FACTOR".

POWERTEX  is one of the leading textile and sculpting mediums in the world …. It has also  received  the non-toxic AP seal, by the Arts and Creative Materials Institute( ACMI) This environmentally friendly cream gives artists and crafters around the world, a serious new medium, to expand their creative scope.  The ONLY limit is your IMAGINATION.

Once you pop off the lid and pour the sculpting cream into the dish, a " DEJA VU " happens. Your hands, begin an annointed  process of euphoric creation, that transcends into the ultimate  artisan zone.

I can hardly believe that I turned my husband's, stinky , old t-shirts, into glorious  angels. YES,
these angelic figurines now wear the sweat and tears of a treasured t-shirt collection.  My hubby complained bitterly, however my reply was ,"Honey, after ten years of wear, it's  time for new ones ". 

As a mixed media artist ...  it is important, to creatively go, where no man/woman has dared to ventured." POWERTEX ", is one of those products that takes you just a little beyond, into the outer space of creative freedom. While other products  might be similar, I must relate, that Powertex,  is user friendly and the LEAST messy fabric hardener that I've ever used.

It is AP accredited for the environment and  all humans and animals. I am relieved, that it is also water- based and easy to clean up after a workshop session. 

You can find Powertex everywhere. It is availabale in a variety of product  sizes in green, red, blue, bronze, yellow, terra cotta, bluish grey, ivory and transparent. The added bonus is that you can buy a fabulous array of regular paint colors or metallic colortrix paints to enhance your creation. Form molds for clay modelling, creative books, videos and online classes make it an amazing  artistic experience.

" PAVERPOL "

If YOU can SING , YOU can Dance  with  Paverpol .... It's a revolutionary stiffening product that is environmentally friendly. That means it is  safe for adults, children, animals and mother nature.

Being a Mixed Media Artist means searching out new ways to express ones' self.... I'd been dabbling in sculpting with various types of clay  for  over a  decade ... but I'm not really that old ( Ha Ha)... so.. when I  get my hands into something  utterly wonderful to  create with .... 

 I  BECOME ECSTATIC !!!!!

Don't you LOVE  the way fabric drapes around her body and don't you HATE throwing away that favourite form fitting t-shirt. Well ... I discovered that Paverpol was the answer to my over developed sense of  repurposing and recycling. Mother Earth needs all the help she can get.

REMEMBER: Paverpol is environmentally friendly.

 This beautifully draped bottom is courtesy of my husbands old shredded  t-shirts dipped and layered with  the Paverpol hardening agent ...WOW, how fabulous is that!!!!

The wonderful thing is, that figurines and sculptures dipped in Paverpol can be left outside without any need of further protection.  However, you might want to Paverplast just incase of a creative mistake of not completely covering your cherished piece of art. 

"BETTER SAFE THAN NOT"

Paverpol opens a whole new world of art for you to explore... Please check back at my " Dancing Lily Studio" frequently, as I add new sculptures, workshops and special event schedules for you to attend. I look forward to  introducing you to the Paverpol
