Ask Beate
Beate Johns answers your technique questions
Q: Patti asked: "Where can I find an ATG for my projects? I see them in used in some of the tutorials and wondering if it's cost effective and whether the tape comes in different widths? Thanks for the information."
A: I don't have one myself, so I went to the product forum and searched for ATG. I found this thread. There are links to different stores where you can purchase one. It seems you can purchase a 1/2" or 1/4" width gun. If you buy the 1/2" gun, you can purchase an adapter for that ATG so that you can use the 1/4" wide tape as well.

Feedback From Past Tutorials
Tanya has a suggestion for the Stained Glass Technique: "You can actually use classic [waterbased] ink to emboss on vellum as it stays wet long enough to hold the embossing powder. I did this technique for a votive surround with Holy Triptych last year and it turned out gorgeous!"
