I especially like it because you shared even the ones you weren’t happy with. I never throw a background out! If nothing else, I die cut something out of it. Yay, someone else who reuses the clean up body wipes! Love the lion, and look forward to seeing how you use that one on a future project. Well, off to watch college basketball all day, and craft! Can’t do anything else in this cold!

I could use bleach on two different pieces of black cardstock and get different results. I would not have thought that a resist technique, but more of a subtractive technight, but whatever you call it, I thought the results you got on the photo were really amazing, and your lion, although wasn’;t what you expected, turned out well too. I really liked the petroleum jelly results too, although I’m probably not going to rush out and try that giving the messiness factor. Although I actually have a spare table set up on my room that is clean that I was using to dry bingo cards on last weekend. Hmm. You put in.a lot of effort on these tutorials, and I know your readers appreciate it!Cindy McMathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10786235605189409252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-52955121271562975132018-01-12T07:08:05.322-06:002018-01-12T07:08:05.322-06:00It was very interesting to read all about your fas...It was very interesting to read all about your fascinating experiences!

I like these various methods -- they all look interesting, with various degrees of mess and supplies. I've only done one before -- crayon resist (oh, and salt resist). Apart from gelli printing.

I had a bottle and a ton of old National Geographics, but never had time to do it. The effects are supposed to be awesome.<br />I do think my favorite is the salt and shimmering mists..but then again the petroleum jelly one looks so cool..oh, I can't decide!<br />Thanks for taking us along on this journey..I'll bring Helena back to look at this post when she wakes up, she really likes this kind of art/science:)<br /><br />(I would love to be on your side bar!!

I've never tried playing with petroleum jelly. Love the salt technique. Found salt with larger crystals, like Kosher salt or pickling salt work best. Candles and crayons are always fun whether on paper or decorating eggs. I sometimes use a white candle rubbed over non-waterproof ink addressed envelope. The wax acts as a protective barrier so the ink won't run if it rains.

I had to red it twice it was so fascinating. I wish we had such interesting lectures-or I had time to go to such lectures. :) Secondly, I love this tutorial. I've never tried the alcohol drop one and I found that really interesting. I am going to have to give that one a try. I love your backgrounds. You have some cool pages to use. I think using vaseline is a cool effect and at this time of year it gives you a chance to keep your hands soft and not so dry. ha-ha! And the best part is that it sounds like you had a lot of fun making them.:) You also could link up that cute little kitty page to AJJ because you did have an arty new adventure. :) Have a great Thursday.Hugs-ErikaMy name is Erika.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04834435573574156495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-23289739324030730622018-01-11T04:29:28.590-06:002018-01-11T04:29:28.590-06:00You got some uncredible stunning effects with your...You got some uncredible stunning effects with your resist playing - I love your bleached lion and the secet Santa page is UNIQUE!!!<br />Thank you for a wonderul technique session!<br />Something I learned recently about salt and watercolors and I want to share it with you - is that iodized salt doesn't give good effects, I often wondered in the past why I get no good results with my salt ( it was always iodized - the most of our salts here are ) and now as I have extra bought normal and granular salt without iodine it really works much better for me. But no tutor ever mentioned this yet before....it was a woman on youtube who mentioned this .... I am really happy to know this fact now.<br />Always something new to learn - that is what learning is all about!<br />Happy Thurdays Elizabeth!oxo Susifroebelsternchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06501600240752195171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-18057447595387102982018-01-11T00:49:54.783-06:002018-01-11T00:49:54.783-06:00Looks like you had fun playing with your various r...Looks like you had fun playing with your various resists, thanks for sharing the results here.
