Do you download your fonts?

[RachO113]

@jkmaus Yes, I sometimes use downloaded fonts in my art.

@RachO113 I also noticed that sometimes you use a glue stick to paste papers down and others times gel medium. Could you please tell me what is the difference? You are so inspiring as everyone says... Your work and these videos have helped and inspired me so much!!! I've always wanted to take art lessons but never had the opportunity. Thank you!

@jkmaus A glue stick is less permanent in some situations and papers applied with it can lift over time or if you use a heat gun over the top. That said, I find a glue stick more convenient for tiny pieces of text etc where a liquid adhesive is more dificult to work with. Gel medium is a fast, easy and reliable method to apply adhesive. It dries perfectly clear and will also form a protective film over the top of your work that will resist paint etc. It's all personal choice however.

Wow, this is breathtaking!!!! I was wondering if you waited for the Gesso to dry before going in with the distress inks? You deff. are the queen of texture my friend. AMAZING!!!

hugs,

@brooknrich Hi Brook, Yes, the gesso needs to be dry before adding inks to it, though it absorbs very quickly into chipboard and is almost dry by the time you have finished anyway - It can be dried completely with a heat gun :-)

Hi Rach0113 - I've just discovered your work. Wow! I'm very impressed! I'm sorry if this is a repeat question, but where did you find your central images (the little girl)? Thanks!
