Where can I find these silicon beads that you can microwave with plant parts?
Ok, 1.5 weeks ago I saw an event of Design on a Dime, and the cool artistic guy, the strong blond one, got a microwavable bowl and put a layer of these silicon beads, then added the leaves of a spy, then another layer of beads was added, and microwaved it. Then the leaves were dried, and he added a polyurethane televise that was supposed to make it keep it's color and seel it in.
What are these silicon beads and polyurethane put apart?
Where can I buy them?
I just bought some of this trash this week off of ebay...it's called Silica Gel ..Blossom Drying Art. They sell it at Craft stores like Michael's., also Joann Fabrics. If you don't red-hot near one of those just do an online search on Yahoo! shopping for Silica Gel and it will schedule online sources to order from. The trade name I have is Activa and it is reusable...cool stuff! Polyurethane spray is great...you can achieve it at any hardware store or craft outlet. Craft stores have the lighter substance that works better on dried flowers. There are unheard-of types so read the can...also different finishes...from hi-gleam to matte.
