Wow! To spill the tea on the truth about my life as a mixed media artist, let’s start with why is this project unfinished? Lol the “spilling the tea” moment was influenced by my sorta addiction on commentary channels, especially Peter Monn’s lol. Where is Jaclyn Hill?

Unrelated topic aside, the truth about why this project is unfinished is because I needed to wait for my pastes and craft glue to cure. In addition, I am also testing the craft glue that I bought from Canadian tire.
For beginners of mixed media out there, selecting a good adhesive is essential to your projects. In my 4 years of experience doing mixed media art, a reliable and fast drying adhesive is a must. The most expensive that I have tried is a gel medium, followed by E6000. Both adhesives are my most favourite so far. If you are sensitive to scents, then a good gel medium is your adhesive.
