Received paint in the mail today… woohoo!!
Check out the etsy store here, MarletteArt The owner, Hunter Marlette is “taking a short break” according to the etsy site, but this paint will be worth the wait, I think. The colors rewet immediately, and are lovely. The pans are filled to the brim, and have nice strong magnets attached (the neodyne type I use, not those wimpy self adhesive strips) He adds the store name, color name, and pigment information to the pans, and packages them nicely. The paints are milled with honey, which gives them a lovely texture, but they aren’t as sticky as M Grahams.
The paint comes nicely wrapped and labelled.
One thing that attracted me was the quinacridone gold he offers, which is made from the original pigment, PO49, no longer available. (I think he could get more money for this paint, and told him so. 🙂 The sap green he makes from this color is GORGEOUS Oh-My-Gosh-I-love-it-gorgeous. Gorgeous. Yeah. Probably my favorite sap green ever. (and I feel like I’ve tried them all??)
His metallics are VERY metallic. Very shimmery and pretty. And the sample dots he included are generous enough to really see if you like using the color.
I really enjoyed the fun envie it was all shipped in as well, so included that in my journal 🙂
Hunter has the same initials I have and I remember off and on for years trying to come up with a fun logo with my initials, HM. Well, he’s done it, and puts it on his packaging. I’m a little envious of that logo.
