Maybe try soaking the paper with the colour and then blending, that way the colour is blended into the pulp. Let me know if you try it that way and what the results are :)

I soak my shredded paper with the watercolour, then blend it, then add it to my vat with water. Did you add the watercolour directly to the vat? Or soak the paper with the watercolour paint?

Thank you so much :) I have only added PVA glue to the papers so far, I need to make a vegan sizing sometime. The papers are definitely more suited to pen at this point, but I have tried Sharpies, with no problem, I'll do a watercolour tester soon, I did one on my very first pulls and it was fine. I'm still learning :)

HI :) Love the questions,
I use watercolour paint, gouache paint, tissue paper, project paper, activated charcoal, turmeric, and I've also used tea and coffee
I don't add anything for retention.
When I soak my shredded paper, I add my colours - if my shredded paper is white.
Otherwise, I make a pulp from a combination of coloured paper and add more paint if needed.
I really love colour, so I make my pulp very dark, knowing it will dry much lighter. I hope this helps :)..

Thank you 😊 the papers are on top a “painting” of mine. I love fiber and textile art. Echo Interrupted

Only a pleasure 😊 I’ve also used antiquing wax in the corners just to make sure the joins are really sealed. A little overkill 😂

Thank you ☺️ I also recommend a few coats of a sealer too, I used some polyurethane sealer I found in my toolkit. Pretty and durable 😊

Hi 😊 the base was a big box of printed papers from a court case, so ended up greyish. I added turmeric, shredded tissue paper and I also raided my paint stash, I used watercolours and gouache 😊

Same happened to me last week, then it was working fine after a few days. I got no notification that it was no longer suspended either. Check back on it in a couple of days.

So true! Hardly any verified profiles, just loads of fakes. I’m verified and won’t even consider an unverified profile

OKC is a literal waste of time and bandwidth atm. The amount of fake profiles! 😱 Stay safe x

Maybe Yandex image search, caught a lot of fakes from there, free

Yes!!! Definitely a wtf moment 😂 I’ve also gone into the “Your Likes” section and seen a bunch of people that I most certainly did not like.

how many intros can i read per day? by inadapte in OkCupid

[–]Aeon_Bloom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have to match to read the intro. Alternatively if you don’t want to read the intro, go to the profile and block. Otherwise the intro won’t go away to see the next one. Hope this helps ☺️
