Thank you Elizabeth! There is everything to love about these - building one’s collage stash and what a great idea for those days when you just need to play or are feeling stuck.

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

You’re so right!! My pleasure

[@senojah]

I would love to see some of how you used these in a finished piece of art. Thanks

This was fun! I need to try it again. Of course I had thrown out all my cardboard right before I watched this!

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Awe bummer! Well, you’ll get more!

Thank you for sharing this with me. I love it.

[@lindaperkins4716]

I would love to see how you used these in a project. Love these. You always explain things so well. And you don't go too fast to follow you. Thank you for that. Just got a gift certificate for my birthday for Joggles. Now I have to decide what stencils to choose of yours to order. Hard decision!

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Thanks for taking time to day so!

[@christinasmart1646]

thanks for posting, Elizabeth! I'm going to use this on an old painting that never seemed finished.

You are quite welcome! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment

[@deborahthompson3847]

I find the difference between the front and back of the tissue very interesting as well. One side is shiny and more intensity in the colour than the front. Love playing this way. Thank you for sharing.

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

The backside gets shiny because of the way the acrylic dries on the plastic trash bag. But the backside is the side that will get glued down in my collage work, and my glue is shiny so that will go away!

This was lovely, Elizabeth. What fun. Have to do a little prep for it -- the project won't fit into the 18 square inches on my desk. Thanks for the link to the paper. -Barbara

I like what you did with the deli paper. Gonna give it a whirl!

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

The effect was pretty neat!

[@sarinaparhawk]

The papers turned out beautiful... They remind me of tie-dyed silk sarees from India. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

They really do look like that! Thank you very much, I appreciate your compliment

[@BigMoepar]

That's cool. I've used ne of those stretch type kitchen garbage bags underneath, & had gotten a neat snake skin effect on back side.

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Neat! Another great texture

[@sherrydee]

Oh my gosh, SOOOOOOO beautiful! The texture is breathtaking. I’d have a hard time tearing those up!

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Well I will probably look at them for a little while, and then some of them will go to my paper of the month subscribers. And then I will tear up just a little bit of it :-)

[@cathygreear2598]

Wow lovely inked tissue paper. Love the foiled tissue paper.

I think the foiled tissue paper is the key!

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Oh yay! Perfect timing.

[@Karmakat59]

Beautiful papers, love it 😍. I've only found much smaller sheets of Deli paper so I've found that using White GARBAGE BAGS (cut open and placed on Foam core boards from the Dollar store) are larger and can fit at least 2 sheets of Tissue paper on them.

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

GREAT!!!

[@kyleoliver9538]

These papers are stunning and so much fun to make. I used some to wrap small gifts for a friend who does collage, she loved them. Now making more for me. I tried black and magenta on either end and blended in the middle, very striking. Earth tones like burnt sienna and red oxide are nice too with the gold dots. Thank you for sharing this technique Elizabeth!

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

[@RobinGayl]

Beautiful! Have you tried using palette paper underneath the tissue paper and letting it dry on it?

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

when I paint tissue I do a LOT at once so that I do not have to do it that often, so I use trash bags!

[@Hedgehogsinthemist123]

Beautiful papers. I love the crinkle texture of them. I like to use mop up papers. I splatter some metallic inks over the top to finish them off. Thanks for sharing.

[@pammclennan1642]

You make interesting and fun videos. Thank you for this one using tissue paper. Would alcohol inks work with this technique or would the colours be too translucent?

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Hi thank you so much! I don’t use alcohol inks so I cannot say. I guess just give it a try!

[@lindseywarren44]

Hullo, Elizabeth! What a beautiful tutorial 😍 I absolutely adore Magenta and Orange together. Beautiful. And those inks are so yummy! I would love a set of them. I recently suffered a nasty fall and fractured my left arm in 3 places and badly sprained my right (dominant) wrist. I've been very down these past few weeks because doing art hurts. I know that I must be patient & heal, but it's very difficult for me to want to paint and not be able. I am consoling myself with a replay of your vids 😁 You always cheer me up and I am most grateful. Thank you, darling girl! 😘 Much Love and Bless xo

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

I hope that you get better soon! That’s a terrible position to be in. Art is so therapeutic and I’m glad that you are enjoying my videos. I’m totally with you, magenta and orange together is like magic! Thanks for taking the time to comment Lindsey

[@sharonlarge7908]

[@LarkOnWheels]

These are gorgeous! When you started throwing that ink around, I thought “what is she doing?” But wow! I’ve had success with cheap tissue paper on the gel plate- has a lovely soft hand when done but I did not find them to be fragile.

thanks so very much! I love the dotted metallic tissue, I think that's the clincher!

[@rutbrea8796]

So, after giving these colors to these textures, what do you do with them? You place them on a frame? Add it to a canvas for a painting?

Hi, Elizabeth! I enjoyed this video very much. Now I have to get some of that tissue paper. I was wondering: Do you know if you could get the same effects using India ink instead of acrylic ink? Thank you!

None of my papers are acid free for the most part. When I collage with them they are encapsulated in gel medium, which is archival and isolates each layer from the next.
