Description
Lindy’s Home & Garden Magical Shaker set by Katie Pertiet Designs brings together five muted, earthy colours: grey, terracotta, cream, soft green and brown. These concentrated, dye-based powders activate with water, giving you options for both softly painted washes and speckled, varied backgrounds.
Five colours in the collection
- Rainy Windowpane: grey.
- Terracotta Tea Cup: warm terracotta.
- Heirloom Linen: pale cream.
- Windowsill Herb: soft green.
- Potting Shed Brown: earthy brown.
How to use Magical Shakers
Sprinkle a tiny amount onto watercolour paper, then lightly mist with water to activate the colour. Add water gradually to retain variations in the background. For a different effect, wet the paper first and sprinkle powder over the damp surface.
To paint with the colours, mix a little powder with water on a palette and apply with a brush. Adjust the amount of water for lighter washes or stronger colour. You can also mix a small amount into gel medium or paste to colour your mixed-media layers. The powders are highly pigmented, so start sparingly.
Ideas for your projects
Pair Windowsill Herb with Potting Shed Brown for botanical scrapbook pages, use Heirloom Linen and Rainy Windowpane for understated journal backgrounds, or add Terracotta Tea Cup as a warm accent on cards and coloured die cuts. The coordinating palette suits layered, vintage-inspired and nature-themed paper projects.
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.
