ART-Acrylic Paint & Water Beads

Bought these supplies last year after seeing a video of a cool process. Basically it breaks down to squirting paint on a surface and dumping water beads on top and swishing them around to make a design.
I felt artistic this morning and gave it a try.
Lined a roasting pan with foil and that tore . Cut paper to fit in the bottom. Easier said than done. Then...
the orange peels and banana skins added for  authenticity. LOL

water beads tiny out of the jar. I am soaking them now to be bigger. :)
  so I squirt the paint and toss the beads on top-  the paint seems to be too thick and acts like brakes for the balls LOL So I spread the paint a bit with the paper left over from cutting the work surface.


and when you pour the beads off after- one escapes and leaves a trail.

crazy pattern on foil.

decided to try a small piece of glass and the beads.

soaking the beads to get them larger. Careful if I ask you up for drinks- this may be it.
finished works LOL the last glass piece looks like Chinese for "stop"
