Tea Paper
Posted on Sunday, August 2nd, 2009 at 11:15 pm
Can you use the tea stain aging method on paper that’s been printed?
I’m doing a History project, and I’d thought it’d be cool if I made my paper look all old and antique. I was just wondering, would it work if I printed my project and then tea stained it? Or should I tea stain it first and then print it? Thank you!
Originalpaint seems to be the expert !!
I would TEST the tea-stain method on a rough draft sheet FIRST though… to ensure that the moisture won’t blur the printing: an inkjet page will probably blur !!
When I was doing theater-props and needed aged money, papers, books, scrolls etc… I’d just tea-stained & press ironed an entire reem of paper so I always had some on hand.
The key with almost ANY such project… TEST it on scrap FIRST… nothing worse than crying over a lost project because you ‘effect’ destroyed it.
GOOD LUCK !!
