Drawing with Salt










 Salted Snail




@
Thanks for sharing the idea, SH!





If you give this a try you may discover:

1. The process of using a small paint brush to move the grains of salt charges the brush. Voila! Static electricity! Pretty funny! Bits of paper work better.

2. Any slight bend in the background paper is lasting and limits the ways the salt can be positioned.

3. Touching the salt by hand slows it down, makes it somewhat larger and more transparent, different from the untouched salt.

4. Any slight bump to the paper does some version of an Etch-a-Sketch erase job!

I thought it would be a snap! 
I knew it would be FuN!!!!
