LET'S USE A WHOLE BOOK #1 ✂️📚 Distressing the Blank Pages!

Рет қаралды 4,684

Ай бұрын

Hi Friends!
I thought we could start a new series of videos today, "Let's Use a Whole Book"! I have quite a lot of vintage books I pick up whenever I visit flee markets or second hand bookstores and I definitely have more book pages than I can ever use.
So I though, why not choose one book from my stash and hyper-focus on it, using up all of the pages as well as - eventually - the cover :)
Hope you will join me today, as we take the vintage book apart and have fun distressing the papers with inks and mixed media.
Thank you for watching and see you soon in the next one!
Martyna

Lovely work as always. You just need to add some glue to your mica spray. You can use Mod Podge, Glossy Accents, Diamond Glaze, or anything that will dry clear. 1/2 a teaspoon in a 2 ounce bottle should be enough. I also use rubbing alcohol in my mists instead of water.

Welcome Back! I missed your happy smiley cheerful chatty crafty self! I really have been enjoying your recent uploads!!! I look forward to the new series!!!😊 As for the mica sprays you need some sort of an adhesive for the mica to stick to your page or whatever you are spraying. Keep in mind that some will rub off but not fall off. So if you use just a basic wet glue like a white or clear glue that should work but it will clog your sprayer so you will need to run it under hot water every so often. There's really no recipe, just take some of the Mica mixture you have add a couple drops of glue (at a time) and shake until you are happy with with it. Hope this helps!

Use gum arabicum as a binder for mica.

@@NatalieLightSeeker1111 I don’t know I am sad to say. I haven’t found any gum arabicum to buy. I would try adding very small amounts at the time and shake really well to mix it with the spray. Then spray it to paper, let it dry and test if the mica rubs off. Good luck and please let us know the results.

@shinybreesilver3264 Ай бұрын

Hi Martyna, my basic understanding is that you need to use mica powders with a liquid that has a binding element. Water, when dried, wont stick to the paper. Mod podge or glue are your best options. Tim Holtz Mica liquids contain some sort of chemical binder, I believe it is resign, not sure, that is why it will adhere to the paper.

I use mica powder in water and spray papers. I then use the sealer that seals pencil drawings. It is light weight and is matte.

@russellmiles8783 Ай бұрын

Hi Martyna, add hairspray! Spritz hairspray into the bottle first, then some water and then the mica. Shake well and add more mica if you need.

I love what you are doing with the book pages. Thank you for sharing your process. As for adding shimmer that will stick, I use a small spray bottle with Metallic gold paint and water. I found a video on youtube called How I coffee dye my papers with a hint of shimmer, by Junk Journals and more. I have tried it a long time ago, it worked well for me.

The first book in French was religious with the Formation of the Soul The 2nd book, also religious, Latin, mentioned morales and principles 3rd book is the Memoirs of Princess Friederike Sophie Wilhelmine of Prussia Last book Yvonne Sarcey founded the Université des Annales, a place for conferences given by writers on various subjects but mainly literature and music. A log is created in January 1907to report the content of these conferences with illustrations I knew what the first books were. I knew the 3rd was a memoir but not of whom (Google) I am French, knew the last book was a compendium out directory of some kind..researched that one. Love trivia

I followed a video tutorial from someone who made their own mica sprays, and you have to use isopropyl alcohol and liquitex gloss varnish to make the mica stick to the page. I made some, and it works, but the shelf life is not long, and the sprayers always start to clog up for me, so I make small batches in cheap bottles. I will try and find the tutorial for you....

@kaicismom Ай бұрын

I think this is the right video. I used the varnish in place of mod podge because I am not a fan of it. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mMCqhLWbmsW6hHU.htmlsi=Fq58TR3gPMQa-4ll
