Coffee Dying Paper and Making Book Page Flowers
no better way to spend the night than creating art
I got some new stencils and I’m trying them out tonight.
I’ve used this method before, although sometimes I prefer a more natural and organic look like the paper in the photo above.
These papers will go in my junk journals, as is, or embelished in some way.
For stencil dying, I take a stack of white copy paper and a stack of large stencils and put them on the table beside the dying surface.
I lay down a sheet of paper, and a stencil on top of it.
Next, I spray the paper and stencil with coffee, not trying to get every area covered, and not trying to get things sprayed evenly.
It looks better when there is a variation of color, so that is what I try for.
Next, I lay another blank sheet on top of the first one, spray, and then keep alternating with paper and stencil.
Tonight I’m using a new set on stencils I just purchased, and there are a variety of shapes, patterns and designs.
There are florals, numbers, and random shapes.
They will probably be dry before morning, because I only sprayed a light layer.
