glycerin 101 for crafters!

Sorry it has taken me so long to compile a list of all of the great uses for glycerin in the craft room. Glycerin is a watersoluble plant based oily liquid that is a main ingredient in many of your art supplies. You can buy Glycerin at a pharmacy or a health food store or in the cake decorating aisle of the craft store (but that is the most expensive way) or if you need a lot of it you can purchase it through a soap making supplier online.

Uses:
Reinking embossing stamp pads. Use as is or with a wee bit of water to reink clear embossing pads or mix with gouche paint and make your own pigment reinker. Here is a video on making your own pigment ink: http://youtu.be/vah1ii4mZYQ

Add a few drops to your acrylic paint rince water to increase open time and workability with acrylic paints. It makes your water wetter!
