Darn it   used the wrong signature line on the last missive -  this is my 
SCA siggy.

Greetings everyone:
Lady Aurora asked with trepidation:
Most  important: How can I teach grade-schoolers to blend tempera paints 
from
the  raw materials without getting caught in the middle of a gooey egg  
fight?
:P

And Caryn replies:  Use gum arabic.

Or make  glair from the egg whites (egg yolks don't do well in manuscript
painting)  and they cease to resemble eggs at all. You have to do this 
anyway
before  you can use them for binder.

Stickily  yours,
Caryn
