Sunburst Glitter

1 tbsp. warm water
1 tbsp. gum arabic
1 egg white

Mix gum arabic and warm water in cup over hot water until completely dissolved. If you wish it colored, add it at this stage. A little blue will whiten flakes; yellow with a little orange makes gold. Used plain gives a silver effect. Apply egg white to surface of mirror or glass upon which the above mixture is to be poured, spread very evenly but not too thin with finger tips. Let stand 12 hours or until dry. (May be dried in oven after heat is turned off.) When dry, scrape off with razor blade in long even strokes. Sift through a strainer and store in dry covered container.
