<C_Lion> OK, THANKS TO ALL OF YOU FOR COMING TO MY MAIDEN VOYAGE HERE
<Janet> I saw the sample. I wouldn't have missed this.
<Janet> that's yummy
<MomCat> Thank you for being here!
<C_Lion> THE CLASS IS ABOUT BUTTERFLIES BLACK PAPER AND PEARLESCENT INKS
<cindyc> ahhhhhhh
<C_Lion> THERE ARE 4 SAMPES AT
<C_Lion> http://www.geocities.com/~purringfox/stamps.html
<raveAFK> yummm
<Vaughnde> ah....pearlescent inks
<C_Lion> 2 OF THE STAMPS ARE FROM APPALOOSA ART STAMPS AND THE LAST ONE
IS MAGENTA
<Janet> what are pearlescent inks? I think I need some
<cindyc> i have the magenta.... but i love that aas on the right
<C_Lion> PEARLESCENT INKS ARE MADE BY DALER AND ROWNEY
<C_Lion> MANY PLACES CARRY THEM
<C_Lion> ON THE MALL i THINK PERHAPS RUBBER CHICKEN
<Vaughnde> which company on dm.net sells them?
<C_Lion> JANET?
<Janet> Rubber Chicken has everything.
<Vaughnde> hi evey
<deb> Rubberart sells them
<Janet> Rubberart sells them
<C_Lion> GREAT!
<Vaughnde> I was thinking don and linda would have them too
<Vaughnde> hi anno
<Janet> Samples at http://www.geocities.com/~purringfox/stamps.html
<anno> hey
<deb> wow - there's SHANNON!!!
<Janet> shannon, go loook, samples at http://www.geocities.com/~purringfox/stamps.html
<C_Lion> MANY INKS DO NOT WORK ON BLACK PAPER BUT PEARESCENTS AND A FEW
OTHERS DO
<Shannon> ok
<Janet> think Lumiere paints would work?
<Janet> it's not ink, but it's shiney and covers black paper good
<cak> Not enough coverage for black paper CL?
<C_Lion> YES BUT IT WOULD GIVE A VERY DIFFERENT EFFECT
<C_Lion> YES CAK, THSY SOAK IN NAD GO NOWHERE
<C_Lion> THEY SOAK IN
<Janet> I have Lumieres. But I love buying new stuff.
<anno> wow.. these are very very pretty butterflies..
<cak> These were originally developed for calligraphy, right?
[the logger's connection was dropped here for a bit]
<C_Lion> OK SO TO START YOU STAMP YOUR BUTTERFLY IN SILVER OR COPPER
AND EMBOSS IT
<anno> do we emboss in clear, or use metallic ep too?
<C_Lion> ON BLACK MATTE PAPER
<C_Lion> i USE METALLIC EP
<anno> 'k.
<anno> metallic ink and metallic ep.
<C_Lion> FOR THE PURPLE BUTTERFLY I USE SILVER
<C_Lion> THE INK CAN BE CLEAR OR METALLIC
<Janet> what kind of paper?
<C_Lion> BLACK MATTE FINISH
<Janet> okay
<C_Lion> I LIKE ASTROBRIGHT BLACK ECLIPSE
<deb> http://www.geocities.com/~purringfox/stamps.html
<C_Lion> BLACKEST PAPER I KNOW OF
<Vaughnde> if you don't have the lumiere's or the pearlescent paints...can
you use something else?
<C_Lion> DO WE HAVE A PAPER VENDOR ON DM?
<C_Lion> YOU CAN BUT THE EFFECT IS NOT THE SAME
<Vaughnde> marco's I think
<Janet> Kathy Ann's Paper
<Vaughnde> cool
<MomCat> Kathy Ann's Paper
<Janet> http://crafts.dm.net/mall/kathyann.html
<C_Lion> HOPEFULLY SHE HAS THESE
<MomCat> and Wacky has card stock
<Janet> oh yes, Wacky has lots.
<C_Lion> FOR THE COPPER BUTTERFLY EMBOSS IN COPPER
<Vaughnde> looks like I gotta add something else to my wish list <C_Lion> PEARLESCENTS ONLY COME IN A DOZEN COLORS SO IT IS NOT TOO BAD
<Vyx> I =need= those butterfly stamps. Even if I never use em. :)
<Janet> LOL
<Vaughnde> lol vyx
<C_Lion> I SAW ROSEM AND SUSAN AND THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE A SPECIAL
FOR US, E-MAIL THEM AFTER CLASS IF WE DO NOT HEAR FROM THEM
<Vaughnde> the butterfly stamp I have has lots of open areas ...perfect
for coloring in with
<C_Lion> OK SO YOU HAVE STAMPED AND EMBOSSED
<C_Lion> NOW WE USE T HE INKS
<deb> http://www.geocities.com/~purringfox/stamps.html
<Janet> and this is on paper weight paper or cardstock weight paper?
<C_Lion> FOR THE PURPLE ONES I USED GALACTIC BLUE AND MOON VIOLET
<Janet> (sorry, I seem to be obsessing over the paper)
<C_Lion> CARDSTOCK
<Janet> okay, thanks
<raveAFK> Oh what lovely names...
<C_Lion> 'SOK MAKES ME DO IT RIGHT, JANET
<deb> http://www.geocities.com/~purringfox/stamps.html
<Janet> I'm just easily confused
<Janet> (seriously)
<Janet> (hi, Ida and Chris)
<evey71> late in we are using pearlescent paints?
<TheQueen> ya don't say, janet? <C_Lion> THE COPPER COLORS ARE BIRDWING COPPER AND SILVER MOSS
<deb> yes evey71
<C_Lion> YES EVE
<Ida> Hi all!
<Janet> we are. I have another question, would the LUna Lights work?
<C_Lion> NO, I DO NOT THINK SO JANET, THEY TEXTURE IS WAY DIFFERENT
<C_Lion> LIKE LUMIERES
<Janet> okay. I don't have those either. (I need them all)
<deb> the Pearlescents are very thin
<raveAFK> Hmmm... in a pinch some of the bright pearl gel pens?
<C_Lion> MORE OF A RUBBERY TEXTURE TO THE DRY PAINT
<C_Lion> YOU COULD USE GEL PENS YES
<raveAFK> emergency glimmer...
<Janet> I'm gonna have to talk to Rubberart for sure then, get me some
of these inks.
<C_Lion> BUT YOU WILL NOT GET THE MOTTLED LOOK OF THE COPPER BUTTERFLY
<deb> how did you mottle it?
<C_Lion> AS AN ASIDE, I MET HELENE FROM MAGENTA SUNDAY
<C_Lion> SHE LOVES THE BUTTERFLIES
<cak> What's not to love!?
<deb> they are gorgeous
<C_Lion> SHE GOT MAD AT ME THO -
<Janet> exactly. these are gorgeous
<deb> http://www.geocities.com/~purringfox/stamps.html
<deb> why?
<C_Lion> I WOULD NOT SELL HER A PIECE OF JEWELRY I MADE
<C_Lion> IT WAS CRACKED
<Janet> (because the AAS one looks better than the Magenta one <deb> lol
<cak> LOL (to you both)
<C_Lion> LOL
<C_Lion> HOORAY SUSAN
<cindyc> i agree... g
<Janet> actually I like 'em both
<C_Lion> SO I MADE HER A NEW ONE
<C_Lion> ME TOO
<Janet> but I've got the AAS butterfly
<deb> me too
<C_Lion> SO THE INKS USED - 2 COATS FOR A REAL GOOD COVER - LIKE ON THE
PURPLE ONE
<Vaughnde> I think the aas butterfly is going on my wishlist
<Janet> (sitting here next to me so it could be at class, too, I'm hoping
the stamp retains information better than I do)
<Vyx> heh
<Vaughnde> lol janet
<deb> lol janet
<Ida> I have got to get that AAS butterfly...so delicate!
<C_Lion> BUT USE 2 COATS OF BIRDWING COPPER AND 1 OF MOSS GREEN ONT HE
COPPER BUTTERFLY
Janet holds green rubber up to the monitor screen
<C_Lion> SUSAN DO WE HAVE A SPECIAL?
<cindyc> is the aas bf as big as the magenta?
deb snatches janet's green rubber
<Susan> yes we do
<Janet> it's big. just the right size to sit on a card
<cindyc> kewl... ty
<Susan> do you want it now or later
Janet slaps deb with her green rubber
<deb> it's about 3" wide
<C_Lion> THE AAS BUTTERFLIES ARE LAREGER THAN THE MAGENTA BUT ON THE
SHEETS THEY COME IN 3 SIXES
<Vyx> now
<C_Lion> SIZES
<C_Lion> OK IS EVERYONE CAUGHT UP TO THE INKING PART?
<deb> yes'm
<cindyc> i will have to make sure i don't have them yet... lol... i have
soooo many aas
<cindyc> yup
<cak> CL--you use one coat to develop some mottling?
<C_Lion> NEXT YOU CUT OUT THE BUTTERFLY
<C_Lion> YES CAK - THE MOTTLING IS VERY BEAUTIFUL
<cak> (Yay! I guessed right)
<Janet> and stop adding coats when you like how it looks?
[connection dropped again]
<Janet> okay but cut down to the body?
<C_Lion> YES TO THE BODY
<C_Lion> AND LEAVE T HE ANTENNAE ON - THEY LOOK BETTER
<cak2> (drat my ISP) CL, do you have any trouble with the embossing flaking
off when you're cutting out?
<Janet> any secrets on how to cut around the antennae?
<C_Lion> SHARP SCISSORS
<C_Lion> I REALLY PREFER THE LITTLE SOFT TOUCH FISCARS FOR CUTTING PAPER
<C_Lion> FISKARS
<cak2> Do you ever use a x-acto knife?
<evey71> sharp is the answer for sure
<Vaughnde> are these like those embroidery scissors we see at joann fabrics?
<C_Lion> ANDOTHER THING I FIOND FOR CUTTING OUT - DO NOT LEAVE THEM FOR
DAYS AND DAYS BETWEEN EMBOSSING AND CUTTING
<Janet> i actually do better with a knife than with scissors usually
<C_Lion> THEY HAVE GREY HANDLES
<Vaughnde> never seen those
<deb> why?
<Janet> so the ep doesn't crack and flake as bad?
<C_Lion> IT SEEMS TO GET MORE BRITTLE WITH TIME, PERHAPS THE OILS IN
THE EP SOAKS IN THE PAPER
<deb> mmm ok
<C_Lion> AT THE END OF CLASS I WILL GIVE YOU ALL MY SNAIL ADDY
<evey71> this explains a prob I had last week thanks
<C_Lion> SEND ME A SASE AND TELL ME WHICH IS YOUR FAVORITE BUTTERFLY
AND I WILL SEND YOU A PRINT OUT OF INSTRUCTIONS ON IT
<Janet> all of the above <Vaughnde> cool!
<Vaughnde> lol
<Vyx> thats a nice idea!
<C_Lion> OK SO LET'S NO DO THE LAYERING
<Janet> oh good. i'm layer-impaired
<C_Lion> THE BOTTOM LAYER OF EVERY ONE IS ASTROBRIGHT ECLIPSE BLACK
<Janet> I can paint pretty good but layers baffle me
<C_Lion> THE MOUNTING IS VERY IMPORTANT
<C_Lion> THE NEXT LATER FOR THE PURPLE IS JUST TURQUOISE CONSTRUCTION
PAPER
<Vaughnde> basically 4 layers to a card right?
<C_Lion> FOR THE COPPER IT IS A MATTE FINISH PAPER
<C_Lion> YES 4 LAYERS
<Janet> and?? I wanna know what the purple is, it's yummy
<C_Lion> THE PURPLE LAYER IS THAT PURPLE VELVET PAPER
<Vaughnde> some of mine are 3 layers...I've done a few 4 layers
<Vaughnde> ooohhhh
<Vaughnde> gotta get me some more of that velvet paper
<deb> wow
<Janet> ahhhhhh and that's so beautiful
<C_Lion> AND THE GREEN IS BECKETT GREEN TEA
<Vyx> it is, awesomely lovely
<Janet> i love that stuff too
<C_Lion> I HAQVE A REAM OF BOTH WEIGHTS
<Janet> but the copper layer of the copper fly?
<Vaughnde> whom do you normally buy your cardstock from cl?
<C_Lion> AS I DO LOTS OF ASIAN
<Janet> (I usually buy paper locally because i'm cheap)
<C_Lion> I AQM AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY BUYER OF PAPER
<Janet> (I shouldn't say that outloud, huh?)
<C_Lion> ME TOO JANET
<Janet> LOL
<Vaughnde> lol...meaning anywhere it is cheap!
<Janet> well and local means not paying shipping on heavy paper. but
some of this paper it's worth it to order
<Vaughnde> lol....no big deal Janet
cindyc lives happily in the land of Hollo's....
<C_Lion> THE COPPER IS A SPECIALTY PAPER BUT I THINK MARCO'S HAD IT
<C_Lion> THE COPPER IS
Janet is a Jhone's exotic paper addict
<Vaughnde> lol
<C_Lion> WHEN I DO NOT HAVE WHAT I WANT FOR MOUNTING I CARRY THE PIECE
TO THE STORE WITH ME
<Vaughnde> I like some of EI's papers
<C_Lion> AND LAYER IN THE STORE UNTIL I FIND WHAT I WANT
<Vaughnde> now thats a good idea cindy
<Janet> oh yeah, those handmade tissues? those are gorgeous. I buy those
to hoard
<C_Lion> WAHT YOU WANT TO MATCH ON THE COPPER IS THE COLOR IN THE WINGS
<MomCat> How about painting your own paper
<C_Lion> YOU CAN DO THAT TOO, MOM
<Vaughnde> I think you could do that too momcat
<Janet> oh yeah! and then it would match!
<C_Lion> THE COPPER ESPECIALLY YOU COUD SO AS IT IS NOT THE ONE THAT
SHOWS THE MOST
<Janet> (and then I could trim it and not paint the middle part that's
covered up too)
<Vaughnde> especially using the new shaving cream technique that I learned
<C_Lion> YOU COULD ALSO DO A POLISHED STONE
<MomCat> exactly, Janet
<Janet> i love polished stone
<cindyc> me too....
<C_Lion> VERY GOOD JANET
<Susan> Cindy
<cindyc> still my fave
<Janet> i like anything that gets my hands messy
<Vaughnde> lol
<Susan> Sorry to interupt
<C_Lion> ANYTIME YOU CANNOT MATCH - MAKE ONE
<Susan> but my neighbor needs my help
<C_Lion> YOU HAVE THE STUFF ALREADY

<Vaughnde> eve the butterfly ideas are from c lion
<cindyc> http://www.aasimagick.com/details.asp?product_id=PO030
<Vyx> What kind of keyboard doesn't have an ~?
<Vaughnde> an old one maybe?
<C_Lion> SNAIL MALE ME A SASE TELLING ME WICH BUTTERFLY YOU LIKE BEST
<Janet> the kind Evey has
<C_Lion> I WILL SEND YOU A PAGE SAGE PRINT OUT OF INSTRUCTIONS
<Janet> naw, but maybe a new one. old one always had tildes
<Vaughnde> now thats a good idea
<Vaughnde> my new one has it too Janet
<Vaughnde> who knows
<cak2> CL, how long does it take the ink to dry?
<Janet> so we write you and you will send us an instruction sheet, that's
so nice!
<C_Lion> OK ARE WE READY TO GO BACK TO PASTING PAPER?
<Janet> we are!
<C_Lion> NOT LONG AT ALL CAK
<Janet> what kind of glue do you like?
<Vaughnde> yes
<C_Lion> I TENS TO MAKE 2 THINGS AT ONCE AND THEY ARE MORE THAN DRY BETWEEN
<cak2> good-I'm impatient
<C_Lion> NOW THERE IS A QUESTION JANET
<anno> 031 is also a butterfly plate...
<Vaughnde> lol
<anno> someday I'ma get that one!
<C_Lion> GLUSE STICKS DON'T SOMETIMES
<C_Lion> YES IS MESSY
<Vaughnde> so best bet is NO glue sticks but some kind of glue?
<C_Lion> I USE GLUE STICKS IF I AM NOT WORRIED ABOUT FLEXING
<C_Lion> YES IF IT HAS TO TAKE ABUSE
<Janet> i like spray adhesives but they are messy
<Janet> (but they smell so good)
<Vaughnde> lol
<Vyx> rotf @ Janet
<C_Lion> AND THEN THERE IS XYRON
<Vaughnde> not in my house they don't
<C_Lion> AND LIQUID GLUE
<MomCat> double stick tape
<C_Lion> DEPENDS ON HTE USE FOR ME
<Vyx> I like double stick tape myself
<evey71> mmmm I found it? tucked up above the tab key-I felt sure I ahould
have one? lory thinks the spray adhesive smelling might explain alot
<Vaughnde> I need more double stick tape...I'm totally out
<Vaughnde> thats ok evey
<C_Lion> FOR LAYERING GLUE STICKS WORK UNLESS THERE IS A FINISH ON THE
PAPER
<cak2> These look like they've got some dimension though--do you just
glue the butterfly down at the body?
<C_Lion> OK - ANY MORE QUESTIONS ON THE LAYERS?
<C_Lion> NO CAK
<Vaughnde> nope....
<C_Lion> THAT IS THE NEXT PART
<C_Lion> NOW EACH OF YOU BUTTERFLYS HAS 4 WINGS
<C_Lion> 2 TOP ONES AND 2 BOTTOM ONES
<Angel> Cindy..i missed most of your class..sorry..
<Angel> can someone send me the instructions?
<C_Lion> 'SOK ANGEL MAIL ME FOR AN INSTRUCTION SHEET
<C_Lion> SASE
<Angel> ok
<Vaughnde> (ahhh better....hadda change chairs...back was killin' me)
<C_Lion> OK SO PICK UP HTE BUTTERFLY AND HOD IT BY ONE TOP WING NEAR
THE BODY
<Janet> (keep moving it to entertain the cats)
<C_Lion> WITH OTHER HAND HOLD WING BETWEEN THUMB AND FOREFINGER
<Vaughnde> (no wheels on these chairs...sorry)
<C_Lion> THUMB ON TOP
<C_Lion> GENTLY PULL TOWARD THE END OF THE WING WHILE TURNING IT A BIT
ON FINGER
<Vaughnde> ok...so you are saying both hands on each wing of the butterfly...top
ones?
<C_Lion> KIND OF LIKE WHAT YOU DO TO A CURLING RIBBON
<C_Lion> ONE WING AT A TIME
<Vaughnde> ok got it
<Vaughnde> (visual learner here)
<C_Lion> HOLD THE BASE OF ONE WING WITH LEFT HAND AND CURL WITH RIGHT
<C_Lion> DOES THIS MAKE SENSE TO EVERYONE?
<Vaughnde> yeah much more sense now
<Vyx> Sure, you are giving the wings some shape
<C_Lion> GENTLY - NO PULLING THEIR WEE WINGS OFF
<cak2> lol
<Vaughnde> lol
<Janet> I've pulled the wee wings off before. and those danged antennae
<C_Lion> NOW THE BOTTOM WINGS ARE A BIT HARDER, i USE A BIG SHARPIE PEN
AND SHAPE THEM AROUND IT
<C_Lion> TRICK - I CUT THE ANTENNAE OUT AFTER ALL THE CURLING
<MomCat> I bet Big Blue would work for that!
<C_Lion> YOU WANT TO SHAPE THE BOTTOM WINGS TOWARD THE LOWER CORNERS
OF THE MOUNTS
<cak2> (*good* trick! never would have thought of that)
<Janet> OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
<C_Lion> ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CURLS?
<Janet> (I hate those danged antennae, next time I'm not cutting them
out until last)
<Janet> I'm solid on the curling
<cak2> just work it til they look good but before you destroy the wings?
<C_Lion> OK, NOW CUT OUT THE ANTENNAE AND GIVE THEM JUST A WEE CURL UP
<C_Lion> YES CAK
<Vaughnde> lol
<Janet> and I may be better on the antennae now. usually I cut the suckers
off and replace 'em with wire. lol
<Vaughnde> sounds like a good idea
<C_Lion> TRY IT ON A FEW BITS OF APER FIRST
<C_Lion> LOL
<Vaughnde> sounds like you Janet
<C_Lion> OK NOW FOR MOUNTING THE BUTTERFLY
<Janet> patience is not my strong suit
<Vaughnde> like typing paper?
<Janet> hey, Red.
<Vaughnde> practice makes perfect and that sorta thing?
<deb> http://www.geocities.com/~purringfox/stamps.html
<Vaughnde> Hi Red
<C_Lion> I USE DOUBLE BACKED FLAT TAPE FOR THE BODY
Redstick goes and hides quietly in the corner...sorry that's she's late
Redstick waves "Hi" to Janet
Redstick waves "Hi" to Vaughnde
<C_Lion> 'SOK REDSTICK JUST HAVE A PENCIL READY
<TheQueen> RED!
Redstick waves "Hi" to C_Lion
<Janet> (Red is quiet and polite, but I'm not Redstick gets her pencil
<C_Lion> THEN i USE MOUNTING TAPE FOR UNDER THE CURL OF EACH WING
Redstick curtsies to DaQueen
<Janet> ohhhhh cool!
<C_Lion> I PREFER A THINK PICE DOUBLED BACK ON ITSELF
<C_Lion> PIECE
<C_Lion> A THIN PIECE DOUBLED BACK ON ITSELF - SHEESH
<cak2> is this the thicker-than-regular-tape stuff like popdots?
<C_Lion> AND VOILE'
<C_Lion> IT IS THE 3M TAPE WITH THE GREEN CHECKED BACKGROUND
<C_Lion> IT IS WHITE FOAM STUFF
<C_Lion> COMES IN A ROLL
<Vyx> Oh I know what you mean. Like for mounting mirrors and such.
<Vaughnde> the kind you can get in any statinery store
<cak2> Yeah! I know that stuff--
<C_Lion> YOU WANT TO USE A TAPE THAT HAS A BIT OF RAISING POWER
<Redstick> Wow! These look like cloissone'!
<C_Lion> ADN MAKE IT SMALL SO YOU DO NOT SEE IT HIDING IN THERE
<C_Lion> TY REDSTICK
<C_Lion> I ALSO REALLY WANT TO THANK ALL OF YOU FOR THE WONDERFUL RECEPTION
I HAVE HAD ON DM
<Redstick> **really** pretty <s>
<Janet> You teach us your tricks. :)
<C_Lion> LOL
<deb> this is awesome
<deb> thanks C_Lion
<C_Lion> I HAD TO PROMISE NOT TO SHOW YOU ONE TRICK YET
<MomCat> Thank you for being here, C_Lion
<Janet> the biggest one for me was to cut the danged antennae out last
<C_Lion> LOL
<Janet> you got one more?
<cak2> Thank *you* so much--very very lovely (and easy thanks to your
generosity in teaching)
<Vyx> This was a really great class!
Janet shakes c lion upside down for the hidden trick
<Vaughnde> the biggest tip was for me to take the peice of cardstock
to the store for layering purposes
<Vaughnde> I love this class...you did a wonderful job teaching Cindy
<C_Lion> I PROMISE ONCE THE ARTICLE IS WRITTEN I WILL TEACH THE 'TRICK'
HERE FIRST
<Janet> Okay. DEAL.
<Vaughnde> coolio!
<C_Lion> ONE MORE QUESTION I HAVE FOR ALL OF YOU
<MomCat> yes?
<cindyc> cindy's make great teachers...
<deb> now who wants to teach us something on Sat.a nite?
<Vaughnde> shoot
<Vaughnde> lol cindyc
<Janet> they sure do!
<lory> thanks cindy
<C_Lion> BRENDA WANTS ME TO TEACH A CLASS ON MOUNTING OR LAYERING
<Janet> Oh yes, I do too!
<deb> I have to find a fill in class for Sat .nite
<Vaughnde> layering sounds good to me
<cak2> I think you should teach both!
<Janet> I'm layering-impaired for sure.
<C_Lion> I WONDER WHAT YOU ALL WOULD THINK ABOUT SENDING ME A SAMPLE
PIECE OF ART FOR ME TO LAYER
<Vaughnde> I've been learning as I go...
<Janet> I will!
<C_Lion> SO WE COULD DO KIND OF A CLINIC?
<Vaughnde> Sure thing! I can do that
<Janet> If I send you a painting, you'll layer it?
<C_Lion> LOL
<Vaughnde> I been coloring in stamped pieces this week with radiant pearls
<evey71> for Sat
MomCat remembers C_Lion saying she would teach how to choose colors for layering
during a convention
<C_Lion> SMALL JANET, SMALL
<Janet> seriously.
<Janet> well, this IS small. small stamped watercolor
<Vaughnde> lol Janet
<C_Lion> YES I HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT IT ALOT MOM, HOW IT WOULD WORK
BEST
<cak2> sounds like a good thing--compare what I can do and see what else
can be done (I get stuck in a rut)

<C_Lion> JANET, I ALSO NEED TO TALK TO YOU AFTER

only fair. I can always paint more.

<MomCat> yes!
<cindyc> i do
<cak2> (I always need to get permission)
<Janet> http://dm.net/~janet/opheliacard.jpg
<Janet> she's very pretty. but she needs more presentation than just
the oval template and slapping on a piece of cardstock
<Vaughnde> wow
<Vaughnde> she is really pretty
<Vaughnde> keep the oval...but add a few more layers to it
<C_Lion> http://www.geocities.com/~purringfox/remodel_craft_room.html
<C_Lion> waiting for it to load
<Janet> bingo, Jessica. that's where I get stuck. that "adding layers"
part
<C_Lion> janet, what do you see as the most important part of the image?
<Vaughnde> You can add layers in colors in tandem with the colors you
use in the painting
<Janet> oh and the next one I'm going to take a tissue to the ink on
the face, I think that is too dark
<deb> ok - gotta go - have a kid I'm goona have to clobber
<deb> nite
<evey71> who knows a good place to buy luminere paints?
<Janet> I think the seaweed. at least in my head that's the most important
part. visually I'm not so sure
<C_Lion> nite deb
<Vaughnde> nite deb
<Janet> I do, Evey!
<Janet> Go to www.jhone.com
<Kriztina> justjhone has em

<Janet> she's got 'em at a good price.
<Vaughnde> lol
<C_Lion> hi kriz
<Vaughnde> now thats what I call quick answers
<Janet> www.jhone.com is her main site and is faster to type than http://crafts.dm.net/mall/justjhone.html
<C_Lion> ok janet, send it and I will do my best
<Janet> yeah, I think. or really the concept of the seaweed
<C_Lion> DO NOT FORGET THE CLASS SPECIAL
<Janet> it's important to me in showing ophelia
<C_Lion> I understand
<C_Lion> how big is it?
<Janet> (that's a stampsmith stamp, by the way, she's in the mall, too)
<evey71> TY janet
<Janet> that's how big, that's a 5 1/2 x 4 1/4" card she's on
<Kriztina> hi clion btw
<Janet> she's a good sized girl <C_Lion> not a problem for layering tho
<Vyx> Gotta go now. Great Class C_Lion! Thanks!

<Janet> take care, Vyx. you doing okay?
<MomCat> nite
<C_Lion> thanks all fgor making this so much fun
<Vyx> g'night y'all
<Janet> I'd put her on a blue watercolor wash first, and it was just
too much activity for my tastes
<cindyc> great job C
<MomCat> Thank you for a great class
<Kriztina> hope she's ok
<evey71> Glad there isn't any sqiggly things Janet :} TY again
<cak2> hmmm-how about a blue vellum?
<C_Lion> redstick did you get the addy for instructions?
<Janet> blue vellum might be good. I think I have some in my stash even
<Redstick> Yes, C_Lion....thanks!
<Angel> Cindy. those samples are beautiful! I like the blue and purple
ones..they are really pretty/..
<cak2> (not to second guess Ms CL)
<Janet> I am gonna wipe the ink off the face some, though, I don't like
all the ink on her cheeks
<cak2> I need the practice in thinking/planning this stuff
<Vaughnde> great website about your stamp/craft room clion
<C_Lion> maybe a subtle alcohol background with a green one on top, have
ot look
<Janet> I even thought about getting some moss and gluing moss down around
her
<Angel> that butterfly stamp is from Magenta?
<Janet> ooo that would be cool, too
<cak2> can you take off ink when it's dry or are you going to do another
one?
<Janet> I'm going to do another one. I love rubber stamps. :)
<evey71> I must away, thanks for the ideas and sites and thanks Teach
for the inspiration. Have one G/daighter hanging out for something to eat
<C_Lion> the bottom one is angel the other 2 are Appaloosa
