I was wondering if that would break it down more. but maybe that only breaks down grasses and such. <br /> I did get my first sheet-I took out all the cotton that was in clumps so mostly hemp--this is going to take awhile though-slow going-worked better with a pour over instead of dip in<br />thankskathyinozarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01644138355524729156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-21103968942861031882018-06-14T17:27:16.576-05:002018-06-14T17:27:16.576-05:00Great experiments with paper napkins techniques, E...Great experiments with paper napkins techniques, Elizabeth.

...A fantastic experimental tutorial dear Elizabeth!<br />I have fused a few napkins to fusible web as I started with it last years after your inspirations and advices about the bondaweb as you remember. I used some parts to sew already to different projects but not much yet. They wait for use in the drawer...lol!<br />With cling wrap I failed years ago as we all were in napkin decoupage feever and they showed and were all so clever to iron the colored napkin layer to canvas so easily on YT and in some of the internet platforms of those days, but I never had success with it - always used ModPodge and it also was so stinky when the cling wrap got hot - that can't be good for the lungs when not doing it outdoors I am sure-- you will be right that one maybe has to buy better cling wrap !But I tried many brands at those days and nothing worked for me.<br />We don't have freezer paper here or wax paper so I will not be able to try all this but it was super to see you using all this things!<br />So looking forward to seeing how you use everything in future projects!<br />Hugs, Susifroebelsternchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06501600240752195171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-33263865075143323112018-06-14T08:12:36.853-05:002018-06-14T08:12:36.853-05:00I think you have had a fun day with the napkins.
I...I think you have had a fun day with the napkins.<br />I have to say I have never tried any of these techniques, they all sound good so I also have marked your post. Its a fantastic tutorial.<br />I always separate the layers of my napkins staring at a corner and gently rubbing it between my fingers , this usually shows some separation. But as I usually tear them to use on my work , it doesn't matter if there are a few dodgy edges. and I always use acrylic bindex to stick them on the pages.<br />Yvonne xxMeggymayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15523023041456397683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-28038009146962728152018-06-14T07:07:21.388-05:002018-06-14T07:07:21.388-05:00Thank you for the steps.

But the effect is different. Can't wait to see your art with these.

I can't say too much as it's a DT project.

If so it is designed not to stick to foods that are covered and reheated either way I have never used it in such a way.<br />Pellon used to be my work horse for applique but I tend not to use it so much now, maybe because over the years I have became a little braver hee hee!<br />So looking forward to seeing how you use everything, thanks for sharing.<br />Creative wishes Tracey xTracey@Hotchpotchcreationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15362505772186981279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-76474492471068445552018-06-14T01:28:40.048-05:002018-06-14T01:28:40.048-05:00You sure know how to make an interesting post.
