The Perfect Pearls have a binder so no need for the glue. However, I have experienced the mould problem and was surprised because I thought being mineral-based there would be nothing for mould to grow on. The distilled water tip is a brilliant one and I shall use that from now on! Many thanks!<br /><br />I have bought quite a few small, and quite cheap, empty spray bottles from Superdrug which do very well for this sort of thing. I have a larger one which had some cosmetic spray or other in it, and when it was empty, I started using it as a plain water spritzer. Some bottles have a better finer spray than others so it's worth trying them, isn't it.<br /><br />ShoshiShoshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00028185699225457125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-18411804892141165642013-08-11T20:25:32.277-05:002013-08-11T20:25:32.277-05:00Very cool!

Giggle Now about those mica powders....if I don't have the brand name on them how do we tell if there's binder in them? Teach me to throw out boxes. :/ Yes, I love this idea and will be giving it a try...stay tuned.

Your dollar store tip is great, and I will look into that. Also, I have pearl ex mica powders that I bought to use with clay. They do have a binder (to the best of my knowledge), so no glue, or less glue? I'd love your opinion.Craftymoose Craftshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02791008130982382299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-30172142563337536982013-08-11T01:20:24.146-05:002013-08-11T01:20:24.146-05:00That looks like fun!

Lol<br />I made my sage wands, too! I have way to much to waste. This year I got 6 fatties for later burning. <br />Thank you for your kind thoughts about my sketching abilities. I think I am very weak in that area and have terrible self judgement issues around that part of my creative endeavors. I don't have the discipline to sit and practice so I just throw it out there and cringe. Lol <br />Have a wonderful weekend Elizabeth.

This would be great for so many things and it's fun. <br /><br />Glad you have your internet working again. Thanks so much for your visit to my blog. I appreciate your kindness about my PL pages too, this is my favorite thing to me. It's funny you mention about cutting my pictures in half, this part can be hard for me as I like the whole picture and hate cutting them. It's gotten easier but it's the only way to fit them in there. My mom liked our picture too, going to print another one and frame it for her. Glad I could share some of my ICAD too, kinda wish I had explained each one but just know they were each made special. <br />I'm busy painting away more mugs and remembering old memories to use on my future T Time posts, YAY!!!<br />Happy weekend and see you on Monday for Mandalas.
