Soot Technique

Project designed by Elizabeth Dunn.

Materials:

lit candle
glossy white paper
rubber stamp(s)
spray sealer

1. With the slice surface face down, swiftly wave back and forth a glossy card stock across but through the heart of a candle's flame. Watch soot emerge on the surface.

2. When satisfied, stamp dry non inked rubber stamps into the soot (rubber stamp will remove soot).

   Tip: You can always add more soot or smear off soot if you aren't happy with results.

3. Spray the surface with sealer after the stamping is completed.
