MAGIC CRYSTAL PAINT...NOT SO MAGIC


I've been wanting to make "magic crystal paint" for awhile now after seeing the recipe in this book.

I tried 1/2 cup hot water, 1/2 cup epsom salt, stirred, and added food coloring.

em jay painted away,


then we set it on the side to dry.  and a few hours later...


pretty, but not what I thought it would be like.  I've seen other pictures of paintings using kid's crystal paint and they are totally crystallized with salt.

so I pretty much failed at making magic crystal paint, but the main thing is--em had fun.

HELP! does anyone know how to do this???
