Y’all will love this faux rice paper tutorial. The results are really gorgeous.
I made this last weekend - it comes out SO COOL. I used freezer paper as the release paper (she used a cereal liner) and it worked great

Very cool! What did you use? And now, what will you do with it?
I’m most interested in the sewing pattern paper, I love that stuff. & the cheese cloth.
I used… sewing paper patterns! I have some really awesome tissue paper that I want to make next. It is dark, and 49Dragonflines didn’t like the way the dark came out, so I am prolly going to wait to make it until I have some space in my crafting schedule before I bother. I have like 6 projects to finish before I should start something new
Word, sister. So many projects, lol.
She did one with cheese cloth on top of tissue, that could lighten dark? Or tint the glue with white paint for a milky wash. Or a layer of white tissue under or over top maybe.

I’m so happy to see this. I’ve been having a rotten time at work lately, and starting my Monday morning with art and you lovely friends will be good for my soul 
Looking forward to seeing you all

Ooh thanks for the heads up @geekgirl I’ve some friends coming around earlier in the day, we’re doing wedding crafting for one of their weddings, but I hope to be finished by then.
Re gold leaf, and in my capacity as craft supplies pusher, it’s actually really cheap on AliExpress. You just need the leaf and size (go for brand you know in your local craftstore) it’s fun to experiment with.
This is one of hundreds of suppliers.
Of course it’s no good for this week, but fun to have in hand.
@jemimah I’m sorry to hear you’re having a tough time at work. Hopefully we’ll help put a smile on your face

I’m dedicated to planting the veggie garden this weekend…hmmm, maybe I should apply art journaling techniques to the layout. Fun.
I’ve actually tried being more artsy about planting a veggie garden, but it’s not efficient with our space and multitude of veggies. But it’s my dream.
Oh I want to join so much but not sure if I can. We possibly have another commitment at the same time. I’ll be there if those plans fall through.
I think I’m going to sit this one out–maybe next time.
I can join if I get an invitation
Just sent!
