Come Learn with Me…Art Journaling…Glue

I wanted to find out what is the best glue to use in my Art Journal.

I had Matt Medium, Gloss medium/Varnish, glue with water (so it spreads more easily) and Mod Podge
First I used tissue paper to glue down, as it is light weight.
All of the glues, worked great for this.
When I used thick paper (it was water colour paper) all were okay, but when I started to pick at them, the best one was the glue with water. The rest of them peeled up, except the glue with water and the Gloss Medium/Varnish that I added a top coat to.
The reason I added colour to the paper, was to see if the colour would bleed. It did not bleed on any of the glues.
















I have more detailed information in my video :)

I hope you all had a Creative Tuesday :)

I am so close to completing my art journal page….so close ;)

  2. I can't believe the white glue was the best sticker downer! I'm laughing about Luna in the bloopers and your green weights in the background :)

  9. This is really great information on types of glue for those of us that have not ventured into the art journals. I'll have to refer to your post on what to purchase.
