Description
Eileen Hull’s Whimsical Garden Magical Shaker set from Lindy’s brings together five garden-inspired colours in a palette of yellow, green, pink, berry red and aqua. These highly concentrated, dye-based powders activate with water for colourful backgrounds, painted details and mixed-media layers.
Five colours in the collection
- Pollen Party: yellow.
- Leaf It Alone: green.
- Bloom Banter: pink.
- Berry Bad Behavior: berry red.
- Water You Waiting For: aqua.
How to use Magical Shakers
Sprinkle a tiny amount of powder onto watercolour paper and lightly mist with water to activate the colour. Add water gradually for a speckled, varied background, or mix a little powder with water on a palette and apply with a brush for a watercolour-style wash. You can also wet your paper first, then sprinkle the powder over it for a different effect.
For mixed-media work, mix a small amount into gel medium or paste to add colour. Start sparingly: the powders are highly pigmented, so a little goes a long way.
Project ideas and care
Use the coordinating colours for floral cards, scrapbook backgrounds, journal pages and coloured die cuts. Try yellow and green for foliage-inspired layers, then add pink, berry or aqua as contrasting accents.
Magicals are dye-based and can stain porous surfaces, including skin, fabric and carpet. Protect your work area before use. Watercolour paper, a water mister, brushes and other project supplies are sold separately.
