PACKING TAPE! OMG, packing tape can be used for SO many things in your journal and your art. Â Beyond the obvious of adhering things to your work or for masking, you can use it for simple transfers and for resist areas when you’re painting. Â I’ve been using it to lift pencil, pastel and watercolor off of some of my recent works. Â THEN, I got a bunch of pastel dust on a light colored shirt. Â What happens when you wipe that off? EXACTLY! You just rub it in. Â So I reaches for me handily-dandily ol’ packing tape and sure enough: Lifted The Dust Off My Shirt! Â Packing tape made it so that my wife didn’t kill me. :)
