Aging your books and grimoires easily with coffe and more 🥀🍂🎃
Well, time has pased upon i decided to finally make this short tutorial 🔥
Maybe some of you should know that this is a photography tumblr, but i love tutorials too so, i decided unify both.
Lets use our coffe in a alternative and productive way to make our photos looks great !
Hmmm, no.. maybe not that way.
∆ Materials:
▲We need a couple of things that everyone can easily found in their homes.
- Cotton or brush ( i personally prefeer cotton )
- Plastic gloves. Believe me, you dont want to make your fingers dark :p
- Very dark coffe or tea. Instant coffe is what i used to use.
- A cup where you will put the coffe.
- A book, grimoire or book of shadows you would like to aging.
Don't be like me, and don't take your mother's gloves, it dosn't fit well haha.
∆ Let’s do it !
▲ First of all, and depending of the type of paper we have, when you sumerge the cotton on coffe, have to drain it a little to not exceed on the amount of liquid, or our paper will not have notorious details when it dries.
The kind of look we want.
▲ Don't be afraid of play, or even draw forms, conect with the divinity and let your imagination be ! Don’t forget that we are witchs artists ۞
I frikin love scythes ♥♥♥
▲ The stains and all tipe of marks are very welcome too !
I gonna drink my coffe while i make some magick, what could go wrong.. ups.
▲ Eventually, the paper maybe turn so much wet, but don’t alarm yourself, you can blow a little on it and belive me, if it isn’t a very delicate one, it’s gonna be fine.
▲ When you paint about to 10 pages, set it dry at the sun or a window and then keep painting.
▲ Take care too of the little details like this, since they make the diference at the end.
Im looking at you motherf******.
▲ Eventually with patience, effort and much love we´re gonna have a very old, misterious and rustic looking book ♥
And it smeells good too.
∆ Of course, this isn´t only a simple tutorial. We are witchs right?
▲ Manual works are perfect to calm and bring peace to your soul. It also can beautify and strengthen your mind while you do it:
- Acompasing your respiration.
- Displaying positive images in your mind.
- Giving to it your intentions and care.
- Silencing your mind for a while.
- Perfecting your manual skills.
- Giving yourself a break of the cotidianity.
- Keeping focused on something new.
- Reflexioning in calm about facts that you can write on it later.
▼ A few aclarations:
- Making the most amazing and beauty book of shadows dosn´t make you a better witch than any.
- You don’t really need nothing of these things to improve your soul and your afinity with nature and his spirits.
- If you are pure of heart and intentions, then you probably alredy have some especial conexion with de divinity herself.
- Don't let anybody determines what your real limits are.
- Never stop learning or searching the truth, that is what gonna make you free of chains ♥
And that’s all folks ! Hope you enjoyed my first tutorial! Feel free to coment with your own painted books, im very exiting to see them !
