    I’m curious what the ghost prints look like! Really interesting-thank you!

      Actually, the ghosts didn’t print much, I was quite surprised. Thank you for watching 🤗

    Amazing to watch you experiment with paints; watching the creative process is just fascinating to me.

    Another stunning video, thank you! Yes the Akua is a capricious and moody friend, especially the black often gives me effects I didn’t expect, but in my case that’s what I love about it. Sometimes effects that I try to reproduce, for a video or so, and then I can’t! Looking forward to Part 2… 🙋🏻‍♀🙏🏽

      Thank you Tina! I’ve ordered Lamp Black to see if that’s a bit more consistent, bit yes you’re right, happy accidents are fun 🤩

    Indeed the black is very stiff at the level of the ink, You can soften the ink with cooked linseed oil. Excuse me I went too fast you are with a base water!The problem of hardness is identical you can correct with glycerin. The purple is very deep it is beautiful.You can also use an alum mordant by soaking the paper before. Merci à toi

      So many interesting suggestions thank you. There’s always a solution somewhere I find! Thank you for watching 🤗

    Maybe it's the ink... I have worked with AKUA inks and I really do not like them at all. Nice work, great demo. Thank you!

      Thank you Barbara, oh what a shame! I normally like them but that black just wasn’t behaving 😢

    This is so interesting and your video is wonderful. Thank you! Could you please tell me why you used the aluminum tape along the edges? I’m sorry but it wasn’t clear to me.

    • @CollagraphPrinting
      @CollagraphPrinting  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you, really glad you enjoyed it. I used the tape to secure the edges and to create a border in the print. Sometimes with fabric you can end up with jagged edges. But it’s not necessary, if you are mounting the print and covering up the edges anyway, it won’t matter. Hope this helps
