I also use paper paints which work very well. Actually there is little you can't "marry" to quilling. Good job!! Your blog is very well done and informative.

I think the last one looks best. I don't like the "halo" around B. Maybe a cotton swab soaked in coffee could be used to get into small places and eliminate the halo? I love this idea!

I'm sure your papers will quill just fine. If they have gotten a bit wrinkled, just run them over your fingernail and they should straighten right out. Hi, Pat,

So good to hear from you again. Not knowing what the long-term effect of the acid is on the paper, I probably would not use this technique with an heirloom piece of quillwork. Hi, Gail!

I have to be careful about spilling my drink while I craft, also. It was a lot of fun staining the papers on purpose. Hi, Zonia!
