LOL! You're so cute and like me... "I just got distracted by some glitter over there I've never seen before."

Anyway, there's 2 gesso uses you didn't mention that I can think of off the top of my head.

1 is image transfers. It's a true science to get it right.

Another is for texturing! If you paint down a good layer of gesso and use the end of your painttbrush or whatever, you can sort of etch into the gesso.

an example of the textured gesso can be seen here
