I never believed in spells until my friend introduced me to him. At first, I was skeptical about him because I heard a lots about false spell casters but I put my doubts behind me for i was desperate to get my husband back and I did according to what he instructed me to do. Now my husband is back just within 48 hours of contacting him. I'm living happily with my husband again after 6 months of divorce and I will not rest till he's known all over the world. He's also specialize in money spells, lottery spells, sickness spells E.T.C.

In fact, the article made me come back to this blog to read up on Jane's sanding projects.

It IS part of what shows up in the process. If the image is "finished", but there is a ridge that is distracting, then I would paint over it or something like that. I don't see the physical texture as a problem, as I am using pretty thin papers and any physical texture is subsumed by the image. But if there is something visual you can just paint over it.Jane Davieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06062718110759969682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1041249677192613494.post-18787151556642479212019-03-27T13:28:39.417-04:002019-03-27T13:28:39.417-04:00Cool!

Other than sanding them down, have you found a way to deal with the edges, or simply live with the texture they create?

I don't generally do any planning of my pieces, but this process allows me to really lean into the aspect of surprise, and also letting go. The extreme unpredictability has so much to teach. They are not very tactile, actually.

He uses a similar technique of layer upon layer, sanding them as he goes. He differs in that he carves botanicals into the layers. While the end result is different, the process is similar.<br />dvgalleryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11353205402430332430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1041249677192613494.post-14431684678040716502019-03-22T12:34:56.324-04:002019-03-22T12:34:56.324-04:00I am wondering if you might also try, on the top l...I am wondering if you might also try, on the top layer of collage with magazine paper, gluing an image face down (making sure not to put glue/gel on the top), letting that dry then wetting and working away all but the glued down ink layer with your thumbs. I did some of that years ago and got some interesting effects. I love to experiment and admire that you have gone way beyond my efforts.
