    I don't know why RUclips is showing me collage type of art today. It's all over my recommended videos. And I'm loving it! This is so beautiful.

    Love it! Just a hint I saw somewhere, down the RUclips rabbit hole, to protect the rest of your journal when working with such wet stuff, get a large plastic, wider than your book, and cut a slit in the middle but not all the way, like a postbox slit that you can just slip the two pages you working on and open up flat, that way you have a barrier between the two pages and the rest of your book. I was messing up all my previous pages edges every time I did a new work. I used an a3 plastic file cover.

      another option, which I do, is to put deli sheets under the page you're working on and let them hang out of the book so you don't get paint, etc on the pages before or after.

    • @NiamhBaly
      @NiamhBaly  5 лет назад +9

      I do this with watercolour paper, then when the papers look interesting I scan them and print them out to make really interesting collage papers - then I keep using the watercolour papers again until I re scan them :)

    • @ruthinmanart4063
      @ruthinmanart4063 2 года назад +2

      that sounds Brilliant! I usually put deli sheets under each page, but they tend to slide around thus getting the wet paint on the underside of the page, ruining whatever I did there.. .

    A trick I do with tissue paper is when I want images going in the opposite direction. Stamp your tissue paper, cut it after the inks dry. Then you glue down the tissue paper upside down, with matte medium or clear gesso. When its dry, you have your image facing through, in the direction you want.

  • @brendacollinsdeeks7268
    @brendacollinsdeeks7268 5 лет назад +1

    The most important thing you said tome in this video is that sometimes you feel like your page is NOT working as you go along so you keep adding the layer after layer until it does! For some reason I though everyone started out with the idea ad the page just worked out. I have one successful page in maybe five and have one such work-in-progress sitting on my table right now. I was off to a great start but then 'ruined it' when a later layer turned it all one colour. Now I'm thinking I could just add a new layer of different acrylic inks or paints to see if I can break it up.

    • @NiamhBaly
      @NiamhBaly  5 лет назад +2

      Brenda Collins Deeks pretty much every page I do I have no idea how it will turn out. I think that is why I’m not as precious with them as I just don’t know what I’m going to do. So adding more layers, or a large collage focal point doesn’t worry me. The best thing I can say to you is that you can always paint over things, or cut into them or tear it out if you really don’t like it once you’re finished. But I’ve found that usually I end up liking the page after a while:) sometimes leaving it for a few days and coming back with fresh eyes gelid too xxx
