    These are great! How do you then clean your stencil brush or do you dedicate one brush to the crayons and another for inks, paint, etc.?

    • @VickiBoutin
      @VickiBoutin  4 года назад +1

      Hi Deborah! Great question!!! Super easy to clean! Wipe on a wet paper towel, or dip just the tip of the brush in water and then rub in a circular motion on a cloth of paper towel until it rubs clean and some of the dampness is removed. Roll the brush up in a paper towel (like a tube) and leave it to dry. (I re-use the rolled paper towel each time). I do have multiple brushes...but more for switching between colors and needing a dry brush...or...needing a "clean" brush. Hope this helps!

    Hi Vicki, for technique #3, if I wanna write on top of the mixed media, which pen / marker do you recommend? Would a Sharpie permanent marker work? Thanks so much!! 😀

    • @VickiBoutin
      @VickiBoutin  4 года назад +1

      Hi Christy! Great question! A Sharpie or Paint Marker should work well. When they are mixed with water...most pens will work. Used dry...where there is more "crayon" the Sharpie. I would recommend creating test sheets to add to your mixed media "recipe" book and create a dilutes/water effect and write with different markers on top and create a second version with the "dry" technique.

    @suzanneanders8932 4 года назад

    Thank you for your generosity and inspiration! I have learned A LOT from watching your videos! It’s hard to pick a favorite from all of your products. I do have a question about the stamps...I imagine the stickiness decreases over time? Besides keeping them attached to their packaging is there anything to extend the life or something to add to the backs? When I add any water mine slip around on my stamping block...??

    • @VickiBoutin
      @VickiBoutin  4 года назад +1

      Aleene's Tack it Over and Over glue will help...or double sided tape used for mounting rubber stamps. Clen the stamps well and side not....the water makes most stamps slide around. Dry the block and stamp and remount. :)

      Hi there! Water soluble crayons come in MANY forms and they all have different properties and can be used in various ways.

      Tami...are you referring to the "application" like the "kissing" technique? Or as the base beneath? If it is for applying the watercolour...you need flexibility. If it is for the stencil brush...either will work...but...it could scratch the glass.
