Many people have been asking me what is Chin Colle?
Chin Colle is a printmaking technique in which one piece of paper (the print) is adhered to another piece of paper, usually a heavier piece of paper. It is fairly simple to do but many people think it is a tedious process. I used it often when I did printmaking in college because I did many prints based upon old fabrics. I thought it was appropriate to cut my prints out using pinking shears and then use Chin Colle to finish them. The end result was lovely!
