plastic pan – I used a storage container
carrageenan – This thickens the water so that the paint will sit on top. This can be ordered online. It is expensive but goes a long way. If you have a group, you might go in together on it and share.
fluid acrylics – You can probably use other acrylics and just water them down more. I’ve also seen where airbrushing inks can be used. I’ll be experimenting more in the future.
containers and pipettes/eye droppers for acrylics
alum – can be found in grocery store with spices or ordered online
newsprint/newspaper – I’d be hesitant to use newspaper due to the inks. Newsprint can be purchased at your local art store.
fabric – I used white muslin and some of my previously dyed material
water
spoon or something used to mix
plastic to cover workspace
OPTIONAL: GAC 900 or other fabric painting medium if you plan to use this material in clothing or something you will need to wash. I did not use this since my fabric will be used in wall hangings or projects where I won’t need to wash them.
