Techniques with Water Soluble Media
Hello, friends! Vivian here with my first tutorial as a guest designer with Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft. I have an art journaling page to share with you today.
My video tutorial shares the inspirations that went into creating my project, detailing a variety of techniques you can use with an assortment of water soluble media available from Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft. We have some fun with salt (yes, the salt you flavor your foods with), "drizzling" with homemade mists, and vascular effects with hot glue!
The gnarled effects above represent for me our collective "winter." Transitioning into an inevitable spring.
This phrase really resonated for me personally and has helped me process recent tragedies in our country and the world.
I hope you'll take a break from your day to watch and that you'll come away with some inspiration and a few new techniques to try out on your next mixed media endeavor!

I didn't know about the multi media sampler packs until I viewed your wonder video...I just ordered the blue to try it out.
