Animal Glue, the old and traditional adhesive, containing gelatin and create connecting tissues by boiling in dual pot. Which allows the glue to not be directly heated by fire, in addition of some water, over time it becomes completely fluid as it drips down by tip of the brush.

As I have gently soaked the surface of newspaper with a sponge, carefully, with a heavy metal scraper peel off the newspaper as the animal glue reserves.

Layouts of pieces to put them back into the negative space sheets.

Class, enjoying and intrigued by surroundings of the marvelous ancient inspirations.
