- Click&Go water cup

-
Step 1: Using coloured card or strong paper to cut out a bookmarker template. Gesso could be used as a grounding.
-
Step 2: Cut out a book page and glue it on the template, possibly use Gesso again.
-
Step 3: Paint Gelatos into the upper and lower corner, it doesn’t have to be exact.
-
Step 4: Apply a small amount of water with the brush, set the bookmark upright so that the ink can dissolve.
-
Step 5: Repaint the corners with Gelatos in brown and red and blur it with a wet finger. By doing this the colour gets shown off to its best advantage. To put more emphasis on it, paint the edges of the bookmark and blur it with a finger.
-
Step 6: Paint the stamp with the black Pitt Artist Pen big brush and stamp it on the dried bookmark.
-
Step 7: Pick up the templates for the feathers. Use a moistened brush and take some colour of the Gelatos to colour in the feathers. Cut them out after drying.
-
Step 8: Apply Gelatos on a base and mix it with a bit of water. Take colour with a brush and splash it on the feathers, to create splashing effects. After drying, glue those on the bookmark.
-
Step 9: Cutting out some matching words from magazines, newspapers or books and glue them on the bookmark. Colour in an absorbent ribbon with Gelatos. Fill a spray can with water and spray it on the ribbon, thus water and colour can mix and beautiful gradients are created. Pull the dried coloured ribbon through a hole in the bookmark. Tie a bow with a cord - et voilà the finished bookmark.
