|
|
I'm looking to get some Mod Podge and other craft supplies. I've tried gmarket and 11street but they either don't have what I'm looking for or you can't find it under the English name. My Korean is so-so, certainly not good enough to know the words for decoupage etc.
Anybody have any ideas? |

Did it work okay mostly though? I mainly want to decoupage some notebooks with paper and fabric... |

Have you tried making wheat paste? It's what graffiti artists use to affix posters and papers to walls and poles. It's made cheaply and easily, recipe's google-able.
If you want more gloss, you can always use acrylic painter's medium. You can get varying degrees of shine. It's made of polymer - basically paint without the pigment. Comes in different thicknesses and textures. They have a good supply of acrylic medium in the Hongik Univ. art store as well as the Namdaemun Alpha Art. |

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll try the wheat paste. If not I'll be in Seoul for a couple of days next week and can check out the painter's medium. |
