Ooh, I love playing with a new product, and these are fun! Color Burst by Ken Oliver, are highly concentrated water colour (color??!) powders in little bottles with a built-in nozzle. Just add water!
Can I get the directions for the "accordion". I have not been able to find the longer paper anywhere, but love these b ooks and am excited to use color bursts ( new concept to me ) I use them as occasion journals/gifts.
Hello Kate! Your work makes my eyes happy! Q: I was able to get Color Burst last year, but in little pots instead of the spray bottles you use. Are they currently available both ways, or did one replace the other? Thanks a bunch!
Hi Maria, As far as I know Colorburst just comes in little bottles but it a loose powder inside. You can mix them with water to make your own water based sprays though.
WOW! love it, got me inspired to get out my color burst :) Thank you xx
