Transparent Paper

Tamara wrote in to tell us what she did to make some coloring pages look transparent.  Sort of like stained glass:

I am experimenting away with oil, etc to see what I can do. The oil looks good, but I cannot get it to dry.... 

...after I left the cooking oil on for awhile it dried fine, so that is what we used.  You can make colors transparent with a VERY thin coat of cooking oil. I applied with a paintbrush, and taped to the window to dry. I would not recommend taping to a wall in case it discolors the paint, but its perfect for on windows.   

Thanks Tamara!
