If you add enough water, you can use
them just like watercolors. No, they don't replace watercolors...
they are a bit different... but can work that way too. Also,
if you mix a bit with pre-made wall paper paste, you can make
paste papers... Look in the Jan/Feb edition of Somerset Studio
for the directions.. It's in the return to paper crafter's article.

I use my acrylic paints to stipple or
sponge in backgrounds. I also use them with "chunky"
stamps on boxes, wrapping paper, and for background paper. Delta
(I think) makes a great gold paint called Gleam that I use a
lot to accent polymer clay medallions. I also use acrylic paints
as a base coat on wood items that I want to stamp.

I use clear crystal lacquer a lot. It
adds texture. Use it over hearts, over colored leaves, collars
on dogs/cats, birdhouse holes, on top of radiant pearls almost
anything. I don't like the pearlescent colors, but the solid
colors are great! The most unique thing I ever did with crystal
lacquer was.....there is a button on my screen door handle with
no key. If you push it to the side, you cannot open the door
from outside - NO WAY! I had the experience of being locked out
in the freezing cold with slippers and a house dress.....not
fun...When I got back in, finally, the idea hit me - put some
Crystal Lacquer over the button on the door so it won't slip
to the other side. Works great!
