Thank you for showing this. I love the symmetrical aspect and the pops of red against the black and white.

Thank you so much!

Just a suggestion about the deli paper…while it‘s still wet you can carefully scrape away the part that stands out too much with a craft knife. It can be a bit tedious but it works..😊

I love this piece. :). With regards to the deli paper - I would use wet strength tissue paper instead ❤

I have tired to purchase and it was out of stock. But I love the inexpensive deli paper I'm now using. So the investment of wet strength tissue will probably wait until I am making more money here on KZread. Thanks for watching.

i've bought deli paper from amazon & a grocery store. both were less transparent than tissue. i like tissue paper from the dollar tree. it disappears when glued down, no matter what glue i use.

@SusanCliftonArtist

I discovered since I made this video that on most colors other than black this deli paper is very transparent. I also use Dollar Tree tissue and it isn't transparent enough for me. Maybe the dollar store near me has different paper. This was the first video where I used the deli paper. Since then I have fallen in love with it. Thanks for your feedback.

Even though deli paper doesn’t disappear like tissue, it adds another texture to this piece over the black. In many cases, it would bother me as well but, I like it in this composition. It reminds me of how encaustic work looks!💕🇨🇦

Thanks. I hear that some brands are transparent. I have found that one yet

As a collage artist, I suggest using rice paper rather than deli paper. Deli paper has a shiny and a flat side and the shiny side is what keeps a sandwich from leaking through so it isn't going to absorb as well. Another thing that works for me is tearing a shape rather than cutting. A torn edge will "disappear" much better than a hard edge (which you get when you cut). You can try some cut rice paper - still should disappear better than deli paper.

Since doing this video I've come to love the deli paper. I found one that is perfect. I do use rice paper but the transparency I get with the deli paper is wonderful.

Isn't it wonderful that as artists we are all different? Our works show our hearts and what we use comes together in beauty. Thanks for sharing what works for you!@@SusanCliftonArtist

I think this piece is beautiful!. Deli paper usually shows up more when its on top of dark colors. If it bothers you, you could cover with black paint over the dark areas where it shows 😃

@SusanCliftonArtist

I've thought of that. I do like the strength of the paper. But I like the tissue paper for a more transparent effect. I thought it was worth a try. 😎

Very nice to watch you making decisions. As for the transparency, I just viewed a KZread video where the artist shows the transparencies of various papers for collage. Sally Hirst. It is helpful.

You explain things so well. Great work Susan. Just wondering if you could erase the deli paper over the dark places by painting over it with black acrylic or ink. Blessings from Jayna from Down Under 🧡🌻

I’m sure I can but since this a paper collage created just as an exercise, I won’t bother. When I’m working on wood or canvas it could generate a sale and be worth spending the extra time. 😎

Hi Susan. Thank you - I enjoy your videos! I'm curious about that grid you taped your working piece to. Is it a cutting mat or something else?

@SusanCliftonArtist

Yes it’s a cutting mat. Blue and white on one side and the reverse on the other side.

Add wet strength tissue , because it holds a lot of paint and it's also see through .my name is Linda Bailey from Corpus Christi Texas , it cost more but it's worth it and it doesn't tear as easy as regular tissue paper , and it works the same it's called Carnival wet strength tissue paper ,my name is !Linda Bailey from Corpus Christi Texas wish you well !

I have found that I’d I run a heat gun or blow dryer over the tape, it keeps the tape from tearing the paper when you peel it off.

In my experience, deli paper is never very transparent when applied over dark papers. Tissue paper is better,but even that shows over dark papers. If you really want the paper not to show over dark background papers you have to cut out the shapes. If someone has found a solution, I really would like to know! 😅
