I'm going to try both. Thank you. I've been searching for an hour.Tracey J.

I did hear of a tip though - you add washing up liquid to the paint and this gives it a bit more tack, and the effect wasn't too bad. Keep the quantity small, though, otherwise you will end up with something very slimy, as well as wasting your paint! Just a little squirt and a small amount of paint to start with, and just add more if you feel you need to as you roller it out onto your glass plate/tray whatever. The effect isn't as good as the real thing, but it's not a BAD substitute. I did also wonder if adding writing ink to acrylic paint might work, so I'm going to try that next!

This is something I would love to do, I work with K-8 so I will mess with more washable mixtures for my little ones but now that I know I will enjoy experimenting.SCWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01409873929544537671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8276480693863873812.post-90749642660669679492012-01-15T14:01:16.192-08:002012-01-15T14:01:16.192-08:00This is great!
