Abstract: A novel craft art form product, system and method including patterns, paint, and applicators enables craft paint to form three-dimensional color bead matrix patterns having high degree of visual resolution and color saturation. Precisely located and closely spaced geometric shapes associated with a set of color symbols are used to form matrix designs in patterns. Each symbol represents an artistic expression which is assigned to a particular color. Each color symbol has a color darkness value which may also correspond to the darkness value of the assigned color. The craft paint material has the characteristics of forming a discrete substantially uniform and homogeneous, three-dimensional bead to overlay the color symbol associated with each geometric shape. The craft paint material can form discrete beads placed closely together without running together, yet retain sufficient fluidity to settle into smooth, substantially uniform beads.

Abstract: A holder having a sealing cap portion for craft paint applicators. The holder includes a lower base portion with an interior cavity formed in the upper portion of the holder. A threaded portion is formed therein for mating engagement with a threaded portion on the applicator bottle. The interior cavity terminates in an end wall portion that seals the dispensing end of the applicator tip from air circulation and from leakage. The applicator is inserted in the interior cavity of the holder and twisted to lock the applicator tip in the holder so the applicator tip is sealed within the holder. This allows the base portion of the holder to support the applicator in a inverted position. Since the applicator is inverted, craft paint is always in fluid contact with the inner surfaces of the applicator tip.

Abstract: A craft art form and system including patterns, paint, and applicators enables craft paint to form three-dimensional color dot matrix patterns having high degree of visual resolution and color saturation. Precisely located and closely spaced circles containing a standard set of color symbols are used to form designs in patterns. Each symbol in the standard set of symbols of the present invention represents an artistic expression which is permanently assigned to a particular color. Each color symbol has a darkness value which corresponds to the darkness value of the assigned color. The craft paint has the characteristics of forming a discrete uniform, homogeneous, three-dimensional bead to overlay the color symbol placed on each circle. This special beading paint can form beads placed very closely together (36 to 81 beads per square inch) without running together, yet retain sufficient fluidity to settle into smooth, substantially rounded, uniform beads.
