Hey Nexus!
I've always been quite interested in blotter art, and have spent many an evening browsing online galleries to see what is on sale these days.
A little while back I stumbled across a post from a well-known Shroomerite who works with blotter art, and then it suddenly came to my mind that this is something I could dive into as well.
I've spent the past couple of days googling and searching around all kinds of forums, but most of what I found was still a bit vague and did not go into any detail at all.
It would be great if anyone experienced with making blotter art could pitch in and give a few pointers on how best to get started, or tips on good equipment and techniques to achieve a high quality print.
I would like to make it absolutely clear that I'm posting here asking for information and advice for hobbyist/art purposes/general interest only, I have no intent of dipping/selling these.
The biggest question I have concerns the perforating.
Searching around I have found a sort of pouncing wheel with a special "dotted" or "dashed" blade that you can roll over the paper (kind of like a pizza roller).
However, I've read buyer feedback that it isn't that simple to drag along the edge of a ruler to make straight cuts, so it would be quite easy to slip up.
Are there any better tools/techniques out there for perforating? Perhaps some sort of stamping tool?
Thanks
