I'm kind of astounded at how many people use coffee and acidic glues in their artwork. I really hate to see people's beautiful work ruined by acid or mold. People work so hard on their beautiful art journals. Some of them are stunning. It's just best to use PVA neutral glue instead of other glues. You can make your own home made Modge Podge by getting a PVA neutral glue and watering it down. Acidic glues like Elmer's will turn dark brown in a few years. I use PVA neutral non acidic glue because it will stay clear forever and won't oxidize. As for food, coffee can mold. Never, ever use a food product in your artwork or you can get mold into all your supplies. Then they will have to be thrown out and replaced or you will never get rid of the mold in your artwork. The only people I know who understand this have learned it in art school or university. I wish so much that there was more knowledge about acidic glues and food products molding artwork and art supplies. There needs to be a channel dedicated to nothing by art supplies and how to use them.

[@jeanettereynolds3151]

I didn't realise my comment said enable its EDABLE

[@ForTheLoveOfMike]

Thank you Tweety 💙
Can we just use Modge Podge or PVA based glue and Fogo the coffee or tea bags over my one ply napkin? The napkin already has structure, I don't know why I'd put tea bags over the top as I've seen on other channels 🤔
I appreciate the time you took to educate about our supplies 😊

[@physina]

You can add a little baking soda to any solution to increase the pH ( lower pH = more acid). If concerned, you can purchase inexpensive pH strips to get a rough idea of pH. Once a coffee solution is dry, it would be unlikely to mold. Any paper can mold under the right conditions. The amount of moisture that it takes to grow mold depends on the fungus. Musty smelling paper materials can be placed in a plastic bag with baking soda to help dry them out and remove the odor. Once they develop an actual mold, they will be stained and difficult to recover. Hope this helps.

[@sandrabiscarner9587]

They have used different foods for paints and dyes that go back over a centuries. There are ways to preserve.

[@lynnval33]

I would use drops of dye or something not coffee

[@user-sz8wx3yl9d]

Cereal packets and shopping bags,plastic bin liners work well too,a d I use glue n water ,spray texture to finish.

[@kateconrad7463]

Oh - this is a wonderful idea. I just found your channel and am so glad that I came across this video. I appreciate that you waited until the next day to peel off the napkin from the freezer paper - I wouldn’t have known to use a blade to separate the layers. Adding the coffee is another idea I wouldn’t have thought of doing. Great video - well paced and well explained. Thanks for sharing this.

[@SharonHoerth]

Thanks so much Kate for your nice comments! Glad you liked the video. 💕

[@jekalambert9412]

Thanks for posting this very clear and understandable tutorial. I appreciate that you decided to include the part about removing the dried sheets from the freezer paper. I'm seeing lots of possibilities with this technique, especially using multiple layers of tissue paper to create interesting collage effects.

Thank you so much Jeka! That sounds like a cool idea. Have fun experimenting!
