Q: Hilda asks: "What stays on your desk all the time?"

A: A mess! A mess stays on my desk all the time. I do always have all my essentials in reach - especially coloring mediums, paint brushes, inks and adhesives. I have a little basket of stamps that I never put away - those are script and texture stamps that I always reach for when making backgrounds. On the other side of my desk I have a magazine rack that holds my MISTIs, trimmer, and Scor-Buddy - those are used for almost every card. Other essential tools I always keep at hand are strong reverse tweezers, white acrylic paint or gesso, a ball stylus, sand eraser, and a container of water for painting.

Jane has a tip for the Tissue Paper Watercolor tutorial: "I use paper towels to clean up after doing sessions like this or any other colouring medium. Once the paper towel is used up (not much white area left) I dry it, peel the 3 layers apart, and use them just the same way as you use your tissue. I often iron them and stick them to a light card, or scrunch them for your techniques. I find I get all kinds of colours, especially if I've been using mica or metallic paints and inks."
