The 'Holiday Twinkle' Palette - Chameleon FLAKES (Set of 12 Quarter Pans) - buying Handmade Watercolours

Here's our holiday twinkle palette! The first palette that we made that has chameleon flakes in it and ON it. The set has 12 shades and they're all named after stars. The names are below (in order of L-R first row and then L-R second row from the set image). Some of these are shifty even on the base colour, some are non-shifters but with shifter/holographic flakes.

1. Sirius
2. Acrux
3. Capella
4. Altair
5. Regulus
6. Vega
7. Antares
8. Corpus
9. Castor
10. Bellatrix
11. Achernar
12. Rigel



Note - Flakes and Holos are special effect additions and photographing them requires a little bit of experimentation, often visible better under flash or after drying :)

The pans come with a small disc magnet at the bottom so they'll stick to your storage tin and they won't be wobbling around in the tin and of course the tin is free.

HOW TO USE :

Metallic watercolours are slightly different than traditional Matte watercolours. Use a dropper, brush to drop a couple of drops of water on your paint surface and let it sit for a minute , this will help the paint to activate very well. Mix some water to attain the desired consistency of paint and use away! Store them in a cool dry place and covered (The presence of edible ingredients may attract insects).

Our watercolours are made in small batches right here in our studio in Delhi, India. They are mulled by hand with cosmetic grade mica. The base of the paints is an organic binder made from ethically sourced Acacia gum, Honey, Glycerine and some essential oils. Each pan is cured over two weeks and the process includes layering the paint 3-5 times. Please note that these paints are hand-mulled and hand-poured, this can cause them to have some air bubbles and slight inconsistencies, these don't have any effect on the performance and quality of the paint. If you find any severe abnormalities in the paint you received, please contact me via ETSY or INSTAGRAM.

USES :

Our watercolours can be used on any kind/colour of paper, it is recommended buying that you use a 180GSM + paper for watercolours for the best results. They are of course usable just like any other watercolour applications for paintings, greeting cards, special effects. They can be used perfectly as calligraphy inks for pointed pens/glass pens/dip pen, basically just like any other calligraphy ink. They are widely popular as lettering supplies and for bullet journaling.

If you use them on fabrics, they WILL wash off.

If you guys happen to experiment and find any new uses, please share so with us!
