Sometimes, pours don't turn out how you imagine them in your head. That's ok! Go with the flow and adjust your expectations! It is a chaotic art form, and you are just along for the ride. This pour didn't work out quite how I had in mind, so I went with it and went a little further and made it into a flower! A little different than my go to, but I like how it turned out! Let me know what you think!

I am playing with silicone oil in my latest set of experiments. Silicone oil comes in a wide range of viscosities. It is measured in centistokes, or cSt. The higher the number, the thicker the viscosity. For the next few videos, I am mixing 80,000 cSt with a bit of mineral spirits to use as a cell activator. I am pretty thrilled with the results, so go check them out!
