tutorial on nvr-dull


first cut out the pics you want and mount to backing. For these samples I randomly ripped out pages from a home decorators catalog. (picture 1)

the taking elmers regular old school glue (trust me on this tried 4 different glues and had the best results with this) made squiggle lines, marks etc anywhere you want the color to stay (picture 2) LET THE GLUE DRY COMPLETELY

Nvr-Dull part 2

take our nvr-dull and tear off a chunk. I did this outside. Rub all over your image and the color not covered with glue will come off. I then rubbed each piece with a piece of paper towel or rag to get off excess polish (picture 3) I have been told that citra-solve also works but I can't verify it.

Readd color. The directions in the book say use color pastels--I was not satisfied with the color doing it this way so I used Cats Eyes Color box chalk. I dabbed them directly on to the paper and buffed a bit with paper towel. Backgrounds have been made. (picture 4)

hope this helps. any questions feel free to pm me.

Christy,
Thanks so much for the great illustrations. Your backgrounds are terrific, and I really love the variety of things you did with them.

OK, when I get home, I will do something with the backgrounds that I did weeks ago.

Wish I could find those people I gesso-ed weeks ago now that their time has come.

While driving home from my Mom's house on Wednesday, I heard a song on the radio in which there is one phrase I really like. I got the brilliant :clap: :idea: :clap: idea to use all the tags I have been making to write down and remember some of these lyrics of songs, quotes, etc, that we like and collect but seldom do anything with them. I will make a box or little book with pockets to keep them in.

So I used two of my first nevr dull tags to do these. Can you name the songs? No fair, googling them!
