RS Techniques

What other techniques are people interested in learning more about? I actually would like to know more about mirror images. Every time I've tried it, the mirror image always comes out faded. Any suggestions?

What result do you get with the bleach and floor wax?

There was a project in "The Rubber Stamper" a while back using condensed milk to stamp, carmelizing it with the heat gun. I never tried it, but it looked and sounded very interesting. Anyone tried stamping with unusual media, other than inks?

I saw that too and couldn't help but wonder if it would "sour" after a while. Has anybody tried this?

I've stamped with bleach and used bleach in my aqua painter. I've also used floor wax in my aqua painter.

I have not actually used the bleach technique myself yet but saw it demonstrated by Carol Sutter of Sutter Stamps on her DVD - Light & Dark Technique. She used it to bring light into her skies. She just used a brush & lightly brushed her sky to create breaks like you would in the sunsets on a cloudy day. VERY effective. Hope this gives you some ideas. Liz

I used bleach at a stamp convention class last year. We stamped a birch forest stamp in black, embossed in clear powder (to create a no-bleed boundary). It was on a light olive green card stock. Then we used bleack to color the birch tree trunks. Then used paints to color the leaves shades of rust. Very interesting effect!
