BODY ART

TEMPTU PRO has been producing long-lasting body art products and innovative cosmetics for over twenty-five years. When the original TEMPTU PRO All-Ink Transfer was invented for the 1981 movie “Tattoo,” it became an overnight success with Hollywood makeup pros and body artists alike. In the process of creating a superior transfer ink, we discovered that the same formulas could be used to manufacture an exceptional line of body paints and cosmetics, giving birth to TEMPTU PRO Body Art. TEMPTU PRO offers the highest quality body art products on the market. We were among the first to innovate body art with the use of airbrush equipment and tattoo stencils, and those innovations continue, with products like Dura Platinum – our incredible paint that lasts up to ten days. Today our paints are industry favorites for body art, skin, prosthetics, tattoo coloring and special effects. We are leading the next generation in premier body art application.

Take your paintings to the next level with these uniquely shaped painting knives. Use them with relief pastes, including mortar, matte and heavy gels, modeling pastes, and gesso. Experiment with creating "relief" effects in a variety of thicknesses and layers with acrylics and oils. These Italian-made knives feature water-resistant mirror blades made of hand-ground steel and handles crafted of high-quality bubinga wood.

CLOUD CLAY

Soft, puffy Cloud Clay is as light as air — plus, it’s non-toxic and safe for small children to use! With more stretch than other brands of modeling clay, Cloud Clay’s fibers won’t break when pulled apart, so projects are more durable, even down to the smallest details. Because it’s extremely pliable, Cloud Clay is fun to squeeze and model, easy to decorate, and dry to the touch while being used. Plus, it can be used over and over again when sealed properly. Cloud Clay dries overnight.

The simplicity of Framatic products is their hallmark. Framatic frames are intended to complement the framed image, not compete with it. Their clean, unelaborated design is intended to rise above trends rather than follow them. Framatic frames provide a classic, understated and appropriate solution for any image.

With simplcity, there is no opportunity to hide flaws. Therefore framatic frames must be and are manufactured to very exacting standards. For example, unlike most ready made frames, the glass is clean and ready to use. Mitered corners are consistently tight. Fit and finish are always to the highest standard of quality in the industry.
