Ever so slowly, I am making my way to the eventual completion of “Bathroom in Paris” while still managing to avoid the temptation to order new kits from Diamond Art Club. When I changed back to working on BIP after I finished my friend’s custom turtle piece, I tore the clear cellophane covering off and started using something called “release paper.” These are squares of specially-treated paper that you place over the sticky (uncompleted) parts of the canvas. I highly prefer it over the cellophane. You don’t have to cut it or section it with washi tape, you need only place the squares on the canvas and peel one off to work on a section. It’s so much easier, and it doesn’t fray, rip, or curl up on the ends like the cellophane eventually does. I like the ease of simply peeling off a square of release paper, working on a section, then sticking it back when I’m done--or throwing it out in triumph if I finish the section. It’s a total game changer.
Making and braking bread is so much fun, and your olive loaf looks delicious. I'd love to have a hot buttered piece! 😋
