Sometimes that can work for you though (in adding texture) and other times it can drive you crazy.The india ink didn't wrinkle the vellum much at all as they used small brushes and used the ink for outlines, with the craypas oil pastels adding depth and color -I used a medium weight (not the super thin type) vellum from a local office supply shop. The glue is the permanant glue stick type - not a wet glue and it doesn't need too much to stick well... just dot around the edges. .love your idea katherine of the staples and the curve. very cooI and i will definitely be trying that one out! I will snap a photo of the final pieces tomorrow and add them in here. sorry about that! If you use too much wet of anything vellum will wrinkle for sure!

And the India ink didn't wrinkle it either? what kind of vellum are you using!?! Also- I've done a project where you draw a regular picture, and then staple a picture on transparent paper on the front of it- but you curve the 'background picture' so that it looks like a 1/2 circle, and keep the transparent flat. . .essentially making the whole thing a 1/2 circle- so that it shows depth. . .It's a great way to teach kids about foreground and background.

Is there a type of glue that works better than others? This is a great idea — will have to try it. Is there a type of glue that works better than others?

I think it is because I like to glue everything with Mod Podge which makes the vellum all wrinkly.I wish these pictures were bigger to see more details.Very cool idea.
