Weeellllll...This definitely did not come out the way I wanted it to. I wanted big cells. I got big cells while I was mixing the paint, but they disappeared as it dried. I re-read the directions (I mean, re-watched the instructional video) and noticed that I did not use the right type of silicone.<br />
<br />
I bought some dimethicone and will try again.<br />

<br />
I am about to be blunt. Feel free to scroll on by if you don't want to hear a strong opinion.<br />
<br />
The term for using a board with pegs to knit is called knitting.<br />
<br />
The equipment for non-needle techniques is called knitting board or knitting loom. The correct verb for the use of this tool is knitting.<br />
<br />
I keep hearing people calling it "looming".<br />
<br />
First, looming is not a verb in the dictionary.<br />
<br />
Secondly, they are knitting, not doing a different activity than knitting.
This irks me because:<br />
<br />
(a) You should know the name of your hobby.<br />
<br />
(b) Surely, you can agree that using a non-verb as a verb, instead of the correct, actual verb, when there has been an actual word for it for hundreds of years is again, very strange.<br />
<br />
(c) It feeds into this whole ridiculous subculture of people who prefer the different equipment to be better than The Others. Don't believe me? Then why are there <a href="http://blog.knittingboard.com/archives/5327" target="_blank">articles asking if using a knitting board is cheating</a>?<br />
<br />
My favorite quote from that article:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 1.5em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Looming and knitting are different, aren’t they?</strong></em>No. It’s all knitting. Looms are the tool, just as needles are the tool used. No matter what the tool used, it’s still knitting. </span><span style="background-color: yellow;">People who use needles don’t call it needling</span><span style="background-color: white;">… Just saying…</span></blockquote>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Here
is a piece I did to see what mixing acrylics and pastels would look
like in a landscape painting. This is the mountains that circle Phoenix,
Arizona, interpreted geometrically. I was able to get some interesting
textures in the foreground by mixing the two mediums.</span><br />
