ARTISTA
SOFT contains its own glue – so sticks to
itself and almost anything apart from your hands.
Can be
coloured before using or afterwards. For craft
projects, acrylic paints, water colours and poster
paints.
Suitable for Air Brushing. It can be glazed with
any form of spray glaze or brush on glazes.
 |
Main
ingredients are potato flour and rice flour.
Is very safe to use but recommended for children’s
use only when old enough not to put in the
mouth (because ARTISTA SOFT has its
own glue it could stick in the throat).
If
you are undertaking larger projects where both
pieces
are dry then you can use either a little
wet ARTISTA
SOFT paste, or any PVA Craft glue – Tacky
glue. |
ARTISTA
SOFT can be used for any type of modelling
or moulding. In place of Paper Mache, and other oven
backed clays or pastes; - dolls and dolls house furniture.
For train or aircraft modelling – for card embellishments – napkin
rings or any kind of craft work. It can be used for
making moulds or veiners and can be cut with designed
cutters, scissors, or a craft knife. ARTISTA
SOFT has a forever shelf life providing you
keep it from the air. DO NOT PUT IN A FRIDGE OR FREEZER
and to be kept away from direct sunlight where it could
sweat while still in the packaging. Once opened, seal
the packaging again and place in a piece of cling film
and then in a polythene bag or box.
(Do
not keep in cling film only as this breathes).
To
avoid the paste being too sticky for you
to use put a little grease (i.e. Nivea Crème,
Trex ) on your hands, the boards, the cutters
or whatever you are using and leave in the
air a little to air dry to enable you to
get the consistency you wish. |

ARTISTA
SOFT is sold in large packs of white paste,
which can be coloured with the relative colour
of your
choice. White is sold for £5.00 per pack. ARTISTA
SOFT Also has the four main primary colours
in smaller packs at £3.00 per pack. (Blue, yellow,
red and black). All the colours are intermixable and
when moulded
together can make a kaleidoscope of colours.
 |
The
coloured pigments are ARTISTA SOFT and
contain very heavily pigmented colours. You
could find that the coloured pigments on their
own had lost a little bit of the glue content
in them, so meld down with a little white ARTISTA
SOFT. You can be working with these
colours and they will not come off on your
hands.
Note:
Because ARTISTA SOFT is
an opaque paste it is very difficult to
get vibrant colours when using acrylics and
water
colours etc, so we recommend that you do
use the ARTISTA SOFT colour
pigments.
|
For
cake decorators you may use your dust colours, glycerine
paste colours or food colouring also. Remember
it is non –edible and although the contamination
between cake and decorations is not a problem, but
because you cannot eat it you cannot cut through when
dry, use for decoration purposes only. Either put sprays
in a pick or container. Dust powder colours on when
dry – then glaze with Confectioner’s glaze.
