I would like to try a collage next. Just wondering, you glue the pieces of paper, but do you coat them afterwards. Like a varnish?

I just glue them with good old UHU but I don’t use any coat (yet?). :grinning: I think, there is a thread in the forum about this topic, too. I just cross my fingers, that the envelope arrives safely.:four_leaf_clover:

Well, I will give it a try too. And check out those topics.
Yesterday I did some easy painting with watercolours. They are number 15, 16, and 17.

Nice ones!
What do you do use for the ‘book paper’. Is it really from old books or special paper?

Hello! I use pages from old books, I find some in street libraries, and in return I leave my books.

Cool. I have a few really old books that almost fall apart, so I can use those. Thanks!

Instead of old book pages you can also use wrapping paper. If you have some left or just keep it in the future. No matter if it’s crumpled. Another idea is origami paper or any other patterned paper. Or use white paper and colour it with water colours. Even cutouts from magazines work pretty well for collages on envelopes. Good luck and looking forward to see more of your designs. :blush
