    I’m getting ready to avocado dye some papers, so I checked into You Tube University and started my search - I will say that your video so far is my favorite 😍. It’s clear and well done, and you even went the extra mile to show the difference between just the skins and just the pits. I missed the giveaway, but I’m a winner anyway because I learned a lot from your video and now I’m a subscriber 🥰 and I’m going to check out some of your other videos! Thanks for this!

      @@BeAgainBooks, I actually do a lot of that on purpose. =). I use a lot of tombow markers when I am doing watercolor paintings. The papers that I mess up on, I just put them in my stack to dye. The result always turns out amazing. (Well, most of the time. Lol)

      Yeah it can totally be overwhelming! My first journals were soooo simple and basic and I think that really helped me learn. Also I try to make it a rule to create more then I consume. When I watch too many How To videos I get overwhelmed.

    If you dry the papers in a hot sun they get darker quicker too. Fun if you use lace or another pattern as a resist and the sun changes the background around the shape.

    • @KateMower
      @KateMower  3 роки тому

      That's good to know! That'd be nice to just leave them out and not have to worry about them getting burned. Do you have a table or flat surface outside or do you hang them? I'd like to try that but don't really have anywhere to put them outside
