  3. Okay! I just went to my kitchen and tried this. I took before and after pics on my iPhone. It worked awesome. Can I link this post to my blog. . . I want every art teacher to know about this magic. I'm so excited about it I have to go buy some cheap rice:) I only have organic but I used it for the tester.
