Welcome to our Advent Calendar Countdown for 2024, What has Houston got in store today?

Houston is most impressed with Box 5, it’s big, flat but doesn’t make much of a noise.

We’ve got a double whammy today, a small bottle of Yellow Powertex Medium and a small bottle for Red Bister.

The small bottle of Bister will be perfect for testing your Powderfix from yesterday to make a waterproof version of Bister.

For those of you who don’t know, Bister is liquid Walnut Ink, one of the most light fast pigments known. In fact, it is used in the House of Commons to write the official copies of law.

Bister clings to all the little nooks and crannys of your projects and it will bring out details you may not see.

This Fossil project is made with grey Powertex and Stone Art. Apart from a thin layer of gold dry brushing, it is only coloured with Bister. As you can see, you can get some real depth with Bister as it soaks into the Stone Art.

What will you create?
