Love your demos, Holly! Very fast and succinct but you give all the information needed, and I always learn from them.

[@kaugusta1]

Thank you! I like that you're able to keep the original image (I like the dawn rays on the red rooster print!) but then change it up with the mask. Happy New Year!

[@nachtschimmen]

That's a great idea. I partciuarly love the thing you construct to put it into. Of course! Why didn't I think of that!!

Thanks Holly - really good job!

[@maggiefreeman6513]

Great tutorial thank you.

[@Handprinteduk]

Thanks, Maggie!

[@wilhelmhagberg4897]

Great! But how would you go about this if you need to mask things in the middle of the image, rather than round the edges?

[@sylwiamachalica26]

Thanks a lot, would a laminating pouch be a good alternaive for mylar?

[@bixnash1]

Ooo I like the chatter on that one. Bx

[@Handprinteduk]

Sometimes I think the chatter improves it too!

[@harlem4039]

very well

Nice job

[@isabellamcgee166]

These videos are very helpful but the sound is so low.

[@Handprinteduk]

Hi Isabella, sorry about the sound - it's all done on a phone so not the best equipment! We will look into improving our sound.

[@isabellamcgee166]

@@Handprinteduk When the videos start off the sound is very low but it increases as you demonstrate. Hope that helps.
