But I remembered liking the abstract effect of this particular craft so decided to try doing it again using Christmas colours:
As you can possibly tell it is still wet as I've only just finished - I am such a 'do things at the last minute' person.
This technique uses watercolour pens, Pearl-X powder and Spray starch (the type you use for ironing) which react with each other. They carry on working for a while after you've mixed them and when they are dry they look different again.
I personally love the abstract look, but I know its not everyone's cup of tea. Looking forward to seeing how it dries and if it looks OK I will probably put it onto a Christmas card.
Thanks for looking and for any comments,
See you tomorrow,

Hi, thanks for the comments. PepPop, I did use card, black glossy card so I don't know if it'll work on paper, you can but try!
Admitedly this piece did look better before it dried - and also better at night than in the day! I might end up cutting it up and using it in collages, etc. instead. x
Now you KNOW I love the look of this :P Would definitely look fab cut up and usedin mixed media pieces! Is it going in your altered book? OOh talking of which I saw an amazing one on display at Pickleberry Crafts at the weekend, just beautiful and so inspirational!
Mmm I'll give it a go and let you know how I get on. Jaqui x
