Carol Nelson is a nickel azo gold addict and after I took her class on Craftsy a couple years back, now I am too. The color just makes everything look so good. True story... 😅

And I'll be showing this in about 3 weeks, once I've demoed a few more papers! If you are on my newsletter list, you will know when.

I love your content, Catherine! Your art is inspirational. I wished you put these in landscape view so it filled the KZread screen. The vertical is just so hard to see the detail. Thanks for posting.

So glad that you love the content. I totally agree with the vertical not being the way to go. Any of my vertical videos were reposted from the art demos I did on Instagram last year. Now I wish I had waited to refilm them all, but some got reposted before I thought about doing this. Still might do it, we'll see. So many new papers to film that I hate going backwards!

Lovely technique ! I would Like to See how you use this in your Art work. Thank you

You can also paint the folder inside and then put the foil in. As long as you rinse right away the paint should come out. Maybe easier?

What do you use to take the shine away and to create the matte finish? Is it matte gel medium?

@catrains.artist

10 ай бұрын

I usually use a matte medium, and a gel matte is fine too. If you use the dull side of the foil, it also gets less shine.

This is a great technique ... thank you. Would it be possible to use alcohol inks instead of paint? And sending healthy energy for positive medical results.
