Mixing Balls | make activating specialty inks easier

To be honest this really does look like the most boring item in my store, but, wait! These mixing balls are SO USEFUL!

There are 20 in a packet, and I add them to sprays, daubers, bottles and waterbrushes that contain pigments that need a little extra power to get activated. Add a mixing ball or two and they act like internal swizzle sticks.

  • Packet contains 20 x 0.5mm balls
  • rust proof, stainless steel

Ink Mixing Bottles | Add pigment, gum arabic & make inks!

These bottles are fantastic for making your own ink mixes!

To make your own ink you need:

  • Pigment Powder; such as WMC Neons or Fairy Dust.
  • Gum Arabic ; this is what will make the pigment 'stick' to the paper.
  • Water; Distilled water ( the type you put in an iron) is chemical free

The process is simple:

  1. I use the Treasure Measure to add equal amounts of Gum Arabic Powder and Pigment to the bottle.
  2. I add water to the half way mark
  3. shake to mix
  4. test on paper and add more pigment if you want a stronger colour, or more water if you want the mix lighter!

Ways to use your new Ink:

 

Optional extras:

  • add a tiny drop of clove oil to your mix as an anti moulding agent
  • add a Mixing ball to make it easier to agitate the ink
