Wow, this sound like a lot of fun. I will try this coming week as well to find the ingredient, gum arabic as well at my local store!
I will use parchment paper too since I do not have anything other than that which will be able to be cooked in my oven at 170 degrees.
Thanks Sherry, a terrific find! If I can do it this coming week, I will post again. It all depends on my store findings and my schedule.

This sounds really cool. I think global sugar art carries gum arabic.

You can buy gum arabic in art supply stores, it's used in print making. A friend of mine was an art student and I remember her telling me that we should make our own glitter and she would show me how.

Thanks for posting this, Sherry. The recipe does say you can color it by adding color to the water.
