Hi Sue,

Catherine provided you with what you need to know. Just a little
addition from personal experience. I will sometimes use more fine
lines or fine lined motif to connect the bolder shapes and spaces.
When I first started doing this I would think the fine lines did not
take (immediately following paste removal). I discovered, however
that it sometimes took a day for those fine lines and motifs to show
up and within two days there were there as vivid as the bold shapes.
To hasten their appearance, I will often hold the design over steam.
That allows the fine lines to become visible but still it takes
another day for them to be there very sharply like the rest of the
design. I once went over 3/4 of a design I had done with primarily
lacy type lines because it just did not seem to my eye and mind that
the design had taken. In going over it I decided to recreate part of
it more to my liking. Two days later I had the lines of both designs
there with all the lines apparent...resulting in a design that looked
like a double exposure. That is when I finally learned. The lines
were there but the contrast between the color of the stain and my
skin color were too close for me see them until the stain had
developed more.
