I came across some powders that my mum used to use when she was a
cake decorator, and decided to use them as pigment for making body
paints. I figured as they were edible they couldn't be too dangerous.
I've tried mixing them with oil and water (separately - I know they
don't mix!) to see which would last longer. The oil makes a nice
paste but slips off quite easily. Haven't tried the water stuff
yet...
The powders themselves are 'dusting powders' if anyone's interested.
I don't know how much they cost as mine are quite old, but they do
make nice pigments as (totally off topic here!) I'd used them before
to colour plain metallic fabric paint and it worked a dream. luv BG
