Lol thank so much! I plan on doing more D&D vids so stay tuned for that. As far as that particular book is concerned, it has gone the way of the Dodo. But, not to worry, I have so many more tales to tell ☺️
Good morning Pam! I prefer a less-uniform antiquing effect on my papers - usually achieved by pouring cups of coffee on legal documents like mortgages, purchase and sales agreements, wills, probate applications, plea deals...
when dying paper if you add a little bit of baking soda to the coffee it'll reduce the acidity and make the paper less brittle with age. If you plan to keep any died paper for the long term I recommend doing this.
Someone taught me a loooooooong time ago (I'm old(er)... lol), that when burning edges, it's safer and easier to take a paint brush dipped in plain water, and "paint" a "border", 1/4", 1/2", or whatever works for your project, in, from the outside edge of the paper (If that makes sense). That way you can squiggle the brush to get jagged-y edges, but the water will help to put out the fire and save your work... And more importantly, your house or workspace. If you want the burnt edge to "dip" in further, let it dry and re-paint a new "border" with water, allowing the water-dipped brush to swoop (in toward the center) more, til you get it the way you like. This also works great for making burnt holes, in fabric or paper too, for a real fire damaged look, without so much risk total destruction... hahaha Oooo... Also, if you work with Archival Ink (waterproof), fineliner or other, pens and coat the entire front and back of the dried paper, after dying it, with Mod Podge, or white glue mixd with a bit of water, it will wrinkle and warp while wet, and dry mostly flat... But will make it feel almost leathery and make the paper a bit stronger too! Anyways... Great Video! I Love this idea and wish I could have found people that were more into props and such when I used to play back in the 80's! lol Very cool!
Amazing! Thanks so much for the tips. I will have to remember the water trick for my next adventure with fire, and using modpodge to coat the paper. I'm in the same boat as you - wish I had friends into fun crafts when I was younger. Cosplay wasn't even a thing when I was in highschool!
@@TotalPamarchy YW... I hope the tips help in upcoming projects... I've been costuming forever (Esp for my gamer nephew (since he was 5... 21 now), friends and myself of course, but so much more fun when you have others around to bounce ideas off of. It's so sad there's not like a crafters club, for meet ups to hang out and make/build things together.... Best of luck in all your ventures!
Pam, Wonderful work. I'm curious, but have you ever considered first staining your paper with either tea or cheap red wine, drying it, then creating your map? Please know I've never done this myself, but I’d welcome witnessing a craftswoman such as yourself trying this in a video. I'd welcome your thoughts in regard to this technique. Thank you, and God bless.
I haven't tried wine, but I have tried tea as a method to age paper. I have a video on those methods. But you've definitely piqued my curiosity about the wine. I might have to try that sometime :) Thanks so much for watching!
I believe I used a mixed media paper or water color paper. Anything a bit thicker will help if you're "aging" the paper. But truly you can use a thicker copy paper too, you might just have to be more careful with it ☺️
Thanks so much Asghar. I'm glad you liked it. Talismans or medallions...? That's a really good idea! I will have to add it to the list :) Thanks for watching!
Ahhh The Realms of Betty Crocker. Great work as always Pam, keep up the D&D vids and get that book done!
Lol thank so much! I plan on doing more D&D vids so stay tuned for that. As far as that particular book is concerned, it has gone the way of the Dodo. But, not to worry, I have so many more tales to tell ☺️
I really enjoy watching your videos! Your approach to creating things is relatable and inspirational. Thanks for the content!
Thank you so much! I think you just made my day 😊
Good morning Pam!

Haha I have also done that in the past, despiyall attempts to prevent it.

Oh awesome! Thanks for the tip 😊
@@TotalPamarchy you're very welcome, it's something I learnt not too long ago and I wanted to help you and others ^_^
I'll definitely have to remember that for next time. I think that would be useful for journals, etc too. Or ancient tomes ;)

Haha you might be disappointed
Super nice and incredibly helpfull!!!!

My pleasure! Thanks for watching ☺️

You're very welcome! Thanks for watching!
Loved this, have you tried using the grounds instead of just coffee? Would that make it too dark?
Thanks! I haven't tried just the grounds, but am now wondering how that would turn out as well. Might be worth the experiment :)
Good stuff.
Thanks so much! And thanks for watching 😁

Is that an amethyst geode fragment on a small cake stand as though it were a slice of pie???
lol Maybe... 🤔
I do love amethyst ;)
What type of paper should I buy for my scroll?
I believe I used a mixed media paper or water color paper. Anything a bit thicker will help if you're "aging" the paper. But truly you can use a thicker copy paper too, you might just have to be more careful with it ☺️
Thank you
