Arabic Gum

Hi I'm new... I believe this is my very first post here but I have been lurking for a while. So anyway how the heck do I use Arabic Gum?! I have both Pearl Ex series 1 and 2 but haven't used them yet. I just bought Arabic Gum thing just because I keep seeing people talking about using arabic gum and pearl ex together... so that sparked an interest in me.

Check out Beate's tutorial about Shimmering Watercolor Crayons in the resources. It is a great technique that uses gum arabic and pearl ex.

I finally got around to using mine (pearl ex) this past week. I have had them for months. I haven't tried the arabic gum yet but I have tried it with versamark and lumiere and it's beautiful. I purchased future floor polish this evening to try that technique tomorrow. Let us know how you do with the arabic gum.
