Why I love my Golden fiber paste...


Mixed-media-hello-card

One of my fave mediums to use is Golden fiber paste. The fibers in the paste are mineral fibers and the texture looks a little gritty but it's quite pliable. When you apply it over a colorant, it absorbs some of the colour for a slightly muted effect.


It's a little lighter than molding paste so it adds texture without bulk. Plus, it doesn't crack when you apply a thick layer [this happens when I apply a thick layer of molding paste]. 

P/s: Come play along with my guest Lisa's shaped card challenge and LESSology Challenge #28: Open that bottle! .

    Very beautiful! I will have to try their fiber paste. I use Golden's light molding paste and it seems to be pretty pliable. TFS
