So cool

I heard from somewhere ( I think Froyle Art) that only certain years work for the National Geographic. Also, temperature and humidity play a huge role. I tried it in winter over a year ago, and it didn't work, but perhaps I'll try again this summer.

I think you are right about Froyle Art. I've tried all years with no difficulty, but then again National Geo has been around forever. Due to the mess I only create these papers in the summer, so I don't know about the temp and humidity. It's a great point to remember. I make a mess and spread my papers all over the backyard in the summer...LOL! Indoor is not an option.

Will any magazine work?

[@CreativeRiseArt]

@@bruno1285 I’ve never tried but I’ve been told no. It works best with old National Geographic’s due to the ink quality used when printing. I had old magazines given to me and these are the ones in the video. National Geographic has very high quality printing and paper in their magazines, thus the Citra Solv seems to make the ink “melt” in unusual and organic ways. I hope that helps. If you find out it works for you on other magazines I would love to know. Thanks so much.
