Today I am sharing an A4 mixed media canvas board I have made using distress ink a chocolate baroque butterfly stamp, AALL and create #87 stencil and eclipse washi tape ,A studio light grunge stencil ,Tim holtz idea-ology words , hand made gesso , texture paste hand made ( recipes below )and some hand drawn doodles
To make texture paste I use
Half cup of baking soda or talc or bicarbonate of soda . (I use talc smells nicer )
3 tablespoons pva glue
2tablespoons white acrylic paint
You just mix all the ingredients together and You can make it as thick as you like by adding more talc
I like mine like a thick mousse texture
I make loads at a time and keep in an airtight jar .
From this mixture you can add things to it to give different textures like fine sand etc
And add pigment to colour it to make coloured paste
To make it into gesso just add water to the above mix until you get the texture you like
Both work beautifully and save a fortune making it yourself
