I'm standing here completely stunned because I just now sat down to find someone that had a recipe for homemade gesso. There you were to my rescue. I'm making it now. You are so inspiring especially when it comes to recycle, up cycle and everything in between. Our world wouldn't be as dirty if people would just do their part in keeping it clean. It's not that hard to do. Thank you for being here today. 👍♥️♥️♥️

Wonderful! Glad it was helpful ❤️

Thank you so much! I've been wondering about gesso, but you saved me some research time!

So useful for so many projects. Thanks for sharing.

TYFS this. Old school gesso, formulated with fine powdered marble, is expensive and very durable. But, it's great for adding "snow", or texture to arts & crafts. Thinned out a bit, I've made alot of projects for miniature houses -- faux foods, "cement" planters/sidewalks/ brick mortar, plastered interior walls, and stucco exteriors.

If I am decoupaging old hymnal paper to a board, should this be done to the board first? Same question if I was painting the board.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

No need when decoupaging

[@rinio.s]

Thank you for the recipe and all the lessons you provide could i use any paper or does it have to be watercolor paper God bless you

[@OurUpcycledLife]

So, would you use this as a base on a more porous wood if you’re doing a reverse transfer (in some woods, ink comes off more easily…)

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Yes you could

[@PaulaZF]

I’m wondering if it would work on a glossy paper where paint would normally chip off.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Probably not on anything too glossy

[@theresaanndiaz3179]

I just bought some gesso, when I run out, I'll be making my own.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Excellent ❤️

[@eviemaddox3038]

I’m the weirdo that has calcium carbonate 😂

[@shady62minx]

Omg lol me too. 😂 I make my own chalk paint with that stuff

[@barbthoensen7433]

Me too😊

[@OurUpcycledLife]

lol! You can make a real good gesso then!! ❤️

[@terrimoore8962]

Lol me too and make my own chalk paints!

[@TomG-f4r]

Sea shells an or snail shells

[@gjop-xm2xe]

I notice the water color paper didn’t curl so can I do water color on this

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Yes you sure can

[@TomG-f4r]

Is it ok to use ground up human bone to replace calcium carbonate?

How many millilitres is the recipe for each... I've googled how many is 1 8th of a cup, it doesn't tell me😊

[@OurUpcycledLife]

29 mil

[@enidshear2847]

Sprinkled

[@jeansmith2663]

Thank you for this recipe! First time I tried to make it with calcium carbonate from an old art handbook…the man at drugstore…where I called to see if they had the materials…asked me if I were making a bomb! I guess I was talking “too sciencey”!🙄

[@merryaijlman7833]

That's hilarious. I guess in our world today it's not too far out a question. 😂

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Too funny!

[@abeauln606]

Bahaha - same here! I stood at the counter and said oh it’s for a recipe for a project… which didn’t sound any better 🤣
