<Legs> what's up with that?

<anno> what other kinds of leaf sheets are there besides dry?

<Sue> those samples are gorgeous & look way too hard to learn in one night!!!

<Janet> I like to use the Lumiere paints too

<sparkle> oh sue, they're WAY easy

<Legs> well, you could use gold or silver paint pens too, I guess

<anno> so..

<kat> you are way talented

<anno> the alternative to dry sheets, are wet paints?

<Legs> who?

<Janet> Lea is incredible.

<Legs> shut up

<Legs> just hope everyone got everything for the auction

<Rosem> Susan got her's too

<Legs> really?

<Rosem> and it's hanging in her living room too!

<Lory> uh oh, there goes her head again

<Legs> I feel like my head is getting bigger

Rosem pulls out the air pump

<RubberRabb> I liked the blue one on the new page--why not, Lea--the stuff you put up for auction was beautiful

Rosem then goes to find a pin

<beanjean21> oh dear, girls SHE's gotta teach!

<Sher> I agree RubberRabbit

RubberRabbit hands legs a hatpin

<Stampire> are you sure that's not just her hair getting bigger?

<anno> well... at least hot air rises..

<Legs> I wish I had had those boxes back....they might have brought a pretty penney

Rosem wonders if she should tell lea that her husband thought the dragonfly was pooping

<anno> so she won't have any trouble holdin' that big head up..

<RubberRabb> well, she DOES live in texas

<Legs> dragonfly poop......hahhahaha!

<RubberRabb> so that big hair thing could be a problem

<beanjean21> rofl

<Legs> Geeze..people keep leaving...think we should start?

<beanjean21> YES

<Stampire> yeah

<Kaye> yes

<Legs> ok

<Lib> yes!!!

<Legs> caps?

<beanjean21> I'm going to fall asleep

<RubberRabb> I think they keep running out to look at the pictures, lea

<Stampire> yes

<beanjean21> YES

<RubberRabb> please do start

<Froggie> I'm ready

<Legs> WELL, I TAUGHT THIS CLASS HERE AGES AGO, SO ITS ALL OLD NEWS BUT i DO HAVE ONE NEW COOL THING

<sandi> not old news to those of us who weren't in the class first time around.

<Legs> YOU ALL KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEMS WITH TRYING TO STAMP ONTO ACETATE?

<RubberRabb> well, start at the beginning, lea, I see a lot of new names

<Froggie> oh yeah

<Stampire> yeah

<RubberRabb> oh yeah--slippery stuff that acetate

<Sue> please-start at the beginning

<Stampire> Brilliance pads?

<Kaye> yes new to acetate for sure

<LiaO> i bought some acetate, but i'm intimidated

<Legs> OK, JUST LAST WEEK i TRIED THE NEW BLACK BRILLIANCE PADS AND WOW!

RubberRabbit slaps stampire with a wet trout

<Legs> IT ACTUALLY WORKS GREAT

<Copper> good I just ordered one

<Legs> NOT ON COMPLETELY SOLID IMAGES, BUT T WORKS REALLY WELL

<Stampire> why a wet trout? I was right

<RubberRabb> for beating the teacher to the punch

<Sher> what works the best of solid images?

<Legs> AND IF YOU USE A STAMP POSSITIONER WHEN YOU STAMP ON ACETATE, YOU MIGHT HAVE LESS CHANCE OF SLIPPING

<RubberRabb> and because I like you

<Stampire> oh-sorry

<Kaye> what do you mean

<cak> So the Brilliance ink is a little less slippery?

<brenda> oh good idea lea

<anno> is slippery stuff, that acetate.

<Janet> and several of our convention booths have brilliance pads at good prices!

<Legs> WAY BETTER COVERAGE

<brenda> yes it is

<RubberRabb> actually, Legs, you can 'blend' brilliance ink directly on a solid stamp, just like other pigment inks

<Legs> THE SLIPPERY YOU MIGHT TAKE CARE OF WITH THE POSITIONER

<cak> ah! thnaks

<Legs> WELL, WHEN I STAMP A SOLID IMAGE ONTO ACETATE, I OFTEN GET THOSE'FROG EYES"

<brenda> lea does brilliance dry on acetate??/

<Janet> how do you get rid of those, other than with a sharpie marker?

<Legs> YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU PULL THE STAMP OFF, IT MAKES THOSE RING THINGS?

<RubberRabb> yeah, you're right--acetate sometimes has that resistance..

<Stampire> and makes that sucking noise...

<Sher> lol

<RubberRabb> lol

<Legs> IT DOES DRY OVERNIGHT, BUT IT CAN STILL BE SMEARED THE NEXT DAY, SO i TURN THE IMAGE OVER AND PUT THE INKED SIDE UNDERNEATH SO TO SPEAK

<RubberRabb> brilliance dries on everything if you heat set it, or let it dry overnight

<Janet> heat set it

<Legs> AND YOU CAN USE A HAIR DRYER TO DRY IT FASTER

<brenda> ok

<Legs> RIGHT

<brenda> ty

<Legs> BUT MAYBE NOT A HEAT GUN..IT CAN WARP THE ACETATE

<RubberRabb> hair dryer is the best way to dry it faster on shrink plastic without shrinking the plastic

<Legs> UNLESS YOU HOLD IT TOO FAR AWAY TO DO MUCH

<Legs> RIGHT

<Janet> I've been hitting it with the heat gun (carefully not too close to the acetate) and then using a spray fixative after that. working great so far

<Legs> WHAT KIND OF FIXATIVE?

<Stampire> I use the cold setting on my heat gun

<Kaye> how long does the hair dryer take?

<Legs> AND IT WON'T RUB OFF?

<Janet> that krylon workable stuff

<RubberRabb> the kind that rots your liver

<Legs> DOES IT REALLY SEAL IT ON THERE GOOD?

<Janet> I love sniffing that stuff.

<Legs> YOU CAN;T RUB IT OFF LATER?

<Sher> I was told you can run those heat resistant ones through a copier, and they work great...

<Legs> YES

<Janet> well, I've been painting with Lumieres on it, stamped side up painting on it, not having any trouble

<Legs> THAT'S MY FAVE WAY BUT SOME COMPANIES SAY TYOU CAN'T

<Cher> janet you were sniffing stuff last night too! lol

<brenda> i havent been able to find heat resistant ones though

<Janet> I love sniffing toxic stuff

<RubberRabb> actually, I stamped Brilliance and let it dry for a couple days and it dried hard without smearing at all

<Sher> oh yeah...oops, sorry

<Legs> AT THE COPY STORE, THEY HAVE HEAT RESISTANT TRANSPARENCIES

<brenda> oh neat rubber

<brenda> ok lea

<Janet> I use copier transparencies

<Rosem> it dries great

<brenda> will check there

<Kaye> How long does the hair dryer take?

<Legs> MAYBE THREE MINUTES

<Legs> ABOUT

<Kaye> Cool Thanks

<Janet> (enchy, class page at http://cyberstampers.com/class/clearlea/ )

<Legs> BUT ITS WAY DRY WHERE I LIVE

<RubberRabb> yep--definitely a faster way to do this--hair dryer

<Rosem> can I address the photocopy thing?

<Legs> YES

<LiaO> is INKjet transparency okay to use?

<Rosem> many companies will let you photocopy for personal use

<Legs> AND i HAVE A SNEAKY WAY TO GET AROUND IT

<Rosem> just ask

<Sher> ty Rosem

<Rosem> esp if you are just gonna make one or two copies

<Rosem> a quick email will get you a yea or a nay

<enchy> well cuz that dee gruenig woman TELLS you on carol duvall to make a copy

<enchy> and then it says all over those stamps dont'

<Janet> Rosem, can I photocopy Appaloosa stamps for my own use?

<enchy> makes my head hurt

<Rosem> yes!!!

<Kaye> Tell us the sneaky way

<Legs> SOME DON'T THOUGH AND FOR THOSE COMPANIES WHAT i DO IS STAMP OUT ONTO WHITE PAPER AND MAKE A TRANSPARENCY, THEN FLIP THAT OVER AND PUT A SHEET OF WHITE PAPER ON TOP AND MAKE ANOTHER COPY

<Janet> Thank you!

<Rosem> just don't make like 15 for your friends

<brenda> lol kaye

<Legs> THEN IT IS THE RIGHT WAY AND LOOKS AS IF YOU HAD ACTUALLY STAMPED IT

<Legs> IT WON'T BE REVERSED

<Lory> i dont have 15 friends, so not a problem

<Copper> thats great leas

<Janet> LOL

<Copper> oops lea

<enchy> oh come on lory

<RubberRabb> photocopying anything for your own personal use (not submitting to magazines or putting up on websites, etc) is considered 'fair use' under copyright law.

<enchy> you have 15

<enchy> well maybe not

<Rosem> cuz of what lea says, always ask

<enchy> never mind

<Legs> AND i WOULD LOVE A COMPANY TO TAKE ME TO COURT OVER IT ANYWAY.....

<Rosem> rofl, can we watch if they do?

<Sher> lol

<RubberRabb> they wouldn't win--

<enchy> you just want to flirt with a juge

<enchy> judge

<RubberRabb> what you are doing is fair use

<Legs> I THINK ALL THAT STUFF IS STUPID

<Lory> or a cute defense attorney

<Sher> sounds fair to me

<Legs> UNLESS YOU ARE RIPPING OFF IMAGES TO SELL

<RubberRabb> that's exactly right--then you'd go to jail

<Kaye> Thank you I feel the same way

<Sher> we are just trying to make the world a better place

<Rosem> can't we all just get along?

<Sher> lol

<Legs> OK, I USED TO RUN MY ACETATE STUFF THRU A XYRON TO APPLY STICKY STUFF, BUT i AM IN LOVE NOW WITH A 4'WIDE TAPE FROM AMY'S MAGIC INSTEAD

<TheQueen> you found us nick!

<Kaye> Why?

<RubberRabb> that is nice tape

<Janet> Hi, Nick. Class page at http://cyberstampers.com/class/clearlea/

<Sher> I love that tape!

<Stampire> I just got some of that tape on a roll that is 81/2" wide

<Legs> COS IT HAS COMPLETE AND ABSOLUTE COVERAGE ABD SOMETIMES THE XYRON LEFT UN-STICKY PLACES

<Legs> AND WOULD PULL OFF TOO EASILY

<TheQueen> (my word there are 42 people here!!!!!)

<Kaye> Great ty for the tip

<Legs> THE AMY'S STUFF IS ON THERE FOR LIFE

RubberRabbit knows lea pulls in a big crowd

<Sher> where from, Stampire?

<Kaye> where do you get it

<Legs> WHERE STAMPIRE?

<Janet> Jil's right over there!

Janet points

<brenda> where?????

<Stampire> the Owl & the Pussycat in Ft. Myers FL- great stuff!

<Janet> sitting next to Sparkle

<scout> URL??????

<Stampire> LOL Janet

<Janet> (isn't it cool how we sit in alphabetically order?)

<Legs> WHO MAKES THE WIDE TAPE???

<Cher> sounds like a night club stampire...lol

<Janet> http://cyberstampers.com/class/clearlea/

<Sher> lol

<Legs> OH

<Janet> Amy's Magic Leaf makes it.

<enchy> you know legs - you do some fiiinnnneee stuff

<Sher> Janet, that is too cute

<scout> live in San Diego, can't run over to Florida

<Legs> TY, ENCH

<Stampire> uh-no website-but I can give you a phone #

<enchy> these are right purty

<enchy> for a gurl with a bad neck

<Janet> And I'm not sure if any convention vendors sell it.

<Janet> I know a couple of places in the vendor mall have it.

<Janet> it's great stuff

<Judy> are you putting the sticky on the stamped side

<Legs> OK, ARE WE ALL SET ON GETTING THE IMAGES ONTO THE ACETATE, AND PUTTING SOME KIND OF AADHESIVE ONTO THE STAMPED SIDE OF THE ACETATE?

<Stampire> I hadn't seen it that wide before-on a long roll

<Janet> (I do)

<RubberRabb> yes I have done this

<RubberRabb> already tonight (in my mind)

<Sher> yea Lea

<Legs> SORRY MY TYPING SUCKS SO HARD

<Sher> lol

Rosem covers her eyes

<enchy> that's why we love you honey

<Legs> OK, NOW THE BEST PART IS WHAT COMES NEXT

<Sher> heavy breathing

<Janet> you're typing great, Lea, you're practically still fresh outta surgery

<Legs> YOU CAN PUT ENNYTHANG ON THE BACK!

Rosem grabs the cat

<Janet> LOL

<RubberRabb> enchy's thing??

<Janet> (I end up with cat hair on any adhesive I use around here anyway)

<Legs> THE BEST THING I HAVE FOUND RECENTLY IS THAT SOAP BUBBLE MYLAR..LIKE FOR WRAPPING GIFTS? IT LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE MOTHER-OF PEARL WHEN YOU USE IT UNDER THE ACETATE

<Kaye> i thought adhesive came with cat hair

RubberRabbit throws some golden retriever fur at Janet to add to the cat hair

<Janet> ooooooo

<Sher> oooohhhhh great idea!

<Legs> LOOK AT THE TOP SAMPLE ON THE "NEW" PAGE

<RubberRabb> oh, yeah!! mylar looks so cool under the acetate

<cak> cool! I was wondering if that was how it looked or was an artifact of the scan

<Stampire> Lea-do you crumple your's up or leave it in sheets as it comes?

<Sue> where do you get mylar?

<Kaye> where do you get that

<Janet> so I just need to steal all of TB's old balloons?

<Legs> AND DEPENDING UPON WHAT YOU PUT UNDERNEATH THE BUBBLE PAPER..THE COLOR OF PAPER, MEAN...YOU CAN GET WONDERFUL COLOR CHANGES

<Janet> and cut 'em up?

<Legs> i CRUMPLE IT

<RubberRabb> get it in the gift wrap areas of stores

<scout> Geez - I'm getting foggy, been sitting here since 3, now is 7:30 and can't remember what I'm supposed to order from whom and by midnite tonite. aaaaahhhh!

<Janet> she got a couple really cool hologram mylar balloons. they're MINE now

<Stampire> ok-I see it now

<brenda> this is the shiny stuff? like plastic paper????

<Legs> I GOT THE SOAP BUBBLE---IRIDESCENT MYLAT AT HOBBY LOBBY

<RubberRabb> you don't even need to crumple it much--mylar is so staticy it pretty well crumples itself

<Legs> RIGHT, LIKE PLASTIC PAPER

<RubberRabb> save those cool mylar balloons when they deflate

<brenda> ok

<brenda> ty

<RubberRabb> DON'T expose them to heat> they melt easy

<Legs> AND EXPERIMENT WITH ALL KINDS OF STUFF LIKE THAT///PRINTED TIISSUE PAPERS

<Stampire> Lea-did you add any color before you put it on?

<Legs> NOPE

<RubberRabb> yeah, Red's painted tissue looks great under this

<Legs> NOT ON THE MYLAR

<Stampire> thanks

<RubberRabb> (Enchanted Ink that is)

<Legs> ON THE THIRD SAMPLE ON THE NEW PAGE, THE AVETATE WAS PLACED OVER A PIECE OF LUNALIGHTS PAPER

<Kaye> ink's papers are great

<RubberRabb> oh, have you used luna lights, Lea? Do you like them?

<Stampire> I was going to ask you waht you thought of Luna lights

<Legs> I LOVE THEM, BUT THEY HAVE SUCH FEW COLORS

<RubberRabb> that's the sample I loved..

<Legs> I ALSO USE THE FASKOLORS BY PARMA IN ADDITION TO THE LUNAS

<Sher> can you mix colors to make new ones?

<Legs> YES

<Legs> AND FASKOLORS COME IN LIKE 44 COLORS

<Legs> AND ARE CHEAPER

<Sher> where do you get those?

<stamprat> never heard of 'em--who carries?

<RubberRabb> do they work the same way?

<Legs> THEY ARE FOR MODEL CARS

<Legs> FOR LEXAN SURFACES

<RubberRabb> I'd never heard of them either

<Sher> you don't say!

<Legs> PARMAPSE.COM

<Legs> DO A SEARCH FOR FASKOLOR

<Sher> ty

<Legs> WELCOME

<RubberRabb> do they work the same way as the luna lights?

<Stampire> do you use them like luna lights

<RubberRabb> (thinking they must do if you can mix them together)

<cak> When you say LUna Lights paper, is it paper that they sell, or you used the LL paints to color the paper?

<Sher> what sort of paper do you use them on?

<Legs> YOU CAN ALSO JUST USE ABOUT ANYTHING LIKE DRY PIGMENTS INSTEAD OF PAPER..LIKE POWDERED PEARLS OR

<Legs> WHAT'S THAT STUFF CALLED....PEARLEX

<Legs> I LIKE THE LUNAS BEST ON COLORED GLOSSIES

<RubberRabb> yes, powdered mica pigments

<Legs> BLACK BEING MY FAVE

<scout> Can you use them together, Faskolor and luna lights? I have 3 colors of luna?

<Lib> here is the link to the faskolor http://www.PARMAPSE.COM/faskolor.asp

<Kaye> have you tryed the pearlescent liquid acrylics

<Legs> YES, YOU CAN MIX THEM

<Legs> THEY ARE THE VERY SAME PAINTS, I THINK

<RubberRabb> cool--thanks legs--trust you to come up with the better way to do things

<Legs> WELL, IF YOU ARE USING LIQUID ACRYLICS, THEN PUT THOSE ON BEFORE YOU ADD THE STICKY

<Legs> BUT THE LUNAS DO NOT WORK ON WHITE GLOSSY FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON

<Legs> THEY STICCK THE TWO GLOSSY SURFACES TOGETHER AND THEY WON'T COME APART

<Stampire> Just when I think I've put everything I can on my acetate....

<RubberRabb> maybe just not glossy enough

<Sher> so, what do you use, what kind of paper?

<scout> so could you use one glossy and one plain?

<Legs> OJH, THE LUNA LIGHTS PAPER//?

<Janet> freezer paper?

<RubberRabb> yeah--that overpriced stuff

<Stampire> someone told me it has to do with the clay content of white glossy

<scout> some say freezer works, some say no

<Legs> I WILL SAY THAT THE SPECIAL LUNA LIGHTS PAPER IS WAY SIMILAR TO FREEZER PAPER, BUT IT IS SMOOTHER SOMEHOW AND NOT WRINKLY SO REALLY IT DOES WORK BETTER

<Janet> (http://cyberstampers.com/class/clearlea/ is the sample page)

<RubberRabb> well it ought to at the price they charge for it

<Legs> FREEZER PAPER IS QUITE SIMILAR, BUT NOT QUITE AS GOD IMO

<Legs> MAYBE SO, STAMPIRE

<Legs> I HAVE TRIED 5 DIFFERENT WHITE GLOSSIES AND NONE WORKED

<Legs> HAVE i MISSED A QUESTION?

<RubberRabb> prolly because colored glossy has some plasticizers in it to hold the color

<RubberRabb> and white doesn't

<enchy> hey legs?

<Legs> YEAH?

<enchy> can i buy that paint at the model train store?

<Legs> MAYBE

<Stampire> Maybe I read it on their site? who knows where useless information come from-heheh

<enchy> or do i have to order it from that website?

<enchy> hmmm

RubberRabbit (wondering how enchy got unstuck from her acetate)

<enchy> thanks sissy

<Legs> MY MODEL STORE DIDN'T CARRY IT

<Sher> or what about where they sell model cars?

<Lory> enchy, my bil has some and he got at a model car store

<Lib> they have a big list of places that carry it

<enchy> ok

<Legs> IT'S ONLY LIKE 3.16 A BOTTLE FROM PARMA

<enchy> i'll go look some more

<enchy> mucho bettero

<Legs> BUT BEWARE

<enchy> beware?

<RubberRabb> does this stuff make you very very high?

<enchy> ohh i hope so

<Legs> THE HAVE STANDARD AND FLOURESCENT COLORS THAT ARE NOT SHIMMERY OR PEARLESCENT

<RubberRabb> janet will love it then

<scout> I knew there'd be a catch

<enchy> yeah i know

<Lory> thats like an added bonus

<Janet> oh yeah!

<Lib> I would be a ware if I knew how a ware was.

<Legs> THEY HAVE FIVE GROUPINGS OF COLORS

<RubberRabb> ah, so we want the pearly colors?

<Froggie> wow, I fell through cyberspace and hit the bottom

<Legs> THE PEARLS, THE FASCENTS AND THE FASCHANGE COLRS ARE ALL VERY LIKE THE LUNAS

<Legs> THE OTHERS AREN'T BUT IF YOU USE THEM WITH THE OTHERS, THEN THEY WILL TAKE ON THE PEARL APPEARENECE TOO

<Sher> perhaps you could add mica powders to them too?

<Legs> I LOVE THE ORANNNGE AND LIME GREEN

<RubberRabb> ah, the way around the non-pearly stuff..

<RubberRabb> of course you do--right now everyone loves orange and lime green

<Legs> AND IF I USE THEM WITH SAY THE IRIDESCENT GOLD, THEN THEY BECOME IRIDESCENT TOO

<Legs> WHEN THEY GET SMOOSHED TOGETHER

<RubberRabb> very tasty

<LiaO> Tell me the name of these paints one more time? And do they dry fast or....?

<cak> OK, I'm a little confused. Do you use the LL on the acetate (before or after sticky-ing it?) or are you using it on special white paper to serve as a background?

<Legs> FASKOLORS

<Sue> I'm confused on that too

<Legs> NO, ON THAT SAMPLE, I DID THE LUNA LIGHTS ON LUNA PAPER AS i REMEMBER AND THEN MOUNTED THE STAMPED ACETATE ON TOP AFTER THE LUNA PAPER DRIED

<Legs> BUT IT MIGHT BE NEAT TO DO THE LUNAS DIRECTLY ON THE ACETATE

<cak> OK! thanks--

<Sher> What did you use on that 4th sample on the new page? or am I getting ahead of you?

<Legs> YOU COULD TRY IT BOTH WAYS AND SEE WHAT YOU LIKED BEST

<Legs> WELL, FOR SOME REASON THAT DIDN'T SHOW UP WELL, BUTTHE FOURTH SAMPLE WAS JUST ALL DRY MICA PIGMENTS

<Legs> IT IS REALLY COPPER, RED AND GREEN

<Sher> on the sticky?

<Legs> ON THE STICKY

<Sher> looks beautiful

<RubberRabb> Sometimes pearlex doesn't scan that well

<Legs> NOW JANET DID THIS USING FLOWER PEETALS OF ALL THINGS

<Legs> AND IT WAS GORGEOUS

<RubberRabb> scans flatten the glitters and metals

<Janet> ooooooo

<RubberRabb> oh--what a great idea

<Janet> i loved that!!

<Stampire> cool idea Janet!

<Legs> WHAT KIND OF PETALS?

<Janet> dried bouganvillea petals

<Legs> RIGHT

<RubberRabb> a way to use old herbs, too--how about parsley

<Janet> but anything that will dry

<Sher> Janet stuck actual petals to the sticky?

<Legs> i COULDN'T SPELL THAT TO SAVE MY LIFE

<Janet> yep

<Janet> i've used grass clippings, too

<Sher> wow!

<RubberRabb> booganveea

<scout> my dried b. flowers all brown.....how did you retain color?

<Legs> ANOTHER THING I LIKE IS TO USE THOSE PLAID GLAZES ON THE BACK OF THE ACETATE BEFORE THE STICKY

RubberRabbit wonders what sugar would look like

<Stampire> Glaze Vernis?

<Sue> you lost me-where are the flower petals?

<brenda> oh i have glazes

<Legs> YOU CAN COMB THEM LIKE PASTE PAPER AND THEN MOUNT OVER COLORED PAPER FOR A COOOL EFFECT

<Janet> would look great, RR. ants would get it, though.

<Legs> YES, STAMPIRE..THOSE ARE THE ONES

<RubberRabb> not if I ate it first, Janet

<Janet> LOL

<Stampire> ohhh-have those

<Legs> AND YOU CAN SPRAY THE ACETATE WITH ALCOHOL PAINTS

<Sher> Lea--you are amazing!

<Cher> how do you decide if you add things to the sticky, or before the sticky??

<Legs> THEN PUT ON THE FOIL

<scout> do you always eat art, RR?

<Janet> i've painted the backs with lumiere paints too

<Legs> COS WET PAINTS AND STUFF WOULDN'T GO GOOD ON THE STICKY

<Sher> me too Janet!

<Legs> ONLY DRY STUFF

<cak> Janet, you just applied the petal to the back of the stickyed acetate, right? Did you dry them first?

<RubberRabb> oh of course, I've been told I have good taste

<Sher> love the look

<Janet> i dried them first, then stuck 'em down

<Cher> ty

<scout> brown?

<Janet> that sticky just sucked 'em right on there. I couldn't have gotten them back off to save my life

<Sue> that's on the 4th sample?

<Stampire> And Lea said at the beginning that she only had one new idea....

<Legs> YOU KNOW YOU CAN FIND ALUMINUM(SILVER) BRASS (GOLD) AND COPPER LEAF AT MICHHAELS AND SAVE A BUNDLE WITH A COUPON

<Janet> i dried 'em in the microwave, retains their colors pretty well

<Janet> candy wrappers work good, too

<RubberRabb> yes, I used candy wrappers

<Legs> AND FOIL GIFT WRAPS ARE YUMMY

<scout> how long inMW, Janet?

<Legs> AND THWE YUZEN PAPERS TOO

<Sue> I work at a florist-have to start saving those petals!

<Sher> Lea--when I grow up, I wanna be just like you!

<RubberRabb> great excuse to eat those reeses peanut butter cups

<Legs> ANYTHING REALLY

<Janet> not that I'd eat a Hershey bar rather than buy silver leaf, oh no, not me

<Legs> AHHHHHHHH

<RubberRabb> 20secs or less scout

<Legs> SHER IS SUCKING UP

<Sher> lol

<scout> ty

<Janet> yeah, scout, i'll have to do that drying flowers class again.

RubberRabbit slaps sher with a wet trout

<brenda> i save the silver of hershey kisses

<Sher> lol Not nice RR

Magenta waves goodbye and tip toes out of class

<RubberRabb> yes I am

<Sher> could you use a cod instead?

<Legs> AND DO YOU HAVE THOSE STUPID PAINT PENS LEFT OVER FROM LONG AGO CRAFTING DAYS?

<kat> hershey kisses come in different color wraps for holidays too

<Janet> I'd suck up if Lea would give me a sample card.

RubberRabbit slaps all kinds of people in the class with a wet trout

Janet is shameless

<scout> a COD?

<RubberRabb> trout are traditional cyberclass fish

<Legs> SOME OF THEM WORK, BUT SOME OF THEM DISSOLVE YOUR STAMPED IMAGE

<Sher> oh....I have a lot to learn

<Legs> JUST EXPERIMENT

<Lib> Lib jumps up- what was that? Something fishy and wet hit me!!!!

<Sher> lol

<Sue> Have to call it a night-thanks, Lea!

<Kaye> i need a live class with lea

RubberRabbit slaps her down again

<Legs> I THINK THE WHOLE SECRET OF SUCCESSFUL STAMPING IS JUST FARTING AROUND

<Sher> musta been a trout...not a cod

<Stampire> Yeah-I tried prizmacolor markers after the last class-some worked & some disolved my image

<Legs> NIGHT, SUE

<cak> lol

<RubberRabb> the more farting around the better, huh lea

<beanjean21> yes, thanks lea

<brenda> dissolved??????????

<beanjean21> great samples

<Legs> IN FACT, THAT MAY BE THE WHOLE SECRET OF LIFE!

<brenda> what does that mean

<beanjean21> bye everyone!!!!!

<Lib> oh- is that the fishy smell? RR farting?

<brenda> covers it up too much?

<Sher> lol

<Sher> I smell it too!

<Legs> WHAT DO YOU MEAN, BRENDA/

RubberRabbit slaps lib and sher with the trout again

<Legs> YES, RABBIT...THE MORE THE BETTER

<scout> YOU CAN tell it's getting late and people are hungry

<brenda> you said the pens dissolved the image??

<Legs> SOME PENS DO AND SOME DON'T

<Sher> I like this trout slapping fart stuff

<RubberRabb> yeah, brenda, some of the pens have stuff in them that cause inks to unset

<Legs> YOU JUST GOTTA TRY AND SEE I.E.FAT\RTING AROUNF\D

<Lib> ROFL

<brenda> oh ok

<brenda> ty

<jenmist> but you could flip over after stamp main image and color from back - right?

<Legs> CAN I TYPE GOOD OR WHAT???

<Kaye> what inks are alcohol inks

<Lib> Libs cats are coming around the PC sniffing...

<brenda> studio2?????

<Legs> WELL, BUT THEN YOUR STAMPED IMAGE MIGHT RUB OFF, jEN

<RubberRabb> esp when your fingers are on the wrong keys

<Sher> lol

<jenmist> ok

<Legs> TRIAS ARE ALCOHOL AND STUDIO 2

<Sher> My dog is too

<RubberRabb> studio 2 might dissolve your stamped image, brenda you'd have to try it

<brenda> ok ty

<Stampire> My cat is sleeping in my hair & snoring right now-does that count?

<brenda> ok ty

<Kaye> which are cheaper

<scout> Wish I knew just where in my mess is the acetate i paid a lot for......also my versemark pads, and a few other things....anyone know a good phyic or a good house cleaner?

<Sher> I think that counts

<Lib> Sher- DUCK! Trout flying by

<Copper> Lea do you like the studio 2 inks

<Legs> IF YOU MAKE PHOTOCOPIES YOU WON'T HAVE SO MUCH TROUBLE WITH DISSOLVING IMAGES

<Legs> I HATE THEM COPPER

<brenda> ok

<jenmist> hmmm

<Copper> really?

<RubberRabb> will clean your house scout--haul off all the 'junk' you've forgotten about

<Copper> not as bright?

<Legs> THE COLORS ARE WEAK AND FUNNY COMPARED TO THE TRIAS, IMO

<brenda> they dont work real well with acetate

<Legs> NOT AS PURE AND ALL WASHED OUT

<Copper> Glad I asked before I bought

<brenda> yes they are weak

<jenmist> I have lots of acetate

<Legs> AT LEAST THE FEW I HAVE SEEN

<Stampire> you mean for polished stone?

<Legs> RIGHT

<Legs> OR FOR ANYTHING

<RubberRabb> studios are not as densely pigmented as the trias

<scout> I keep "thinking" about it, but can't seem to get up the steam

<Legs> I AGREE

<RubberRabb> but you gets what you pay for

<jenmist> I have some kinda reinkers I think

<Copper> ahhhh so not really a bargain

<Copper> as with most art supplies

<Legs> AND THE COLORS ON THE LABELS ARE NOT THE COLORS INSIDE

<brenda> no copper

<RubberRabb> washed out colors in cheap pens; ditto on colored pencils and watercolors

<Stampire> no where near whats inside

<Copper> yep I agree

<Lib> that is good for a newbie to know!

<Legs> TRIAS ARE EXPENNNNNSIVE, BUT THE BOTTLES SRE HUGE COMPARED TO STUDIOS

<Kaye> where is the best place to get the trias

<Legs> AND THERE ARE SOME GOOD DEALS ONLINE

<Copper> Yes, Lib

<Sher> I have three of those, and they are wonderful!

<Sher> do you know where, Lea?

<Copper> always buy the best you can afford

<Legs> WELL, I CAN'T SAY.....ANYONE ELSE HAVE A LINK?

<Stampire> Lea-have your tria inks ever become clumpy?

<Legs> NO

<scout> Janet, I can't even get the stamping junk off my dining room table. I clear it about once a week, but it grows back!

<Legs> BUT THE BOTTLES ALWAYS LEAK

<RubberRabb> I don't have any tria inks yet

<Janet> LOL

<Legs> AM I DONE?

<Legs> ANYMORE QUESTIONS?

<Janet> Are you?

<RubberRabb> but I have done faux-faux polished stone with plain reinkers and alcohol

<Legs> JUST FART AROUND

<Janet> This was a great class!!

<Copper> I think you should do another class

<Sher> You gave so many great things to try!

<Copper> hehehehe

<Legs> THAT'S THE WHOLE THING REALLY

<kat> great class lea

<Kaye> i would like to know about the blitzer

<RubberRabb> this was great, Lea

<jenmist> I want to try this

<Legs> THANKS!

<Lib> Somebody poke Legs with a fork, and see if she's done! LOL

<jenmist> I have to get my class samples done first - LOL

<Legs> I WILL DO ONE ON THE 3RD

<Legs> ON THE LUNAS, I THINK

<LiaO> Thanks, Lea!

<Janet> (Lea, tell a few more things, I gotta upload my class page)

<cak> And great inspiration with those samples (and the farting around advise)

<Copper> great

<Lib> Seriously, thanks Legs, this was great!

<scout> Love your work...now have to go eat......bye

<Legs> THE BLITZER IS THE COOLEST LITTLE THING

<Stampire> No strange Lea trivia this time?

<RubberRabb> yeah--I could use some ideas on the luna lights

<Kaye> what is i

<Sher> egg-salad! (excelent)

<Kaye> it

<brenda> lea i saw some of your artwork today

<jenmist> when you tell about using the blitzer?

<Legs> IT LOOKS KINDA LIKE A TURKEY BASTER AND IT HAS A CRADLE THAT HOLDS A MARKER

<Sher> i spelled that wrong, didn't I?

<cak> You were using the alcohol markers with the blitzer?

<Lory> i got one of them, somewhere

<brenda> i have one of those

<RubberRabb> doesn't have a blitzer but needs one

<Kaye> where do you get it

<jenmist> blowpen holder?

<Kaye> an art store or online

<Sher> SU sells one

<jenmist> I have that, with a footpump even

<RubberRabb> similar but not mouth powered

<RubberRabb> Wacky Wagon carries them too

<brenda> wacky i think has them too

<Lory> i have the footpump too jen

<Legs> AND YOU SQUEEZE THE BULB THING AND IT BLOWS AIR OVER THE TIP OF THE MARKER AND PUTS OUT COLOR ON THE PAPER SO IT LOOKS LIKE IT HAS BEEN AIRBRUSHED

<jenmist> you squeeze it right
