hehe thanks! =) I just used watercolor. To get the texture, I would put salt on it while it was still alittle damp, and also drop different colors into it while wet to make a spotty blend. For the black lines, I used watercolor pencils and would wet the edge to spread it out alittle.

they're really fun x3. they go down like any colored pencil,but as soon as you add water they get all liquidy and bright. x3 it's pretty cool
