One Stroke Madness

We were discussing one stroke designs and I decided to haul out my stash. I especially love love love rainbows. I have them in ABC true, ABC neon, JP TAG Fruit salad (custom pearl rainbow), and TAG neon (not pictured). I hope Metina orders more TAG rainbow one strokes for her next order!!

I'm wondering if anyone else is one stroke obsessed like me? Do you also see a design and immediately go on a search to buy that particular cake? Do you see a new cake and buy it quickly before it goes out of stock? Do you ever crack it open and ask yourself, "What was I thinking??"

I don't always know what to do with some but I find most of these beautiful one stroke cakes make great butterflies with a 3/4" brush. What do you love to use your one strokes for?

Well, here I am!!
I have a load of one stroke cakes, almost all colours available here!
But: some of them still unused. I just have to have them, even if I don't know when to use them...
I'll find a nice design one day, and then I'll just have the splitcake ready!!!

I love my splitcakes..and even made smaller (baby) splitcakes for smaller desgins and for faces..I usually feel the splitcakes are too wide to apply on the face, especially children's faces

Breathing out deeply,,Yeah I love these too! I kee[ some for the more special faces, like one offs at home because I cant keep up with the supply for festivals and such..I will have to oo into making my own. I managed to make a very full neon rainbow out of the left over bits from the big containers, i was so pleased ...love love love them!

I love split cakes too..i make eye designs, flowers, you can take a larger 1 inch brush and go down the arm and then do a design in just black..
etc.

I just recently discovered split cakes, and my collection is quickly growing!

I started off with a DFX (I think) berry cake, then a full-size neon rainbow cake (love it! How did I go so long without doing rainbow butterflies!?), and recently I bought the Peacock ABC (as seen in my avatar) and a Key Lime ABC.

Then just a couple of days ago I gave in and bought a ton of TAG pearl split cakes and one-strokes.

They're all so beautiful! I want them all!

Janna, I absolutly love your avatar picture. It is so pretty. I wonder what that design would be like with different colour combinations?

Thanks! I'll definitely try it out with some different colours when my new paints arrive!

And it's such a simple design too! Basically just four swipes with the split, then some details and dots in black and white.

oh i love all your one stroke cakes. i haven't got the chance to purchases any yet but i hope Santa will send me a gift card so i can order some

Oh dear, that's a LOT-A-PAINT hahahahaha guess I should not say anything since I am guilty of having way too many.
I only own 3 or 4 that i bought from the forum but way too many to count the ones I've made lol

I really have more one strokes than I need... My first one was that Tag fantasy which I am still trying to figure out stuff to do with. I have the pallette insert filled. I use about half of them. but some I don't know what I was thinking at the time. but I see some of yours that are on my to get list!
I am aiming for a pallette of ones, I use often.

and I miss the Tag true rainbow. have't seen it in a while. That is my most used one stroke cake followed by rose.

no ordering face paint till after january for me though

Flopsy, I would love to see some of the butterflies that you do with those, could you post some photos and tell which split cakes you used?

p.s. I think I'm addicted to split cakes!

Maggie, here is most of stash. I was cleaning out my festival and birthday party kits trying to do an inventory. There are still a few missing like my beloved Wolfe skin tone palette and my all of my liquid bling. I'd love to see yours all laid out! LoL I need to have a practice kit like Tamara's.

What is that silver box with all of the rainbows in it Flopsie?

It's a Kryolan aluminum case. It has a mirror and slots for brushes but I only use it for storage. It's bulky and does not lay flat like the other laptop style cases do. AND if it had a handle to carry, I may have tried to use it more. It does have a latch that works perfectly, better than any laptop for sure.
