Today I made some glue from this cool book called: Green Guide for Artists by Karen Michel.I made her recipe called: Rice paste. It was really fun to make, so her is the recipe:
95 grams of rice flour
26 grams of sugar
175ml of warm water
essential oil( this preserves the glue and stops it from smelling weird you can use Eucalyptus, Lavender, Lemon, Tea Tree or Sandalwood)
1. In a pot, combine rice flower, sugar and water. Stir until there are no lumps.
2.Stir over low heat until mixture has thickend. My glue was way to thick at this point, so I had to add more water, but once I had it was fine.
3.Remove from heat and mix in a few drops of essential oil.
4.Allow mixture to cool, then pour into a jar. You should have about a butter-cream consistency.
Apply this glue with a paintbrush , I dipped my paintbrush in water first and then apply to paper. This product last for several months:)

ReplyDeleteThanks for the glue recipe! The vertical striping on the art is wonderfully dynamic. Would you consider posting a larger image?
ReplyDeleteLove the page, and I'm really interested in the glue, especially the fact that it lasts well. I find so many green products have a very limited shelf life, which is tricky when you live in the middle of nowhere!
