Playing with Luscious

Good morning all! Its Rachel here today and I am bringing you a project today with a few different ways to use the pigment powders from Indigo Blu called Luscious. They are beautiful powders and have many uses - I'm bringing you just a few to wet your appetite. There are 11 colours but I have only chosen those in Autumnal shades to work with according to our theme this month!

I started with a journal spread, luscious powders and gesso. I started by mixing the white gesso with the powders and spread them over the pages using a palette knife.

The results were not brilliant - but I expected that! What I then did was to sprinkle some powders on top of the gesso whilst it was still wet - that result was better in showing up the pearly lustre.

Next I used the beautiful fossil stencil from Andy Skinner and added super thick slap it on through the mask. I sprinkled luscious powders on top and worked them in with the slap it on. I repeated this over the pages.

I think the result was beautiful - the shine is just wonderful.

Next I wanted to mix the powders with water and painted it on ...

Firstly the painting was just randomly in blobs...

here's a close up ...

finally I painted in some words ... personal ones as its in my journal.

I hope you have enjoyed my pages and seeing how the luscious powders work. I love them!

I hope you will join our challenge this month!

Hugs
