I'm very excited about the possibilities for this. I'd been pondering a way to put my drawings on potentially jewelry-making pieces. I bought wood tiles from Michael's, as well as Mod Podge (Matte Mat; "waterbase sealer, glue and finish...") and Delta Ceramcoat Varnish ("a durable protective finish"), dug out some rice paper from my paper collection, and quickly inked out some doodles using speedball superblack ink and an ink-dipping fine nib pen, which I use for comics. I did the French Cat first; cut him out and glued him on the wood piece, then covered the whole thing in varnish. The rice paper disappears (dissolves?) as it is so thin (I learned this technique when I had to paint a surfboard design; they asked for the design on rice paper, to be covered in resin or whatever), leaving the ink on the surface.

Next I tried a fabric version. This is nothing new; it even has a fancy French name: Decoupage. Glue fabric on, slather with varnish, but I also added a little drawing. I know, flowers and hummingbirds, so cliche, but I was in a hurry to try out the technique. It works! Now I have to figure out how to make it into a pendant.
