Since I made this post, I have tried several different application methods: assorted size paint brushes, foam applicators, cotton swabs, and make up sponges. Using the brush and foam makeup applicators is great for the general application of color and the other items I used are great for blending, daubing, etc. When I did get some dust, blowing a quick breath onto the page before proceeding did the trick so I didn't smear up the page I was working on with the base of my hand.

I think popping those out and into a multi-day pill minder might be just the ticket to being organized and using up things I already purchased.

It could be a good way to pick up some extra colors. I bought a compact with 8 colors at Walgreen's for $3. Btw the Frugal Crafter also sId to use the little eye shadow wands to color with. You can get a package of a dozen for just a couple dollars. roz_whohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01446059937189741647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2978131193780513233.post-3218007059556361022014-12-17T08:30:21.587-06:002014-12-17T08:30:21.587-06:00Hmmm I should try mine.
