I add distilled water to the YES to thin it a bit and it works very well for all sorts of purposes... and doesn't cause the paper to wrinkle. Thanks for your suggestion which supports my own findings. And thanks for the compliment about my work being different than most. I strive for that. And that's why i tossed most of my appropriated images and base my work on my own papers, drawings, and photos. I've been absent from blogging for awhile but am feeling the pull to return to the discipline.Jo Reimerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17381636308808299868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13028801.post-45842295128763280702017-09-01T14:27:01.198-07:002017-09-01T14:27:01.198-07:00Hi Jo, i just happened upon your blog via Pinteres...Hi Jo, i just happened upon your blog via Pinterest. Love your collages; they're so different than most. You keep it interesting and create very nice work. I was surprised that you hadn't yet discovered YES Paste in regards to your wrinkling issues. It's an acid free, archival all purpose glue that lets you stick things down flat and even the lightest most delicate papers don't wrinkle. Non toxic, water based, no solvents, easy to clean up and it dries clear. Comes in a nice big fat 1 pint jar so will last you a long time. Michaels might carry it in the U.S. Here in Canada I have to get it at an art supply store. A little expensive but well worth it to never have to worry about wrinkles again. Hope this helps. Continued happy arting!Lorrainahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07503904212738268753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13028801.post-58845753706711352052016-12-21T16:47:16.624-08:002016-12-21T16:47:16.624-08:00Thanks for the great tips.

I tried dipping the papers in water but it created too much of a mess for my taste. It would work best if glue is added to the substrate rather than to the paper. I'd love to know what glues he used... maybe wallpaper paste!Jo Reimerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17381636308808299868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13028801.post-54828858733300186982015-09-08T07:59:56.961-07:002015-09-08T07:59:56.961-07:00Great ideas; I will try to remember them in the he...Great ideas; I will try to remember them in the heat of the moment! I just watched a video of Romare Bearden working, and he dipped his cut papers in a bucket of water before gluing them down!Ruth Armitagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06645146132177812407noreply@blogger.com
