Conquering The Spin Swipe! 😵‍💫 ✅ TWO Spiral Bloom Swipe Acrylic Pours

It’s time for TAKE TWO on the bloom spin swipe! I had a bit of trouble with this when I first tried it, so I’ve made some changes and I’m ready to try again!

Thanks to ‪@lisamarvinart‬ for the inspiration on this technique!

These little wooden rounds will eventually become clocks. Compared to my last spin swipe attempt, here’s what’s changed:
-Smaller surface means it’s easier to cover it with design
-Thinner consistency of pillow paint
-Better shaped palette knife for this technique
-Placing the palette knife OVER the middle, instead of only touching the middle

Invented by Shelee Carruthers, the SheleeArt bloom technique involves three different pieces:
1. A “pillow,” usually house paint straight from the can. Eggshell is best but any sheen should work.
2. Paints or mica pigments, mixed with a specific pouring medium, recipe below!
3. A “cell activator,” usually Amsterdam paint mixed 1:3 with Australian Floetrol. If you can’t afford that, try Amsterdam Titanium White mixed 2:1 with water instead!

Here’s how I mixed my pouring medium!    • Mixing A Pouring Medium For SheleeArt Bloo...  
I then mixed it with the mica pigments and paints (plus extra polycrylic, when necessary) to create a medium-thick, creamy consistency.
