As promised, my pigment pressing method…
It’s a mammoth tutorial and rather picture heavy, so please click ‘read more’ to continue on the pigment pressing adventure!
The cast of characters:
I’ve provided links of where you might purchase supplies, feel free to shop around – the links are there as a convenience only!
1. Minimum 70% Rubbing Alcohol (also known as surgical spirit or iso-propyl alcohol)
2. 5ml Syringe
3. Biosilk Silk Therapy (the link I provided is a VERY good price for Biosilk, I paid more than this)
4. Orange Stick or any suitable mixing tool you have to hand
5. Empty Palette or Pans (Those 26mm pans will fit in an ELF empty palette although may not be magnetized – easily fixed with a self-adhesive magnetic sheet though)
6. BarryM Dazzle Dust or pigment of your choice (Not MAC)
7. Suitable mixing container
8. 10 pence piece (I think the US size equivalent is a quarter?)
9. Textured material/kitchen roll
