Texture on paper banners?

Post by Demi_morgana »

Yo,

Last night I was thinking about some final bits to be added to my standard bearer and I started thinking about the banner itself:
it will be paper for sure but I'd like to give it a look of actual fabric.
My first thought to do that was painting the banner and then trying to apply cloth texture using t-shirt or sth: tress the pattern using very small amount of paint, like in a drybrush. It's still under development so have you got any experience with such thing? :)

What about a green stuff banner and then pressing some cloth into it when it's nearly cured. That should leave some kind of impression, right? Maybe just enough to see...

you could always look into different grades of paper or even recycled paper has a more rougher look and feel to it, rather than trying to stick stuff to it. Would save you a lot of time.

there is a paper that has cotton fibers and looks almost like textile, they are used to make wedding invitations and thing like that.
they are double the thickness of regular paper.

do a search on washi paper ( looks like my origami skill are of use :lol: )

Yeah, sure :lol:
Anyway last evening while waiting for garden gnome to dry I started painting paper banner a bit and I thought painting some scrathes and semi-texture should be doable especially if banner is planned to be battleworn.

Cheers all for help! :)

I've heard of using a used teabag to texture a paper banner. Just by rubbing it over paper banner it ages and textures it.

Too bad I haven't read it week ago when I was preparing banner :(
Will definitely give it a try the next time.
