Design Texture: Glue 2

Video Transcript

"So you cover it with ink. When the ink is dry and, again, this isn't going to be immediate. You take a piece of sandpaper, and you want a fine sandpaper, you don't want a coarse sandpaper. I actually find these little sandpaper disks, that they sale at the craft store, to be really easy to use because it's not this big piece of paper. What you're going to do is sort of let it ride over the surface so that you expose the top of the glue, of the relief. That's how you, basically, are going to make your picture. So, you're essentially sort of making a relief picture. You go over that until you feel you have all the ink off, that you want off. This is fairly subtle but what you end up with is a white on black, opposed to a black on white picture. Again, you can see, once you try it out, then you could see. You could even have a picture to refer to and you could build up a picture of a house, or whatever, by using the tip of your glue. You can use this, I'm just going to go on top because this is easier to see but you could build. There's no reason why you couldn't do this with a more realistic image. You want to go back to get a more even line, a more consistent line, because this stuff tends to come out in these little blobs and then strings. So, you might want to go back, or if you want a thicker line, there's nothing to say you can't have a thick line, it's going to take longer to dry. You can manipulate it that way, it doesn't have to be a scribble, it can actually be a drawing but you can't really go wrong with Elmer's glue. If you don't want to use ink, then you can use Temper paint and you're all set."
