A salt picture. Quick, awesome art.
Last night a drew some swirls on a large piece of paper with pva glue. I sprinkled it with regular table salt and let it dry. Putting it up on the wall before bed, I crossed my fingers and hoped my biggest girl would enquire as to what it was.
The next morning she did. By chance some pipettes I'd ordered from ebay dropped through the letter box. We were ready to go!
It really couldn't be simpler. Just dropping coloured water onto the salt they merge to create rainbow patterns.
She's inspired. Currently she's dropping the water onto paper towel sheets to get different effects. Next its black card instead of boring white. Whatever next? Important thinking colour wheels, tie dye, rainbows, light...steady mum...dropping colours onto paper is fine for now ;-)
