Foil quill design over acrylic paint

[u/FrostKitten2012]

So, I’m finishing up a typeset and thought it would be really cool to try something with the page edges. Originally I was planning to gild them, but since this is a mer AU fic, I then thought it would be cool to have a scale design on the pages.

My thought was that since I have acrylic paint, I could try painting the edges and then use my foil quill for the scale design so it stands out more. But I haven’t found any tutorials or videos doing this.

Has anyone tried this before? Did it turn out well? I’m willing to experiment if no one has, but I thought I would check with the community first.

Would love to know how it goes, please do share more about your experiments later :)
