Tole painting

posted in crafts |

For years now I have been quite anxious to get into the art of tole painting.  If your a regular reader here, then you know all about my obsessions with crafting and crafts of any kind.  And if your just tuning in, let’s just say that I am obsessed with crafting, but I get bored quite quickly with the crafts that I start and am always looking for new crafts to learn and create.

But..back to the tole painting.  Although I have always wanted to try my hand at this craft, I never have.  The main reason why I have been putting this off is because of the cost.  It costs quite a bit to get yourself all set up.  Once you have all your supplies purchased, then the cost of keeping this craft alive isn’t that bad.  But you need  lot of money to get started.

I have finally took the plunge and started making my purchases.  I purchased a couple of beginner books to see what supplies I need and with the help of these books I’m hoping that I can get started on this craft quite soon.  I keep checking the fliers at different stores to see when their paints go on sale and then when I get enough materials I am going to teach myself how to do this.  I’ll let you all know how I make out and if the end results are worth the initial costs.
