3 ways to take the shine out of magazine and book pages

[@SightWordMovies]

Fun! Thank you! I tried your glue/water/powder mix but instead of water used strongly brewed tea. Came out very old-timey. Just found your channel and I love it!

[@snowstormcrafts8558]

That is a great idea, I will have to try it with tea. Thanks for watching ☺️

[@victoriousvalentine9779]

I prefer to use cornflour baby powder, it's not as cloudy as baby powder with talc. Matt medium is the most simple. I never use Modpodge as it's not as good as professional mediums and you can get it in 2, 4 and 5 litre tubs which I decant from

[@tashainjena]

I was just coming to ask how tea would work instead of water. Maybe going to try it this week. I have an idea for a journal.

[@snowstormcrafts8558]

I think it is a great idea. Thanks for watching 😊

[@TheEmmaHouli]

That was exactly what I was thinking thank you!

[@oktophx]

Exactly the kind of video I was looking for. I didn't want my magazine cutouts to look so much like the shiny magazine cutouts when I used them in my art.

[@snowstormcrafts8558]

Oh good, so glad you like it. 😊

[@bridgetjones8339]

I actually liked all the effects. I think they’re all interesting and could be used in a lot of different ways. Definitely expands the way you can use magazine and book pages. Very fun. Thank you

[@ninafairhurst7500]

Hi Tammy.... I found this recipe on another channel for clear gesso where I use cornstarch instead of the baby powder (probably the same results). I use it on older thin book pages, both sides, to help keep them from tearing apart. I can then paint, ink, etc and the pages still stay intact. I also use this for decoupaging on my masterboards, including sticking stamped tissue papers and it comes out really nice with no shine. I keep my mixture in a bowl like you have and it has kept for months. Thanks again!

[@snowstormcrafts8558]

Great ideas, thanks for sharing. I love hearing different ways to create. Thanks for watching ☺️

[@jenx4433]

Hi Nina, can you share the recipe or link for the gesso/cornstarch mixture as I have some old pages I’d love to “fortify”. Thanks!

[@ninafairhurst7500]

@@jenx4433 I use 1 cup PVA glue, 1/3 cup water and 3 tablespoons of cornstarch. I add more water if needed. I have had this mixture now for about 2 months and just add more water and stir good. It does leave a texture and some wrinkles just like Tammy's so test first. I haven't tried this on shiny pages though....let us know if you do this, I would be interested. Tammy started an interesting thread here!

[@gr8fng]

@@ninafairhurst7500 hi, you mentioned clear gesso earlier yet your recipe uses PVA ... would you use same quantities for both or different please?

[@ninafairhurst7500]

@@gr8fng this recipe dries clear, if you add some white acrylic paint, then it makes white gesso. To be clear, this is a homemade gesso. I do not know what is in store bought gesso, but this works great for me.... So maybe try experimenting with small amounts to see if you like it...

[@roslitajohn8551]

I love these ideas. I wished I had seen this a few months ago when I created my first junk journal. I used magazine pages and really didn't like the shine, so I covered it with paper and collaged over it. The magazine is not visible anymore. I'll try both of these. Thanks for sharing.

[@clc3897]

The reason you’re seeing spots of shine on the book pages is because of the ink used on the dark areas. If you do any kind of Gelli print with magazine transfer you know that the dark ink acts as a mask. So dark images will repel the solution applied on top. I do a lot of collage art and I’m curious how the napkin idea will work on top of the finished collages. Will have to try on something I don’t care for since you never know what will happen. Thank you for this. Will be following you.

[@snowstormcrafts8558]

Oh that makes a lot of sense I didn’t know that about the dark ink thanks for the info. I have decoupaged napkins on top of collage before when I made my Junk mail journals and it works great. Happy crafting Thanks for watching. 😉

[@snowstormcrafts8558]

I think that would be great 👍 would give a cool grunge look. Great idea. Thanks for watching. 😀

[@SillySeamstress]

I wonder if perhaps the reason you are getting the "watermark" look, as you refer to it, is from the paint brush grabbing the granules of cornstarch and pulling them off the page. I haven't tried it, but I bet that if you were to mix a small amount of corn starch into some cold water, and then cook it (not enough cornstarch to make gravy, but a thin mixture), then let it cool. Try that with or without the glue mixed in after the cornstarch and water mixture are cool. It will help dissolve the cornstarch and then it should glide over all portions of your paper evenly. You could try making some somewhat thick, and gradually thin down samples until you get the right ratio of water and cornstarch. Too thick and it will flake off. Just a thought. On a completely unrelated note, you said you had a frog in your throat. That reminds me of when my kids were little. I would say that, and they would excitedly want to see it. :) So I tried saying I'm hoarse. The excitement level skyrocketed. :) Anyway, I like where you are going with your ideas.

I think I like the napkin technique for the simplicity, But I can see where the powder would work well too. So would you say last method was like ''cream/ wall paint ... looks like beaten egg consistency? lol, An easy way to measure stuff like this is to use a digital kitchen scale. You pour in the products as you stir and just note the weight change. like glue 4 oz., water 2 more, and powder 1/3 oz stir then add in a touch more water, .2, .4 , then you know exactly 2.4

Frog in your throat it is called 'globus sensation'. Globus can be caused by many things, such as an increased tension of muscles or irritation in the throat.
