Hi Cat I have not long discovered your tutorials. I have just taken the taster course. I am new to collage and am excited by it. Need to gather a few materials. Love your tutorials so inspiring. Thank you
Hello Catherine, thank you so much for all your videos, I love seeing them when I have a bit of time (not always sadly!) they are wonderful, very interesting, you're the queen of collage hand-made papers!! ❤🥰🤗 I watxhed the two parts this time, both are great and your backgrounds gorgeous!!
Wednesdays have become my favourite day of the week Cat! That is if i can catch you live from here in Australia. Otherwise it is Friday night, the week has finished and I have your brilliant ideas to watch and then play with for the weekend. TY TY TY
Just ordered through Etsy some really nice rollers. I can put a thin layer of modeling paste down and I will get a more textured design. Thanks for the idea!!
Hello Catherine, what beautiful collage papers! I might have missed the explanation, but what is the purpose of the wall paper paste? And why do you wet the papers on both sides? Thank you!
The paste creates dimension when paint is added to it, and then spread across the paper. You wet both sides to get the winkles out of the paper before applying the paste/paint. Then when you scrape something over it to make the design, you don't see any wrinkles because the paper was wrinkled to begin with. The wetting first also helps the paste to adhere to the paper.
Hello Catherine! I'm so happy to have found you. I love your paste paper techniques. I teach art to elders and we've made paste papers for covering our homemade journals. I'm going to have to teach some your awesome techniques to add to the fun. Have you ever used metallic paint for paste papers?
This would be a fabulous technique for seniors. Really most of my demos would be appropriate and fun for them. I haven't used metallics for this, although its a great idea!
Hi Catherine - wonderful designs - question: if you don’t use Nova paints, what do you suggest? Fluids? Could you ever use acrylics out of the tube to mix with the paste? 28:18
You can use any acrylics with this technique. If its full bodied paint, you probably can add less paint. Fluids would probably need a bit more to get the opaqueness you are looking for.
Wallpaper paste is not glue, and I'm guessing it's archival since they use it to apply wallpaper, but I'm not sure. the paste makes your paint very thick and stays wet a long time so that you can create amazing textures with it, similar to using a gel plate, but different.

You are such a doll, thank you my friend. I'm honored that you watch my videos every week. THANK YOU!
In Canada 32 oz wallpaper paste is $27.99 will make my own 😊❤
Great idea! I know many people make their own. Rather cheap to buy 16 oz here in the states and it lasts forever!

Hello Catherine loving your paper creation! Thank you. I dont know what “paste” would be - trying to identify the similar materials in Brazil…
Google wallpaper paste. You can also make your own, many recipes on the internet. Have fun!

So beautiful 😻
Thank you! 😊
What is the point in mixing paste in with the pigments? Is this archival? Is this paste actually a white glue?
Wallpaper paste is not glue, and I'm guessing it's archival since they use it to apply wallpaper, but I'm not sure. the paste makes your paint very thick and stays wet a long time so that you can create amazing textures with it, similar to using a gel plate, but different.
beautiful... lovely techniques.
You are very kind, thank you so much.
