Thank you for actually pointing out the obvious! I have watched soooo many videos of how to mix this properly, I also have the cheap affordable zip sealed 52 colour set, I'm sorry if that reads bad, but I can't afford the brand names already bonded! But I couldn't understand why some of the packets were half empty! I now know it's a weight thing and not a volume thing The Gum Arabic is 1-4 ratio not 1 scoop to 4 scoops ratio, It all needs measured in weight 👌 Good call btw. I have tried Everything and failed, even the 'hairspray fix' 🙄 but you just fixed it all....thank you sooo much haha 😉

I use metallic eye shadow powder from Dollar Tree to do this sort of thing

Very nice! Thanks for the demonstration, I wanted to try to make some shimmery colours, got the mica powders but didn’t really know what to do next without investing into a whole range of extra products, so I like the method you show that only involves liquid gum Arabic. Thank you so much! 😃 will try it tomorrow 😊

I’m glad you found it helpful! Do take a look at the blog post I wrote about making the shimmering watercolours. I found that by adding a little bit of glycerin to the liquid gum Arabic improved the rewetting properties of the watercolours.

A tiny bit of honey could be put in along with glycerine for rewettability. These are beautiful!

This was SO helpful! I would like to have glycerin available too, but there are a lot of varieties out there and I'm not really sure which one is the "right" one?

Thank you so much. I just used a little baker’s glycerin from the supermarket and it worked well.

Can you use this paint over polymer clay and can you seal it?
@KathrynCraftmehappy6 ай бұрын
I don’t think watercolours are the best paints to use on polymer clay as it doesn’t absorb liquids. I have made shimmering paints by mixing mica powder with PVA glue. I haven’t tried it but it feels like this would be better on polymer clay.

What can be used instead of Arabic gum
@KathrynCraftmehappy2 жыл бұрын
I’m afraid I’m not an expert in making watercolours. This was my first attempt. I’ve used PVA to make a kind of acrylic paint. Others use gum tragacanth but gum Arabic, along with glycerin or honey are the most popular mediums.
