I would never have thought of spraying paper with spray starch Annie - I suppose it was successful because of the thickness of the Khadi. I love this and am not surprised it sold!

Thank you John and Adele. I think I was desperate and found I had nothing to lose by trying it !

Painted onto really thick Indian paper (Khadi). The paper surface wasn't quite crisp enough for me so I sprayed it with spray starch a couple of times, which worked really well. The textures are created using sponges. I framed it into a recycled frame with the rough edges of the paper showing (I don't cut hand made paper but break it). I must have done something right because it sold straight away!
