WalMart art

Yes, I'm one of those unlucky ones who doesn't have an art store nearby. The closest one is 60 miles away. So all I have for those 'gotta have it now' art cravings is WalMart.
My current art craving is art journaling, so a trip was made to Wallyworld to see what could be found. I came away with some acrylic paints, gesso, brushes, gel pens, and some cute paint pens from the kids section.
Probably not the best quality stuff, but it will hold me over while I explore the medium and find out what I really need.
If anyone out there reading this is an art smart person, can you explain the difference between gesso and ModPodge? They look the same to me.
Am still working on the Bob-isms book, and contemplating more hand-made books. I found that blank note cards work great as pages. They are stiff enough to provide a good working surface and they are prefolded.

I'm thinking of starting a fiber journal, a collection of pages of my most favorite fibers.

  1. I love Walmart. they have everything. Some stuff's not as cheap as the price makes it out to be. I've bought some quality crap there at cheap prices.
