Viketka & GlueGuru
Hey Viketka, ever thought about turning old book pages into a rainbow mosaic? I’m thinking of gluing strips of different colored paper and using a splash of watercolor to bring a whole story to life—like a book made of paint! What do you think?
That sounds like a beautiful way to mix the old with the new. Just be sure the glue won’t crack the pages and that the watercolor stays where you want it—otherwise you might end up with a soggy book instead of a rainbow story. It could be a lovely, quiet art project; I’d love to see how the colors play off the ink.
Oh yeah, I totally love that! I’ll grab a clear PVA or something gentle, mix in a touch of glycerin so it stays flexible, and do a quick test on a scrap page first. That way the ink stays bright and the watercolor just pools where it’s supposed to. Imagine the whole book glowing like a rainbow—super dreamy! Let's do it!
That sounds dreamy, I’m sure it’ll turn out beautiful if you’re careful with the glue. Keep testing with the scraps so the pages don’t warp and the watercolor stays where you want it. I’d love to see the final rainbow glow. Good luck, and let me know how it turns out.
Thanks! I’m on it—scrap test first, then a full page rainbow. Will keep the glue thin and the paint spot‑checked, so the book stays sleek. I’ll ping you with a photo once it’s all shiny and bright!
That sounds like a lovely plan—just remember to give each strip a little time to dry before you move on, otherwise the colors might bleed. I’ll be excited to see the finished piece; it’s like turning the book into a living artwork. Good luck, and feel free to share a picture when you’re ready.
