I like my papers to be a little trashy, so the filmy softness of the deli paper makes it feel layered and softer to me. The benefits of the deli paper are that 1)it does indeed reinforce the old papers and 2)it is gentler on my pens when I write on it. Sometimes the gesso and acrylic paint make the writing surface a little scratchy for the Pitt pens I use to write. I think they wear out faster (and they are expensive!)The deli paper is nice and smooth.

I have done a little lettering, but really should buck up and carve an entire set of letters so that I can use them more often to spell out different words and phrases. I've done short phrases on individual stamps, but then I rarely use them. Must make more!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02473407676400346271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1300198308327571883.post-14156372649952759242013-03-10T13:58:23.572-04:002013-03-10T13:58:23.572-04:00Thanks Corrine!
