It should make it more resistant to cracking and smoother to paint with. I've used it with other powdered pigments, just not tempera.

It says the ingredients are <br />4 tbsp. baking soda<br />2 tbsp. of white vinegar<br />1/2 tsp of corn syrup<br />2 tbsp. cornstarch<br />and gel food coloring for bright colors.<br /><br />Then you mix the baking soda and vinegar together, next add in corn syrup and cornstarch and stir until it is dissolved. Lastly add color and add to your tray continually mixing so it doesn't harden up. This is more of a watercolor recipe but I am a traveling teacher and no matter what supplies are expensive!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3501308597522720818.post-25600478743197441902016-05-30T09:39:51.770-05:002016-05-30T09:39:51.770-05:00I'm going to try this recipe and add a bit of ...I'm going to try this recipe and add a bit of plaster to see if it will harden.

I too have the powdered on hand, and some of it is old, but it never goes bad! It's always a great thing to have on hand when you run out of liquid and need just a dab for a project. Good luck with the tempera cakes. I think I'll make some too!

Like you, I used low-cost metal cupcake tins as a mold. In a smoothie blender, I blended 3/4 cup liquid Tempera paint, with 3/4 cup powdered Tempera, 1/4 cup of water. I poured the mixture into my cupcake tins and placed them on an air conditioner vent in my art room. It took nearly two weeks for them to air dry. This process seemed to work out pretty well for me. The mixture of powder and liquid Tempera yielded some pretty exciting "fresh" colors. I made those cakes last summer and we are still getting mileage out of them this year. I have no idea where the powdered Tempera came from. I inherited it from a previous art teacher. It looked like it was from about 1962. I was thinking of whipping up some new hues, maybe I'll do a tutorial on what worked for me. polkadotparkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09713928627671715014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3501308597522720818.post-16056057029347798782012-09-13T15:58:33.419-05:002012-09-13T15:58:33.419-05:00Hi Ted, I have Had success with using baby food ja...Hi Ted, I have Had success with using baby food jars and just letting the paint dry out for a week or two.
