absolutely! almost all badges I own or have looked at are colored traditional of some sort.

And the laminate works well with colour pencil? Even a thick layer? ;>

With a little fixative, no problem what so ever. Badges and bookmarks it is standard practice to laminate no matter the medium. :)

absolutely! Just keep in mind that it gets a glossy coating in that case and the colors will becomea bit brighter.
I've always laminated my badges and have laminated a few a4 sized drawings, including charcoal drawings.

Thanks c:
Some people say a4 could be a problem because of it's size and with charcoal - the laminate might not stick well to it. But if you haven't encountered such problems, maybe you have good laminator ^^.

It helps to trim the edges doen just a little and make sure everything is secure, the laminator is nice and hot and check that the edges of the drawing do not exceed the edges of the pocket. Just take it slow and it should work.

Czemu nie, sama laminowałam zakładki i badge. Nie ma z tym żadnego problemu, a laminowane prace mają jeszcze mocniejsze kolory,tak na korzyść, oczywiście. c: Choć mnie osobiście trochę ta folia denerwuje, jakbym pracę za szybą oglądała.

Chodziło mi o to czy wysoka temperatura nie wpływa jakoś na to czym zostalo narysowane czy namalowane. Profilaktycznie lepiej spytac ;>
Jak laminowane to tylko takie użytkowe rzeczy, jak zakładki, całe prace - po co...ładniej w antyramę.
Dzięki : D

except if you used lots of dry pigments, like charcoal or pastels, or a lot of pencilwork, because the laminate coat might not stick well. but mostly-marker works shouldn't be a problem in the long run.

And even then, spray some fixative beforehand ^^

never a wrong move. ^^

thanks! :3
I must say I feel really glad knowing this. Can't wait to see my colour pencil drawings laminated as they're supposed to get brighter then <3

yes, the glue of the laminating foil changes the surface, and the pigmentation looks like covered in glossy furnace. so don't be surprised if the effect changes the whole thing. :)

Sounds a bit like what turpentine does to colour pencil, we'll see : D

Yep! It's no problem laminating traditional works (markers and watercolors and inkwork). :) (Only, the larger you go, the more risk of defects--bubbles and wrinkles--occurring in the laminate.)

Thank you c:. I suppose only thing that can happen is the pigment blending together which is mostly a good thing.
I have been thinking only about small things as badges and bookmarks. I don't see much sense doing it with bigger works, looks more neat behind a glass.

Yep, with badges and bookmarks, it should be just fine. :)

Put it in a laminator and tada! \o/
It works with mostly everything :P

Of course but I was concerned how traditional art will look afterwards ;> I posted this journal just to be sure.

It gets waterproofish!
