Thanks for the tip LLT, if I could find a good thick piece of glass I would. Originally I used a square glass dish cover I picked up in Goodwill, but because it had curved edges it was a absolute pain to get the paint scraped off. I would be terrified with my clumsiness of having a normal sheet of glass, especially with edges. Once I get money I would like to get the stay wet system Zero pointed out I think it would save money on paints too because they tend to dry awfully fast.

On another mermaid note; one of my nephew's kids wanted Little Mermaid painted on her nails. It's been years since I tried to paint this small, but I set to work and one hour 45 minutes later she had almost the full cast in miniature on ten tiny nails. I tried to photograph it close as I could, but it is difficult to take pictures of something that small clearly.

I tried to convince her to let me slip in a tiki, but she would not hear of it. :wink: Well, I tried.
