zigzag Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 Just coloured a load of chick peas for the tuff spot on Monday. Look very inviting, hope they like them! 4
louby loo Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 They look good :1b Did you just cover with food colouring in plastic bags ? (like you do with dried rice) I've never actually used chickpeas at work..
Wildflowers Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 Great idea for collages! Look a bit tempting to eat though...
zigzag Posted February 16, 2017 Author Posted February 16, 2017 They look good :1b Did you just cover with food colouring in plastic bags ? (like you do with dried rice) I've never actually used chickpeas at work.. I used a splash of white vinegar and some watercolour paints. Just don't seem to get the good old fashioned food colouring these days. Great idea for collages! Look a bit tempting to eat though... Yes they do look a little like the skittles sweets!
Wildflowers Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 Why vinegar? Would poster paint work? Thinking about it, possibly not good for collages as the glue would dissolve the paint.
Stargrower Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 They look fab! You must've bought chick peas in bulk!
finleysmaid Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Why vinegar? Would poster paint work? Thinking about it, possibly not good for collages as the glue would dissolve the paint. apparently the vinegar helps to set the colour!
zigzag Posted February 17, 2017 Author Posted February 17, 2017 They look fab! You must've bought chick peas in bulk! Huge tub from Amazon. may i ask what paint ? Liquid watercolours, also purchased from Amazon. So much better than food colouring and don't need to use too much.
