We have been having a strange winter season so far, even needing to run the air conditioner just a week ago! On Monday, there were new blossoms on the baby peach tree. The leaves of the Mexican sycamore we planted this autumn have not yet fallen; in fact there are fresh green ones!
But a freezing winter storm is streaming towards us — and across half of the country today. The confused trees are in for a shock.
Sad for the trees, but wow, beautifully illustrated, Vicky! What tape do you use for the edges?
ReplyDeleteI’m so sorry for forgetting to reply to you!
DeleteYears ago, I bought a set of blue painters tape on Amazon. There were 3 rolls in the set, from 1/4” to 3/4” wide. After tearing off the length needed, I stick it to my skirt or jeans first — this helps remove more of the tackiness — then I lay it in place on the paper.
I try to remove it as soon as that paint is dry, pulling slowly with the pulled tape near the paper’s surface.
