Thanks to Tasha for sharing this art with us!

Use this recipe to make some fantastic winter themed art like this snowflake.

Salt Crystal Art
Ingredients:
• Hot water (preferably boiled ahead of
   time)
• A cup or mug
• Salt (we used table salt)
• Black paper (It should be heavy paper or
   cardstock. We found that plain
   construction paper will not work.)
• Paintbrush
Directions:
1.  Pour boiled water into a cup that can
     withstand hot water.
2.  Add a couple of teaspoons of salt and
     stir with the paintbrush until it all
     dissloves.
3.  Continue to add salt a teaspoon at a
     time until there are salt crystals at
     the bottom of the cup that will not
     dissolve.

4.  Paint a picture using the saltwater solution.
5.  Tip: Every time you go to dip your brush in the salt water be sure you to stir the solution so that your
     salt crystals don’t all sink to the bottom of the cup.
6.  Leave your art to dry overnight
