Instructions
(frame #2 above)
Begin by rolling the Rollagraph wheel across 2 colors at once, in this instance, Crafter's Ink colors- Apple Green and Sky Blue.
Note that colors may be rearranged so that different colors will be next to each other for this technique.
Also, you may be more accustomed to seeing Rollagraphs with the covered purple handle. The open type is shown, though both kinds may be used.
Turn the frame 1/4 turn clockwise, and re-ink the Rollagraph. Set the wheel down just beyond the edge of the first rolled image. Roll the design along the 2nd side of the frame.
Turn the frame 1/4 turn and repeat the above twice more and you're done.
Handle gently without touching the image.
Bake your frame. There's no need to allow drying time. The heat needed to shrink the frame will dry as well as set the ink.
Using a spray sealer after baking is recommended. Please see our Sealers Page for more information.
