Hello Lena. I have tried making velum before using baby oil, and it was horribly greasy. Then I saw Eva from Bohemian crafting make it a few elks ago using furniture wax. Unfortunately this method didn’t work for me as my wax has turpentine in it and the smell was too overpowering. I loved how translucent my papers had become when I tried my hand at encaustic earlier on the year and that was what gave me the idea to use beeswax and candles. I just love how these papers turned out. I like the idea of adding poems to the one journal, and I may just do that 💕. Stay safe and have a wonderful week 💕 xxxx
