Kind cool..but there is a gel you can buy that makes it more easy.

I ate glue as a kid

[MsKahla]

@18biohazard LOL awesome xD

[afoforeta]

Horrible!!!!

[skweeds]

What kind of gel medium do you use to top coat it? I used to use mod podge in my altered book but the pages always ended up sticking together... Does the matte gel medium seem to keep it from sticking?

[ibkristykat]

[DragunSlayor]

Well done! One question- will any kind of white/PVA glue work? I can't buy Elmer's Glue here... but I can get other kinds of white/PVA glue.

Thanks for sharing!

[arttxcentrix]

awesome! Thank you I like how it creates bigger cracks than the crackle mediums. Happy creating!

Nicely done...very helpful. A couple of questions: What is the music in the vid? What is the paper used for the geisha...sounds like tissue? What is the stuff in the bottle show to color the geisha? India ink? Merci...keep it coming.

The music is from the cirque du soleli La Nouba soundtrack. The paper is just standard tracing paper. India ink would work for coloring, but I used trans mix media I like the feel of it a little more on tracing paper. Hope that helps!
