Carla, I'm enthralled by your techniques and skill. I'm curious: in how-to 3a you list glass fibre glue. Is this the only type of glue that works in this case? If so, is there another name for it?

@georgevogelin

No, I don't know another name for it, but you can use any glue that will work with acrylic (wood glue...) or heavy gel medium.

Awesome painting, however I cant find caparol in my country, do you know if it has another name?

[carlavandenberg]

It's an acrylic resin binder. Thanks for your comment!

[iwuvsjimmy21]

omg your awesome! I am so happy to find your channel! I have wanting to learn how to do this type of stuff for awhile! I love all the texture! The stuff you said you find in a christmas box was it shredded paper or that tinsel type stuff?

[carlavandenberg]

No, it wasn't shredded paper so I guess it must be that tinsel type stuff :)

Thanks for your comment!

@georgevogelin

Yes, I do.

@carlavandenberg

Thanks. I notice you add glue along the top edge of the cotton and then use a putty knife to add plaster of paris. Is the plaster added while the glue's still wet?

[carlavandenberg]

Thank you Maureen!

Don't be jealous, I had it for my own, but since a while I share my studio with my friend. But you're right, it's a fine place we have. This building used to be a fire station in the past, in a little village in the north of The Netherlands. In our studio used te be two fire engines.
