show and tells and classes coming up

I went back through the questions/comments etc. and i think the best thing to do is to set up a schedule for show and tells and classes so that I make sure I cover off everything you all wanted to see and have explained. If I don't do it that way, I'll forget.

Here's my list so far:

1. gel transfer into a piece of acrylic (AGAIN, this technique doesn't always work! so you have to just keep trying and one of these days, you will get a spectacular result!)

2. "RUB-ONS".

3. Samples of layouts/projects where I used a china marker.

4. a sampling of my favourite stamps.

5. significance of fish.

6. "altered existence": I will commit to doing 3 more "classes" where I'll show you step by step how I did the pages in the book. THAT's IT though. The rest I'll just show you the finished page.

7. Walnut Ink Crystals and a couple ways to use them.

 

am i missing anything so far?

Questions/comments

Noor udeen Mukhopadhyay said: I absolutely love all the demanding labor you have devoted to keeping this blog around for all of us. I honestly hope this stays online for a long time.

A: thank you for the very nice comment! Unfortunately, life is taking me in many other directions such so that I have decided to end my blogging career. :) That will happen June 7, 2013 so there's still a bit of time for you to come have a look at what we're up to here.

Q: tara said:

I made copies on a copy machine and tried this on watercolor paper, but nothing transfered. It just had solvent on the other side. What could I be doing wrong?

A: I'll do a couple of demos using various papers, but in a nutshell, the recipient paper makes a HUGE difference in the results of a solvent transfer. Water colour paper is very pourous and therefore it's much more likely you'll get less than perfect results. MAKE sure when you do your transfer, you BURNISH IT really well and that should help. I'll do a quick show and tell...

Can I add to your list and ask a question?

I have the mailart you sent me a couple of years ago and on it it you have used, what looks like a calendar stamp, maybe embossed? I dont know! The print is so small but so neat! How did you do that?

I keep finding lots of questions now...so little time, so much to ask!

If you ever come to the uk, you will let me know wont you?

I am frantically buying lottery tickets cos if I won, I would fly to Aus in the summer lol

Hey Jewels. I really do love my blog and when i go back over the past roughly 6+ years, it's amazing how many of the memories are so accurately recorded within it. That part of it, I will truly miss, and OF COURSE, all the people I've "met" online. That will be very sad to say goodbye to...I don't blame you for trying. :)
