Bundles of Loose Popotillo

$2.00 USD - $34.00 USD

If you would like to try your hand at Popotillo, all you need is:
- a drawing on any plain paper or wood,
- either my raw beeswax sheets and something like the back of a spoon to burnish it with, or a traditional pot of cera de campeche with rosin,
- fingernails or a hobby knife,
- and this colored straw.

Many artists have told me that they can find everything except the straw, so I'm making mine available.

À la Carte:
Each $2 bundle is a gram, or about 10-12 strands.
Each strand can cover a roughly 1x1 inch square. Each strand is a gradient with the scraggly tips naturally being a darker shade than the bases. A contiguous gradient can be formed by matching bases with bases, and tips with tips.

The Multi-Pack:
Recommended for an artist working on a large piece. This pack has one of each bundle (total of 17 bundles) and is kind of like like a jumbo box of colored pencils, whereas each bundle is like a single pencil in the color you choose. Great for an illustration the size of a sheet of printer paper.

Color Blend Bundle:
For large groups of beginners you can order some Color Blend Bundles each of which is the same size as a regular bundle but made of a random assortment of colors with no duplicates. This is kind of like a 10 pack of miniaturized pencils. Great for working on something small like a bookmark or magnet.
