    an easier & quicker way to do the tissue paper is to crumble it really well & smooth it out somewhat; apply it in one piece & it still gives a leather-like texture

      Great idea.

      i agree and saw this video now and was about to make this suggestion

  • @Oonagh72
    @Oonagh72 Před 5 lety +7

    I have a tip. When doing that base layer of paint mix the paint with glue. Like three to one paint to glue. The paint will be less opaque, but any tissue that is loose will be stuck down.

    I think I've watched this video about five times already, I enjoy it so much. Today I'm finally using this technique on my own.
    Thank you for the lovely tutorial, wish me luck!

    What a lovely way to spend time in scripture.

  • @rosemaryorser7052
    @rosemaryorser7052 Před 8 lety +3

    This is great and provided me with a lovely way I could preserve my NIV Study Bible that is severely worn. Since this Bible contains years of notes and info, and was a gift from my father - I really wanted to be able to preserve it without having to transfer everything over to a new Bible. Discovering what paint medium I could use inside for highlighting was an added bonus. Thank you for sharing this project.

    @jwaam Před 8 lety +3

    Your cover came out great and the sample page you showed was amazing. I'd like to see more as you work in it, if it's not too personal. I love the idea, but I'm not great at drawing and painting. I love that you can still read the scripture through the watercolor paint. Just gorgeous and truly inspirational. Love it.

    black and brown with gold and copper give a very nice look.

    Oh I seriously just love all this!! My current Bible is only a few months old and so I haven’t gotten there yet, but my previous Bible was well loved with just tons of notes and highlights and art and more art. I painted the cover and drew some Annie Vallotton figures on it front and back but it didn’t occur to do this!! I especially love the window! Well, my newest is about to be transformed! I am artistically inspired, and thank you!

  • @saschamudge2311
    @saschamudge2311 Před 7 lety +2

    So I've done this before exact same effect. I mixed my white paint with the adhesive and used a hard brush and stippled. So enjoyable to do. Probably doesn't matter how it's done, just give it a go. PS love your work Sandy❤️❤️💙

  • @ljc.youtube
    @ljc.youtube Před 3 lety +1

    worth experimenting for.... a preliminary/primary layer of matte medium or clear Gesso before adding the inks may help prevent seep through, looks awesome, love all the wrinkles!

  • @glittermama
    @glittermama Před 7 lety +2

    You have created a beautiful, permanent cover that will protect the artwork and the bible within. I use similar techniques to create similar effects, and I very much like this one and will be trying it soon. TFS. To address previous comments, there certainly is a difference between the single-sheet technique and this one, particularly if using a medium-to-thin chipboard cover.

    Looks great clove PPA. My sister worked for USARTQUEST and I started using it over 20 years ago. A good thing is it is flexible when dry so works well on the bendy parts of the spine.

    Your book came out just beautiful! I love the PPA glue. I like that it dries with a mat finish. I use it on a lot of things such as gluing a paper die cut to a foam die cut, for dimension. I always manage to use too much glue and it never shows. I pretty much use it for anything that gloss glue would show up on. It does not work on foil die cuts though. When it gets on the foil, it will not come off and the flat area sticks out like a sore thumb. Thanks for the video. I enjoyed seeing the technique and how pretty your Bible turned out.

    I am honestly not that religious. I mean, the last time I went to church was for my confirmation and I'm 16. I was confirmed actually around this time last year. So have no fear, this does not scare me when you cut a small hole from the Bible. I have good reasoning, but (knowing the type of catholics I know) you would respect my views, and from the comments, you all seem like people that would completely respect my point of view. So thank you all, and you are an AMAZING crafter.

    Sandy, when I was experimenting with the faux leather look many years ago I used poster board to try techniques before applying to my book. I tried different colors until I decided what I liked. Also experimented with different glues. I love your videos and this one was great too! P.S. It is so wonderful to watch Christian artists on CZcams and am glad I found you.
