Welcome to Crafting With Jack and What’s On Your Workdesk Wednesday, a day when we link up to Sarah's Craftshed and have a look to see what everyone has been doing.
Beautiful birthday flowers from my daughter for tomorrow.
The natural rock pigments I bought on holiday are proving to be the worst buy ever! I mixed the powder with the Gum Arabic and honey - a lot of stirring. A couple of colours just did not want mix, phthalo green was the worst one. The tiniest bit of powder stains and it seemed to jump out the pot of its own accord! The mixing took me the best part of two days. I thought I would try various brushes and brush strokes also I wasn’t sure how much water to use. All of these were on dry paper, so next stage is wet on wet. At one point I got a little frustrated and added some Liquitex, which is the darkest shade above.
I visited my niece yesterday, she is expecting her second baby in February, such exciting news!
