<Janet> http://www.dm.net/~sparkles/classes/powderedpearls/

<Kaye> great samples

<Janet> Welcome to "FAT, what's FAT, we don't need no FAT on our computer drives"!

<MaggieB> lol janet

<kat> Janet what are you talking about

<Janet> I did ugly things to the FAT on my hard drive.

<MaggieB> janet deleted half her hard drive by mistake!

<Janet> So Sparkle saved my butt and loaned me more than half the class samples.

<Scout> oh, dear!

<brenda> i forgot to do that

<kat> wow janet

<deb> that works

<RubberRabb> oh, well that's a little thing

<Scout> hope I never do that

<RubberRabb> and easy to forget

<brenda> yep

<Scout> how did it happen?

<Janet> The only samples I could come up with were two sets of magnets I scanned this morning.

<brenda> but it sure makes a difference

<Janet> i sorta kinda got confused and did the fdisk thing on the wrong drive

<brenda> janet i never did any samples that looked this good

<brenda> wow

<RubberRabb> Libster, went to your eboard--you've had all kinds of reviews already--good work

<kat> hi magent

<kat> hi kriz

<Libster> THANKS Rabbit!

<Kriztina> hi

<Janet> hey maggie and Kriz.

<Janet> SO LET ME TELL YOU ALL ABOUT SPARKLE'S SAMPLES. :)

<brenda> yes please do

<kat> hi glitr

<brenda> hey gltr

<Janet> THE PAGE IS AT http://www.dm.net/~sparkles/classes/powderedpearls/ AND BLESS SPARKLE'S HEART LOANING ME MORE THAN HALF THE SAMPLES

<Scout> tell us, tell us

<glitrbug> thanks. sorry I am late

<Janet> NOW MOST OF YOU ARE GOING TO KNOW A LOT OF THIS, BUT THERE ARE ENOUGH NEW PEOPLE WHO WANT TO KNOW ABOUT POWDERED PEARLS OR PEARL EX OR FAERIE DUST SO THIS IS THIS CLASS

<Janet> AND HOW I'M MAKING THOSE MAGNETS IS NEW TO ME, AT LEAST

<brenda> hey lynn

<Janet> SO FIRST OFF, LET ME SAY THAT THERE ARE SOME SMALL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN FAERIE DUST AND PEARL EX AND POWDERED PEARLS...

<Janet> ALL THE TECHNIQUES WORK THE SAME WITH ALL OF THESE, THOUGH.

<brenda> http://www.dm.net/~sparkles/classes/powderedpearls/

<Lynn> Hi!

<Janet> AND I'M GOING TO SAY "POWDERED MICA" TO MEAN ANY OR ALL OF THE ABOVE

<Scout> Is any one else having trouble getting the sample page?

<brenda> http://www.dm.net/~sparkles/classes/powderedpearls/

<Janet> EXCEPT WHEN I FORGET AND SAY PEARLS, JUST BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT i USE

<brenda> scout make sure all of the url is on one line

<brenda> http://www.dm.net/~sparkles/classes/powderedpearls/

<Janet> http://www.dm.net/~sparkles/classes/powderedpearls/ IS THE PAGE

<beanjean> hi everyone1

<deb> hi shannon

<beanjean> oops

<Shannon> hey y'all

<Janet> I KNOW SOMEONE'S GOING TO ASK ME ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE, OR ASK ABOUT THAT SCHMINKE STUFF THAT SOME VENDORS SELL. AND I CAN'T GIVE YOU A GREAT ANSWER, BUT THERE'S DIFFERENCES IN COLOR AND IN THE GRIND OF THEM

<bren> hey shannon

<Janet> LOOK AT WHAT YOU ARE USING, IF THERE IS A WARNING NOT TO BREATHE THE STUFF... DON'T BREATHE THE STUFF. THAT IS ONE DIFFERENCE IN SOME OF THEM.

<glitrbug> which do you have the most of

<Janet> IT DEPENDS ON HOW THE COLOR IS ADDED.

<bren> http://www.dm.net/~sparkles/classes/powderedpearls/

<Janet> I ACTUALLY HAVE THE MOST POWDERED PEARLS. I STARTED OUT WITH THEM, DECIDED ON THEM BECAUSE THEY WERE A BIT CHEAPER AND BECAUSE OF THAT BREATHING THING, I KNEW I'D NEVER WEAR A MASK.

<Kaye> powdered pearls colors are great

<glitrbug> Yeah, that's what I thought. Masks make me clausterphobic

deb can't type cause the cat is in between her hands breathing ont he keyboard

<Janet> AND I KNEW THE MANUFACTURER OF THE PEARLS FROM WAY BACK AND KNEW SHE WAS SELLING MAKEUP GRADE MICA, I FIGURED IF IT WAS SAFE FOR EYESHADOW IT WAS SAFE FOR ME TO BREATHE

<Kaye> can you make the powdered pearls into a water color too

<Janet> YOU CAN

<glitrbug> That's my next thing to show mom. that ought to make her water colors class crazy

<Janet> BUT USE WHAT YOU'VE GOT, BUY WHAT YOU WANT, THERE ARE DIFFERENT COLORS IN THE DIFFERENT KINDS

<Janet> http://www.dm.net/~sparkles/classes/powderedpearls/

<Janet> LET'S START AT THE TOP, SHALL WE?

<Janet> THAT WEDDING CARD, THE POWDERED MICA PART OF IT IS THE BACKGROUND

<Janet> THIS IS A TECHNIQUE MOST OF US HAVE USED, BUT IT'S A FAVORITE AND SO EASY SO I'M TELLING ABOUT IT

<Janet> YOU STAMP WHATEVER YOU WANT WITH EMBOSSING INK OR THE VERSAMARK PAD

<deb> I love that card

<Janet> THEN BRUSH ON THE POWDERED MICA

<Shannon> who made the samples? they're loverly.

<Janet> THE SAMPLE AT THE VERY BOTTOM, THE COLOR IS A BIT WASHED OUT, BUT YOU CAN SEE IT, YOU CAN EVEN BRUSH ON DIFFERENT COLORS AND THEN BRUSH AT IT TO BLEND THEM TOGETHER

<Janet> SPARKLE MADE MOST OF THEM (SAVED MY BUTT HERE TONIGHT) AND I MADE THE TWO SETS OF MAGNETS

<Janet> (AND I HAVE ONE MORE I NEED TO FIND THAT IS WATERCOLORING WITH THEM)

<Janet> I'LL DO THE WATERCOLORING PART LAST SO WE DON'T NEED TO MOVE PAGES UNTIL THE END

<Janet> ANYWAY, TO TELL ABOUT THE BACKGROUND OF THE TOP WEDDING CARD, THE ONE WITH THE LEAF AND THE BOTTOM ONE...

<bren> and when you do a card like this people think you have slaved over it

<Janet> STAMP WHATEVER YOU WANT IN A PIGMENT INK

<RubberRabb> well you have> you've had to clean up all that extra powder when you are done

<Janet> YOU CAN USE WHATEVER COLOR PIGMENT INK YOU WANT, OR USE A CLEAR EMBOSSING PAD OR USE A VERSAMARK PAD

<Janet> LOL

<Janet> SPARKLE SAYS SHE CAN DO THIS WITHOUT MAKING A MESS

<bren> LOL rr

<Janet> I CAN'T<G>

<Janet> I SPARKLE FOR DAYS AFTER DOING THESE

<bren> SHE prlly can

<deb> lol

<bren> but i cant

<RubberRabb> well sparkle is just too tidy for words

<Janet> AND I DON'T CARE, THEY ARE SO PRETTY

<Janet> I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND, THOUGH, HOW I CAN TAKE A SHOWER AND CHANGE MY CLOSE AND STILL SPARKLE

<RubberRabb> my first venture with pearl ex was to spill a whole bottle on the floor

<bren> yes

<beanjean> me too RR

<Janet> I SPILLED MY WHOLE BOTTLE OF THAT COPPER SCHMINKE STUFF

<bren> me too

<Shannon> and if you blow your nose...it's all pearly too.

bren hangs head

<Janet> AND THAT STUFF YOU AREN'T SUPPOSED TO BREATHE AT ALL

<deb> lol

<Janet> I'M PROLLY STILL BREATHING IT

Libster hugs Bren

RubberRabbit sits by brenda, my untidyfriend

<beanjean> well I breaqthed it :)

<beanjean> oops

<beanjean> :(

<RubberRabb> actually you shouldn't breathe any of this stuff

<Janet> YEAH. YOU KNOW WHEN YOU BLOW YOUR NOSE AND YOUR, UH, TISSUE SPARKLES... YOU KNOW YOU BEEN BREATHING THAT WHAT YOU AREN'T SUPPOSED TO.<G>

beanjean can't type on this dang laptop

<bren> and my lumineires too

<RubberRabb> all mica isn't meant to be inhaled

<Keribou-af> Janet didn't you spill a bottle of Lumiere also?

<Janet> I JUST SPILLED THE BOTTLE OF LUMIERES LAST WEEK

<Janet> THE SCHMINKE I SPILLED ABOUT SIX MONTHS AGO

<RubberRabb> yeah, but you gots to be really well lunged to inhale that stuff

<bren> and watercolor ink

<deb> what was it you spilled in the pool?

<Janet> THAT WAS ACRYLIC PAINT, DEB

<Janet> IF IT CAN BE SPILLED, I'VE SPILLED IT.

<Scout> good gosh, with my lungs I'd better go in and throw all that stuff out!

<deb> lol

<RubberRabb> sorry, Janet--didn't mean to start a litany of the spillage

<Janet> AND IF IT CAN BE SPILLED WHERE IT WILL COST MORE MONEY TO CLEAN IT UP, I'VE DONE THAT, TOO

<glitrbug> Oh my, the pool boy didn't like that at all

<bren> lol

<Janet> LOL

<deb> least we know janet USES her stuff

<Janet> UNLESS YOUR POOL SERVICE BOYS ARE CUTE, DON'T SPILL ACRYLIC PAINT IN YOUR POOL. TRUST ME ON THIS ONE.

<glitrbug> Does an air filter help or blow it around more?

<Janet> YOU KNOW, IT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE BLOWING AROUND.

<glitrbug> the powdered stuff

<RubberRabb> just wear a dust mask

<Janet> BUT THEN MY SNOT IS PURTY SO I GUESS IT IS

<Scout> my "pool boy" is dh.

<RubberRabb> one of those cheapie ones and you'll protect your lungs from any of this stuff

<Janet> I HAD TO CALL THE PROFESSIONALS. I WAS LOOKING AT ACRYLICS IN THE FILTER AND ON THE TILES

<glitrbug> Well, you must have found a keeper scout

<deb> ok - let's get back to class now

<deb> sorry janet

<Janet> SO! LIBBY! ANY QUESTIONS ON THE BACKGROUNDS?

<Libster> yes

<Janet> WELL??

<Janet> EASY, REALLY. TRY IT.

<Libster> you said to stamp, with emboss, or versamark-

<Libster> then what?

<RubberRabb> janet, you didn't get past the stamping part

<bren> brush with pwder

<RubberRabb> LOL

<Janet> ANY PIGMENT INK, STAMP WITH IT, THIS SEEMS TO WORK BEST FOR ME ON MATTE PAPER, BUT I'VE HEARD PEOPLE SAY THEY USE IT ALL

<RubberRabb> Matte paper is easier--has less static to grab the powders

<Janet> THE COLOR AND NUANCES OF COLOR WILL CHANGE DEPENDING ON THE COLOR PIGMENT INK YOU STAMPED WITH

<Janet> EXPERIMENT, SEE THE DIFFERENCE IN GOLD OVER BLACK, OR OVER RED, OR OVER CLEAR EMBOSSING INK

<Janet> SO YOU HAVE IT STAMPED...

<Libster> k

<Janet> GET A NICE BIG SOFT PAINT BRUSH AND SHAKE YOUR JAR OF MICA...

<RubberRabb> GENTLY

<bren> lol

<Janet> AND THEN "PAINT" OUT OF THE LID. JUST GET A BIT OF THE POWDER ON THE BRUSH AND BRUSH IT OVER WHERE YOU'VE STAMPED

<Janet> IT DOESN'T TAKE MUCH MICA

<bren> dry paint

<Libster> ok

<bren> dry brush

<Janet> (AND IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY, LOOSE EYESHADOW WILL WORK JUST GROOVY)

<deb> http://www.dm.net/~sparkles/classes/powderedpearls/

<Janet> CHEAP EYESHADOW!

<bren> yes yardsale eyeshadows

<beanjean> uhh you're suppose to use a brush?

<Janet> EXPENSIVE STUFF HAS MOISTERIZERS, AND COULD STAIN YOUR CARDSTOCK

<deb> lol or your finger

<Janet> JEAN, HOW DO YOU GET THE POWDER ON?

<Janet> OH! YOUR FINGER!

<bren> i use make up brush

<Janet> FINGERS WORK

<MaggieB> janet the ink should be dry first?

<RubberRabb> or cast around your friends and ask for their out-of-date eyeshadows

<beanjean> dump it

<bren> no maggie

<beanjean> have a mess

<MaggieB> no?

<bren> no

<RubberRabb> no--the ink needs to be wet to grab the powder

<bren> hey owen

<Janet> NO, THE INK SHOULDN'T BE DRY. IT SHOULDN'T BE REAL JUICY, BUT JUST SORT OF THERE. IF IT IS REAL JUICY, WAIT A FEW MINUTES BEFORE BRUSHING ON THE MICA POWDER

<beanjean> duh guess a brush would be good

<Janet> BUT DON'T LET IT DRY OUT EITHER

<RubberRabb> it's like you are embossing, but you don't need to heat it

<Owen> hi

<MaggieB> not like with the pastel chalks?

<RubberRabb> Hi owen

<Janet> HIYA, OWEN, SAMPLES ARE HERE> http://www.dm.net/~sparkles/classes/powderedpearls/

<MaggieB> i did it with the ink dry and it worked with pearl ex

<Janet> I BET IT IS VERY SIMILAR TO DOING THIS WITH PASTEL CHALKS

<MaggieB> and the ink was dry

<MaggieB> had to be

<Janet> LIB, YOU CAN BRUSH ON VARIOUS COLORS AND THEN BLEND THE COLORS TOGETHER WITH YOUR BRUSH

<Janet> THIS IS ALL WITH DRY POWDER

<MaggieB> it is still sticky enought

<RubberRabb> pretty much the same but pastels will stick ok to dry ink; sometimes mica won't..

<Janet> YES, THE PIGMENT INKS WILL STAY STICKY FOR AN HOUR OR SO

<Libster> ok

<Janet> DEPENDING ON HOW POROUS YOUR PAPER IS

<Scout> boy, that site just won't come up for me.

<glitrbug> and how humid it is

<MaggieB> i used a heat gun on mine to make sure they were dry and the pearl ex still stuck

<Janet> NOW AFTER YOU HAVE IT BRUSHED ON?

<bren> scout what is your email?

<Libster> yes?

<Janet> SCOUT, IT NEEDS TO END WITH THE POWDEREDPEARLS/ PART, MAKE SURE YOU'RE PICKING UP THE VERY END OF THE URL

<sparklenke> the new versamark pad is about the best thing to stamp with...

<sparklenke> then brush the pearls over it

<Janet> ANYWAYS, AFTER YOU'VE GOT THE MICA BRUSHED ON AND IT'S LOOKING GORGEOUS EXCEPT YOU HAVE EXTRANEOUS POWDER WHERE YOU DIDN'T STAMP?

<Janet> TAKE A TISSUE AND SORT OF GENTLY BUFF IT UP

<RubberRabb> like all over myself

<Libster> lol

<Janet> AND THIS LOOKS GORGEOUS.

<Libster> ok

<Libster> thanks for taking time to explain'

<beanjean> don't dump it on, you can't get the excess off!

<Janet> NOW WHEN YOU THINK IT IS BUFFED JUST RIGHT AND YOU ARE WAY HAPPY WITH YOUR RESULTS (AND YOU WILL BE, I PROMISE)...

<Janet> YOU ARE NOT FINISHED!

<Libster> ok! :-)

<Janet> EVENTUALLY THAT PIGMENT INK WILL DRY COMPLETELY UP AND THE MICA WILL FALL OFF

<Janet> SO SPRAY IT WITH A FIXATIVE

<Libster> oh no

<RubberRabb> yep don't ask us how we know

<Janet> ONCE YOU SPRAY FIX ON IT, THEN IT'S PERMANENT

<deb> lol

<Janet> LOL YEAH, DON'T ASK ME HOW I KNOW THAT EITHER

<Libster> Krylon matte ok?

<deb> or hair spray

<Janet> THAT'S GOOD OR CHEAP HAIR SPRAY

<RubberRabb> any fixative at all lib

<MaggieB> or buy the fixative that is workable

<MaggieB> and you can go back and do more

<Janet> I THINK I USE THAT KRYLON WORKABLE FIXATIVE (I LIKE HOW IT SMELLS)

<MaggieB> its by kryon too

deb looks at janet - you aren't posed to smell it!

<RubberRabb> yes, it's great for your liver, too

<Janet> BUT BE SURE AND FIX IT, OR NEXT WEEK YOU'LL PICK IT UP AND THE MICA WILL RUB OFF AND YOU'LL CRY

<Libster> ok

RubberRabbit adds Janet's name to the liver transplant list

<Libster> LOL RR

Janet SNIFFS EVERYTHING. E6000 IS MY FAVORITE

<deb> roflol rr

<MaggieB> yikes

<Shannon> ohohoh me too janet

<kat> roflol

<Janet> MMMMMMMMM

RubberRabbit adds janet's name to the TOP of the transplant list for livers

<Shannon> that and rubber cement. applied in a small dark closet.

<deb> lol

<kat> you guys are too much

<Janet> OH YEAH BABY

<Shannon> then go fill your car up with gas. it's heaven.

<MaggieB> products of the 60's

<Janet> I LIKE SEEING THE PRETTY COLORS WHEN I SNIFF THIS STUFF

<Libster> bunch of secret snorters in here

<beanjean> hey you try that Cool Glue?

Magenta suggests a closet with light, so you can see what you are doing

<Janet> LOL

<Janet> OKAY!

RubberRabbit thinks> wonders> do they make spare parts for HUMAN hard drives?

<Janet> THE NEXT SAMPLE, THOSE HOLLY LEAVES?

<Janet> THAT ONE IS MINE!

<deb> ok - back to class you all

<MaggieB> ahem, janet is trying to get us back on track......

<kat> lol rr

<Scout> When I was a little girl, 100 years ago, I always loved the smell of gasoline!

<Janet> OOO AHHH LOVELY

<RubberRabb> that one is my favorite janet

<kat> i love the holly leaves

<Shannon> those are the most lovely holly leaves i've ever seen

<Janet> THIS IS EASY STUFF AND SOOOO IMPRESSIVE LOOKING

<Magenta> that's when they had the really good stuff in it Scout

<MaggieB> and very pretty holly

<Janet> I IMPRESSED MYSELF

<deb> what colors did you use on those janet?

<deb> on the background

<Janet> I WAS PAYING ATTENTION DURING LEA'S CLASS A COUPLE WEEKS AGO

RubberRabbit puts her hands over LIbster's ears> she's not allowed to learn how to abuse art supplies

<Janet> THIS IS THE STAMP, STAMPED WITH PERMANENT INK (LOVE DEM BRILLIANCE PADS) ON ACETATE

<Janet> I USE CHEAP COPIER TRANSPARENCIES FROM THE OFFICE SUPPLY STORE

<Janet> THEN MAKE THE BACK STICKY, HOWEVER YOU DO THAT.

<bren> brilliance on transparency?

<RubberRabb> ooh, Janet, that's on acetate? Excellent!!

<Janet> THROUGH THE XYRON MACHINE WORKS WELL, SPRAY ADHESIVE WORKS WELL, THOSE NEW DOUBLE STICK TAPE SHEETS WORK REALLY WELL

<kat> you couldn't tell it was acetate from the picture

<RubberRabb> Brilliance inks are marvellous

<bren> can you use laminate sheets?

<Janet> BRILLIANCE PADS ON TRANSPARENCIES ARE WONDERFUL

<bren> wow

<Janet> LAMINATE SHEETS, THE COLD LAMINATE? THAT WORKS PERFECTLY

<Magenta> do you need to heat set it Janet?

<Janet> AND IT'S ALREADY STICKY ON THE BACK :)

<bren> ok ty

<deb> quintessentials here in the mall sells those brilliance pads

<Janet> HEAT SET YOUR BRILLIANCE PADS

<RubberRabb> actually I think you can, but your stamping needs to go on the front

<bren> k

<Janet> STAMP ON THE NON-STICKY SIDE OF THE COLD LAMINATE

<Janet> NOW IF YOU'VE USED COPIER TRANSPARENCIES AND NEED TO MAKE THEM STICKY?

<Janet> I LIKE TO PUT THE STAMPED SIDE UNDER THE STICKY, SO IF PEOPLE ARE GONNA SCRATCH ON YOUR ART (LIKE IF THEY ARE REFRIGERATOR MAGNETS) THE STAMPING WON'T SCRATCH OFF

<Janet> SO VISUALIZE WITH ME... YOU GOT A STAMPED CLEAR PIECE OF PLASTIC AND ONE SIDE IS STICKY

<kat> that's a good idea cause people always have to scratch at it

<Janet> USING A DRY PAINTBRUSH AND DRY MICA POWDER "PAINT" YOUR AREAS DIRECTLY ON THE STICKY PART

<RubberRabb> they do that with carvings, too--drives you nuts

<bren> ooh neat idea

<Libster> they do it with quilts too

<deb> http://www.dm.net/~sparkles/classes/powderedpearls/

<Janet> THERE ARE ACTUALLY YWO SETS OF MAGNETS ON THE PAGE AT http://www.dm.net/~sparkles/classes/powderedpearls/

<kat> we need to put signs on things that say this is not a scratch and sniff

MaggieB covers her ears..... they DON'T do it with quilts, please tell me they dont libster!!

<RubberRabb> guess we're all just touchy-feely types--gotta handle everything

<glitrbug> I always want to touch things but I try hard to resist

<Shannon> we are a touchy feely society

<Janet> THE HOLLY LEAF ONE AND ON DOWN, THE DESIGN ONE

<Libster> touched my antique buttons, and charms, and my punchneedle, Maggie

<Libster> picked at them!!!!!

<kat> oh no lib

<Janet> (MAGGIE, THEY DO, IT MAKES YA SHUDDER BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE THOSE HANDS HAVE BEEN)

<kat> lol

MaggieB is cringing in the corner weeping

<RubberRabb> you do know where those hands have been

<deb> ok - back to class you guys

<RubberRabb> it's just that you with you didn't

<Libster> in their noses

<Libster> sorry Deb, Janet

<Janet> NOW THAT FLOWER DESIGN ONE, i WENT ALL ANAL ON IT AND USED THE PAINT ON SIZING THAT YOU USE FOR LEAVING ON THAT

<Janet> PAINTED EACH COLOR I WANTED, LET THAT SIZING GO CLEAR LIKE YOU'RE USPPOSED TO, THEN PAINTED ON (WITH DRY POWDER) EACH COLOR

<RubberRabb> good idea, Janet--I've got about four bottles of that stuff

<MaggieB> one area at a time?

<bren> sizing??

<Janet> THEN WHEN I HAD ALL THE COLORS I WANTED ON IT, (YES, ONE COLOR AREA AT A TIME)

<bren> what is that?

<RubberRabb> for gold leafing, brenda

<Janet> IT'S LIKE LIQUID GLUE YOU PAINT ON

<deb> yeah what kinda sizing?

<bren> oh ok

<deb> oh ok

<RubberRabb> it's a dry clear glue but it dries tacky

<bren> got ya

<bren> ty

<Janet> ANYWAYS, AFTER I HAD ALL THE COLORS PAINTED, AND THIS WAS WITH THE HOLLY TOO...

<Janet> I SPRAYED THE WHOLE THING WITH SPRAY ADHESIVE AND PUT "LEAF" ON THE BACK

<RubberRabb> never thought of using sizing, Janet--thanks!!

<bren> wow

<Janet> OR WELL, I WAS GONNA USE LEAFING, BUT I WAS LAZY SO I USED CRUMPLED UP FOIL INSTEAD

<bren> that is neat effect

<RubberRabb> oh, that would make it even more gorgeous

<bren> oh scraps of washed foil

<kat> crumpled foil it tres chic!!

<bren> recycling

<Janet> CANDY WRAPPERS ARE GOOD. THE HOLLY LEAVES I USED CRUMPLED UP ALUMINUM FOIL FROM THE KITCHEN

<RubberRabb> foil from candy?

<deb> really cool

<MaggieB> that works?

<MaggieB> cool

<RubberRabb> whose candy?

<Janet> THE FLOWER DESIGNS I USED, UH, UH, OKAY THE INSIDE OF MY CIGARETTE PACK

<bren> awesome

<RubberRabb> LOL

<MaggieB> no!

<MaggieB> cigarette foil?

<Janet> YES!

<kat> hersheys kisses has wonderful foil and in holiday colors no less

<deb> lol

<MaggieB> and you just stick them just like other foils?

<deb> wow another reason to buy chocolate

<RubberRabb> the spring colors would be cool too

<deb> I love it

<Janet> BUT IF YOU'RE NOT A SMOKER, GO BUY A NESTLES CRUNCH BAR, THAT HAS THE BEST FOIL

<RubberRabb> (easter eggs)

<Janet> CRUMPLE 'EM UP FIRST, THEN SMOOTH 'EM BACK OUT. MAKES A HOLOGRAM SORT OF LOOK

<MaggieB> NOW you tell us this..... AFTER halloween is OVER!

<RubberRabb> those afterdinner mints have striped foils

<deb> so janet

<Janet> CHRISTMAS IS COMING :)

<MaggieB> stripes!

<deb> you did that to the back of the holly leave magnet?

<RubberRabb> a textured stripe

<MaggieB> and and by the way janet the mint m&m's are OUT now

<RubberRabb> yummy too

<Janet> FOR SMALL THINGS, HERSEYS KISSES IN CHRISTMAS FOIL COLORS ARE VERY NICE

<kat> you can get really cool hologram foil at some of the dollar stores too

<Janet> I DID, DEB. THAT WAS JUST PLAIN OLD ALUMINUM FOIL OUTTA THE KITCHEN

<RubberRabb> Reese's cups foils are good too

<deb> wow

<Janet> LEA USES MYLAR LIKE THE FANCY WRAP

<Janet> I WAS TOO CHEAP. I USE THE INNARDS OUTTA MY CIG PACKS

<bren> i am going begging for people to save their candy wrappers

<bren> they will think i am nuts

<RubberRabb> shoot--tellthem to save the candy

<Libster> lol

<RubberRabb> you need to unwrap it yourself

<Janet> BREN, CHEAP GENERIC CIGS HAVE GOOD FOIL ON THE INSIDE

<bren> i save those janet

<Janet> YEAH, YOU NEED TO UNWRAP THE CANDY YOURSELF. IT'S FOR YOUR ART, AFTER ALL.

beanjean is getting tired....night all!

<RubberRabb> yeah other people don't crumple it properly

<MaggieB> so we should take up smoking to stamp? just like a texan!

<RubberRabb> night bj

<bren> but i can only eat so much candy

<beanjean> TTYS

<kat> nite bj

<MaggieB> night bj

<bren> bye bj

<RubberRabb> send the innards to me, brenda

<beanjean> nigt\ht all

<Janet> LOL, NO I TOLD YOU TO EAT LOTS OF CANDY INSTEAD OF TAKING UP SMOKING

<glitrbug> sleep tight!

<bren> lol RR

RubberRabbit has lots of room for candy

<bren> too late for that advice janet

<Shannon> i'll eat candy for a good cause

<Janet> NOW SEE THE SAMPLE THAT HAS THE NIFTY TILE ON IT AND THE LEAF BACKGROUND DONE IN GOLD?

<Libster> oh,yes, I like that

<MaggieB> next to the rose?

<bren> yes

<RubberRabb> yes, Janet--those are really nice too

<Janet> WHEN YOU ARE MAKING YOUR UTEE TILES, HOWEVER YOU DO THAT (I'VE RECENTLY BECOME A SUZE POT DIPPER)... YOU CAN SPRINKLE ON THE POWDERED MICA...

<Libster> I love those colors

<Janet> AND THEN USE A HEAT GUN TO BLOW AROUND THE POWDER IN THE EP, SWIRLING IT

<deb> roflol

<Janet> STAMP INTO IT

<Janet> IF YOU DON'T LIKE HOW YOU STAMPED INTO IT?

<Janet> HEAT IT UP AGAIN AND SWIRL AROUND THE INK TOO

<Janet> THEN STAMP INTO IT AGAIN

<Janet> LIB, YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE THE UTEE (ULTRA THICK EMBOSSING POWDER) BUT YOU CAN DO THESE TILES WITH YOUR REGULAR EP

<Janet> JUST PUT MULTIPLE LAYERS ON YOUR TILE

<Janet> WHEN THE EP IS HOT YOU CAN PUT MORE EP ON IT AND THE EP STICKS

<Libster> I have UTEE

<Janet> ABOUT FOUR OR FIVE TIMES REPEATING IT WITH REGULAR EP AND YOU'RE THICK ENOUGH TO STAMP INTO

<Janet> OH KEWL!

<Janet> ONE OR TWO LAYERS OF UTEE WILL DO THIS

<deb> we taught her well janet > )

<Janet> FLICK ON SOME POWDERED MICA INTO THAT AND HEAT AND SWIRL

<Janet> (YES, WE DID. lol)

<MaggieB> yes she learned acquisition quickly!

<deb> lol

<RubberRabb> yeah, Lib, when you do the tile, make sure you use corrugated cardboard or a piece of matboard

<Libster> yes I did

<bren> like momma ,like daughter

<RubberRabb> so it doesn't warp

<Libster> thanks RR

Shannon isn't going to point out how "flick" looks like another word when it's all caps like that

<Janet> SHE'LL HAVE ONE OF THOSE SUZE HOT POTS BEFORE YA KNOW IT. :)

<Janet> LOL

<deb> roflol

<MaggieB> lol shannon!

<RubberRabb> I love my suze pot

<Janet> I DID A DOUBLE TAKE ON WHEN I'D TYPED THAT THE FIRST TIME

<RubberRabb> I use it like an electric skillet

<bren> i dont have a hot pot yet

<deb> shannon you are a NUT

<Janet> I SWORE I DIDN'T TYPE U NO WHUT

<Shannon> lol and i love what it did to the meaning of the sentence

<Janet> OKAY, GOT THE TILE CONCEPT?

<deb> roflol

<MaggieB> yeppers

<deb> ok moving on

<bren> yep

<Janet> (MOVING RIGHT ALONG BEFORE I TYPE FLICK FLICK FLICK JUST TO SEE IT)

<RubberRabb> yep

<MaggieB> how did you do the leaf background janet?

<MaggieB> lol

<RubberRabb> we'll ban you from using that word, Janet

<Janet> THAT LEAF BACKGROUND IS A SPARKLE SAMPLE, IT'S SO LOVELY

<Janet> FLICK YA

<MaggieB> yeah we arent even supposed to use the S word remember?

<deb> lpl

<deb> what shit?

<Janet> OH YEAH. ONLY I CAN USE THAT ONE

<MaggieB> lol

<Janet> BUT WE ALL CAN TYPE FLICK

<deb> yeah only janet can say shit

<MaggieB> flick you!

<MaggieB> lol

<Janet> LOL

<Scout> you and all the Girl Scout leaders I know

<RubberRabb> FLICK YOU TOO JANET

Libster hold her hands over her Jr rabbit ears and humssss

<Scout> the "s' word, that is

MaggieB can just imagine about a year from now newbies trying to figure out what flick you means

<Janet> THIS IS HOW WE SURVIVE THOSE SCOUT LONG TRIPS. WE SAY FLICK BEHIND THE BUILDING WHEN THE GIRLS CAN'T HEAR

<Libster> LOL

<Janet> YEAH, I CRACKED MY GROUP UP, GOT FED UP WITH THE MIDDLE SCHOOL FOUL MOUTH AND TOLD THEM IT WAS A NEW TROOP RULE, ONLY JANET COULD SAY SHIT

<Janet> AND MADE THEM REPEAT AFTER ME "ONLY JANET CAN SAY SHIT"

<MaggieB> do you know if sparkle used mica or foil?

<MaggieB> of leaf?

<Scout> my girls decided they would all use "poop" instead

<deb> sparklenkelly

<Janet> SPARKLE USED MICA ON THAT LEAF BACKGROUND

<deb> are you here

<Janet> SHE STAMPED WITH THE CLEAR INK AND THEN BRUSHED ON GOLD POWDERED MICA

<MaggieB> ty

<Janet> THEN BUFFED IT UP WITH A TISSUE

<Janet> AND SHE DID THE SAME ON DOWN ON THE FLOWERED BACKGROUND THAT IS A STRIP OF FLOWERED BACKGROUND WITH THE ROUND DEALIE ON TOP

<deb> so you rubbed the pp into the image?

<Janet> ONLY THAT ONE SHE USED SEVERAL COLORS AND USED HER BRUSH TO BLEND THEM TOGETHER

<Janet> NO, YOU BRUSH THE MICA ON THEN AFTER IT'S "SET" BUFF IT UP, MAINLY TO GET THE EXTRANEOUS POWDER OFF THE PAPER THAT ISN'T STAMPED

<MaggieB> did you know that calligraphers are buying pearl ex to make ink to letter with?

<Janet> IT DOES CLING A BIT

<Janet> YOU CAN USE THIS STUFF FOR JUST ABOUT ANYTHING!

<Janet> I USE IT TO COLOR MY POLYMER CLAY

<RubberRabb> oh, they've always been buying p-ex

<bren> maggie i thought that is what it was created for

<RubberRabb> they used it before stampers did

<bren> yep

<MaggieB> i got the impression it is pretty new to them too

<RubberRabb> depends on the calligrapher

<Libster> probably new to the new ones, like this is new to me

<RubberRabb> some of the stampy stuff with pearl ex might be new to them, but not ink mixing

<Janet> OKAY! NOW FOR MY LAST TRICK... LET'S PAINT WITH THIS STUFF!

<Libster> how do you know when this is 'set'?

<MaggieB> COOL

<deb> woo hoo

<Janet> LIB, WAIT LIKE 30 MINUTES, THEN BUFF

<Libster> ok

<Janet> WITH A SOFT TISSUE, AND GENTLY

<Libster> thanks

<Janet> BUT ENOUGH TO GET THE STRAY POWDER OFF THE PAPER

<Janet> I LOVE PAINTING WITH MICA!

<cak> What about using a soft brush to buff instead?

<RubberRabb> oh Janet, you just love painting

<Janet> LOOK HERE, THIS WAS FOR ANOTHER CLASS BUT THERE ARE SOME WITH MICA

<Janet> http://cyberstampers.com/class/paintophobia/paintsamples.html

<Janet> YOU CAN USE A SOFT BRUSH TO BUFF, TOO

<Janet> I USE A TISSUE BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE ANY PATIENCE

<cak> (I'd press too hard with a tissue)

<bren> i press hard

<Kaye> what is glycerin paint

<bren> it doesnt take it all off

<Janet> ACTUALLY LOOK HERE PRECISELY: http://cyberstampers.com/class/paintophobia/sample6.jpg

<bren> just spray after you buff

<Janet> GLYCERIN PAINT IS LIKE THE FAERIE MYST PAINTS OR THE RADIANT PEARLS, PAINT WITH A GLYCERIN BASE

<Kaye> ok

<Kaye> thanks

<Janet> AND YES, SPRAY FIXATIVE AFTER YOU BUFF

<Janet> THAT SAMPLE 6 THAT IS THE INDIAN BLANKET?

<kat> hi maine

<Janet> THAT WAS POWDERED MICA

<Libster> Paper!!!

<Janet> HEY LINDA

<mainepaper> hey...

<RubberRabb> pp--hey!

<Janet> http://cyberstampers.com/class/paintophobia/sample6.jpg

<bren> http://cyberstampers.com/class/paintophobia/sample6.jpg

<Libster grabs paper and dances

<paperpushe> lol

paperpusher hugs everyone all around!

<bren> whise image is that janet?

<MaggieB> indian blanket?

<bren> gg designs?

<Janet> PREPARE YOUR IMAGE HOW YOU WOULD TO WATERCOLOR... EITHER STAMP AND EMBOSS OR ELSE STAMP WITH PERMANENT INK

<MaggieB> i get floweres

<Janet> YES, INDIAN BLANKET (THIS IS FLOWERS)

<Janet> NOW PHIL IN MINNESOTA SAID THIS WAS DAISIES BUT IT'S NOT, IT'S INDIAN BLANKET

<MaggieB> oh ok

<Janet> AND I PAINTED IT AS INDIAN BLANKET

<bren> so it is redcastle image?

<MaggieB> i thought an Indian BLANKET!

<Janet> THIS ONE IS A RED CASTLE IMAGE

<bren> ty

<Janet> SO YOU HAVE YOUR IMAGE READY TO WATERCOLOR...

<MaggieB> silly me

<Janet> ONLY YOU CAN EITHER MIX YOUR MICA INTO YOUR WATERCOLORS

<Janet> OR YOU CAN MAKE A PURE MICA PAINT BY MIXING THEM WITH WATER AND GUM ARABIC (THE GUM ARABIC IS TO BOND THEM TO THE PAPER)

<Janet> NOW IF YOU DON'T HAVE GUM ARABIC, YOU CAN USE JUST MICA AND WATER, BUT SPRAY FIXATIVE THEM AFTER YOU'RE FINISHED

<Janet> BECAUSE WHEN THE WATER DRIES, THE MICA WILL BLOW RIGHT OFF THE PAPER

<Janet> AND YOU'LL CRY

<MaggieB> janet can you give us the proportions using liquid gum arabic and distilled water to mica?

<Libster> lots of potential crying here

<sparklenke> 4 parts Pearls to 1 part gum arabic

<Janet> THIS IS JUST INCREDIBLE LOOKING, ESPECIALLY ON DARK PAPER. ALTHOUGH I DID SOME OF THE OTHER BOTANICALS ON WATERCOLOR PAPER THAT WAS WHITE AND IT WAS JUST STUNNING

<sparklenke> and as much water as you want to the consistency paintyou want

<Janet> SPARKLE KNOWS!

<MaggieB> ty sparkle

<RubberRabb> well, you can get lazier if you don't have powdered pigments and get the new Pearl Ex palettes

<Janet> (JANET WOULDA SAID "PUT ENOUGH GUM ARABIC, THEN MORE MICA, THEN WATER" CUZ JANET DOESN'T MEASURE ANYTHING)

<RubberRabb> they're already mixed

<bren> http://cyberstampers.com/class/paintophobia/sample6.jpg

<sparklenke> sparkle gives all her customers lil spoons to measure it out

<sparklenke> <G>

<Janet> YEAH, BUT I'M CHEAP AND GUM ARABIC AND MICA IS A LOT CHEAPER THAN THE PREMIXED PAINTS

<Janet> (SPARKLE WOULD. LOL. I'D USE THE LIL SPOONS TO EAT TREATS AT MY DESK AND STILL JUST DUMP AND APPROXIMATE)

<MaggieB> i understand too little gum and it wont bind, but too much and it stays sticky

<Janet> YEP

<Scout> can you all stop for a minute while I go to the bathroom?

<Janet> GOOD PLAN SCOUT!

<MaggieB> lol

<Janet> I'LL ANSWER PAINT QUESTIONS

<deb> where can we get those pp?

<Janet> (AND IF NOBODY HAS ANY, THEN I NEED A POTTY PAWS TOO)

<deb> and that brilliance pad?

<Janet> DEB, WHAT A GOOD QUESTION!

<deb> lol

<Janet> QUINTESSENTIALS AKA SPARKLE HAS JUST STARTED CARRYING THESE AND SHE'S GOT SPECIALS!

<MaggieB> was that a seque?

<deb> woo hoo

<Janet> AND IF YOU ORDER AND SAY YOU WERE IN CLASS, YOU GET AN EXTRA GIFT WITH YOUR ORDER!

<deb> specials

<MaggieB> woohoo

<Libster> woo hoo

<Janet> (I THINK IT WAS A PAID ANNOUNCEMENT<G>)

<paperpushe> ewwww potty paws? My dog had that the other night and I had to clean it up!!

<Janet> LOL

<MaggieB> lol

<deb> lol

<Janet> NOW YOU CAN BUY POWDERED GUM ARABIC AT QUINTESSENTIALS TOO

<deb> nope just loyal customers

<Janet> YOU CAN GET GUM ARABIC IN LIQUID FORM OR IN POWDER FORM

<Janet> AND OTHER PEOPLE NEVER HAVE A PROBLEM, BUT JANET MOLDS HER LIQUID GUM ARABIC

<Janet> AND THE POWDER IS CHEAPER, ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE GONNA MOLD THE SECOND HALF OF A JAR OF LIQUID

<MaggieB> i guess!

<Janet> THE POWDER IS REALLY VERY INEXPENSIVE

<MaggieB> and sparkle has it?

<Janet> AND I LOVE HOW IT PAINTS

<Janet> SPARKLE HAS IT

<bren> and for those that have trouble getting colors to mix

<MaggieB> and what are the proportions for using dry gum and distilled water with mica?

<Janet> NOW (DESPITE WHAT THIS DOES TO SPARKLE'S GUM ARABIC SALES) IF YOU MIX YOUR POWDERED MICA IN COMMERICIAL WATERCOLORS?

<Janet> YOU DON'T NEED TO USE GUM ARABIC

<sparklenke> ahh, we have the nifty new pearls wetting solution <G>

<Janet> 1:4

<sparklenke> for those nasty hard to mix colors bren

<bren> yeah sparkle

<MaggieB> for wet OR dry?

<Janet> OH! THAT WETTING SOLUTION IS GREAT STUFF. I LOVE THAT STUFF!

<Janet> HEY LORY

Shannon doesnt have any wetting solution. what is it?

<Lory> hey

<Shannon> hey lory

yamamama needs to knwo about the holly crad background

<bren> http://cyberstampers.com/class/paintophobia/sample6.jpg

<Janet> COMMERCIAL WATERCOLORS (EVEN YOUR PRANGS FROM THE GROCERY STORE) HAVE A BINDER IN THEM, AND UNLESS YOU REALLY MIX A LOT OF THE POWDER IN THEM, THEY WILL DO FUN ALL BY THEMSELVES

<bren> hey lory

<Shannon> yama shoulda been paying attention earlier

<Janet> OH YAMA. THAT BACKGROUND WAS SPRAYED ADHESIVE AND CRUMBLED ALUMINUM FOIL GLUED ON

<Lory> hey everybody

<yamamama> no way

<Kaye> what does the wetting solution do

<Janet> THAT IS ON ACETATE WITH THE POWDERED PEARLS USED TO PAINT ON THE STICKY BACK

yamamama bops shannon

<Janet> THE WETTING SOLUTION HELPS THE POWDERED MICA, THE POWDERED GUM ARABIC AND THE WATER GO INTO SOLUTION

<Janet> GO LOOK AT SPARKLE'S COLORS. I NEED TO TAKE A WEE PIT STOP. BRB

<Scout> thank goodness

<RubberRabb> powdered and the premixed palettes

<MaggieB> so no matter if using wet or dry gum it is still 4:1 ratio to the powdered pearls?

<Scout> well, that feels better

<bren> yes maggie

<MaggieB> ty

<Scout> now if I just had something to eat

<MaggieB> these colors are GORGEOUS!

sparkle passes the leftovers to scout

deb passes scout some pizza

paperpusher hands Scout a piece of pie

<bren> they look even better in preson

<Scout> oooooh, pizza

<Scout> lemon meringue, my favorite

<MaggieB> sparkle where will we find the powdered gum?

<sparkle> I don't have it listed separately, but it's $2.00 a jar

<Scout> maggie, look on the back of the bedpost

<Janet> AHHHH I AM A GALLON LIGHTER NOW

<sparkle> including postage

<Owen> lemon meringue pizza?

<MaggieB> lol scout

<Scout> paperpusher had pie

<MaggieB> you ARE a pistol tonight!

<paperpushe> Wow Sparkle, that's a great price

<MaggieB> thats a good price sparkle

<paperpushe> Next time I need gum, I know where I'm going

<Janet> IT IS A GOOD PRICE AND WILL LAST A PRETTY LONG TIME (UNLESS YOU SPILL IT)

paperpusher HAD pie, but gave it all to Scout!

<deb> lol

<sparkle> or, if you get the accessories kit, there's a sample of powdered gum in there that'll probably last year through next year <G>

<Janet> (UNLESS YOU SPILL IT)

<MaggieB> what size jar is that sparkle?

<deb> unless you DON"T use stuff - just hoard it

<paperpushe> Sparkle...I got here WAY late...what's your url real quick? Can you tell you are tempting me?

Janet RECOMMENDS BUYING DOUBLE, FOR THOSE SPILLS

paperpusher is known for spills

<Scout> Janet, quit saying SPILL, my poltergiest will get new ideas

<sparkle> it's the same size jar the pearls come in maggie

<MaggieB> ty spark

<paperpushe> Feed him pie, Scout!!!

<sparkle> (there's no weight indication on my invoice <G>)

<Shannon> and you must have *all* of the colors of pearls.

<bren> yes all of them

<bren> but especially the midnites

<paperpushe> Sparkie gal, I need your url.....

<sparkle> oh

sparkle wakes

<Janet> OH MAN I LOVE THOSE MIDNIGHTS

<Shannon> they're the best.

<Janet> AND THE INTERFERENCE ONES TOO

<paperpushe> I NEED your url...hint hint

<sparkle> http://crafts.dm.net/mall/quintessentials/

<paperpushe> Thanks my friend

<MaggieB> http://crafts.dm.net/mall/quintessentials/pearls.html

<MaggieB> for the pearls

<paperpushe> Thanks Maggie, but I wanna shop!!!

<Janet> THE INTERFERENCE ARE MY FAVORITES FOR BACKGROUNDS, BECAUSE YOU DON'T SEE THEM FROM ONE DIRECTION AND THEN YOU START TO OPEN THE CARD AND THE BACKGROUND JUMPS AT YA

<sparkle> http://crafts.dm.net/mall/quintessentials/ppspecial.html for the specials

<paperpushe> Wow, just say the word shop and she hops to!!! lol

<Janet> THOSE ARE GREAT KITS!

Magenta thinks her turn on the computer is almost up, they are starting to circle

<Janet> WHAT A GOOD IDEA

<sparkle> actually, y'all need to buy LOTS to fund my new glass habit <G>

<Janet> THE NEW MICROFINE ONES ARE FANTASTIC TOO

<sparkle> And, Maggie, check out the pen for highlighting your calligraphy <G>

<MaggieB> great specials spark

<MaggieB> pen?

<Scout> first I have to find out why my little computer is not letting me go to these sites, before I can spend money

<MaggieB> oh the liner?

<sparkle> yep, the liner

<MaggieB> its cool

<Janet> SCOUT, SOMEONE HAS SET YOUR INTERNET ACCESS LIMITS, INSTEAD OF NO PORN, IT'S SET TO NO STAMP SHOPPING.

<Janet> YOU MUST FIX THAT

<deb> toochie toochie too

sparkle routinely has to take one of everything new from stock for quality control purposes

<deb> lol

<yamamama> hahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

yamamama is sparkles beta tester

<sparkle> kelly came over ot play glass and somehow bought some new inkpads ROFL

<Scout> girl scout leaders don't need no porn

<Shannon> i love the little spoons in the accessory kit

yamamama went to visit laura yesterday and went home with ink pads too

<Scout> we arepure

<Scout> teehee

<Magenta> yes Scout but you need to stamp shop

<sparkle> I love the lil spoons

<Scout> I know, I know....

<sparkle> they're good for spooning out lil bits of glitter too

<glitrbug> How did Carol Sutter do the light house sample in the lemon tree gallery? Watercolor it?

<Shannon> i use them for e.p. and beedz and pearls...and will have them if i ever take up my cocaine habit again

<Scout> dh was on here just before me and he probably pushed a wrong button

<sparkle> shannon, coke doesn't sparkle

Magenta was wondering about little spoons and old memories

<sparkle> it's boring

deb thinks shannon got all the talent in our rubber family > (

<Shannon> well it makes you be able to stay up later and play with your sparkley stuff

<Shannon> so i hear. i really wouldn't know.

<sparkle> unlike kahlua

<sparkle> kaluha?

<sparkle> how do you spell that?

<deb> kaluha

<yamamama> with the "h" I think

<paperpushe> any way you want to sparkle

<Scout> it's brown stuff you drink

<sparkle> rofl

<Janet> THAT LOOKS LIKE MICA BRUSHED OVER WEB SPRAY TO ME

<Shannon> who cares? the bottle doesnt stay in the house long enough for me to read it

<yamamama> lol

<yamamama> shannon,, what were those berry drinks we were drinking in Marlboro?

<Owen> kahlua

<glitrbug> Janet, the lighthouse with the waves

<Shannon> those were raspberry shannons

<paperpushe> Sparkle, I apologize, but could you tell me the difference between Powdered Pearls, Fairie Mist, Pearl ex and Moonbeams...I keep seeing all these mica based products....

<Janet> GLITRBUG, TRY SPRAYING THAT WEBBING SPRAY FOR A BACKGROUND AND WAIT A FEW MINUTES UNTIL IT'S NOT WET BUT STILL TACKY AND BRUSH ON POWDERED MICA

<Janet> OH THE OTHER ONE. LET ME LOOK

<yamamama> and the shannon part of the raspberry is what shannon?

<Janet> LOOKS LIKE MICA IN WATERCOLOR TO ME

<Janet> LINDA, YOU WUZ LATE.

<glitrbug> It's so pretty

<Janet> THE MAIN DIFFERENCES ARE IN THE COLORS AND THE FINENESS OF THE GRIND

<Shannon> chambord and cream

<yamamama> ty

<Janet> THE TECHNIQUES WORK THE SAME WITH ALL OF THEM

paperpusher hangs head in shame

<Janet> LOL

<Janet> SO BUY WHAT YOU LIKE THE COLORS AND THE PRICE OF

paperpusher was spending money on rubber though!!!

<Janet> LOL A WORTHY OCCUPATION FOR SURE

<Janet> I LOVE THIS STUFF

<Janet> AND I HAVE SOME OF ALL OF THE ABOVE. I GRAB WHATEVER THE COLOR I WANT IS

<Shannon> well, you cant live without plum and jade

<Shannon> and all the midnights

<Magenta> ok, I gotta go - Thanks for the class

<Janet> IF THE COLORS ARE THE SAME, LIKE GOLD AND SILVER AND SUCH, I GET THE POWDERED PEARLS BECAUSE OF THE PRICE AND BECAUSE I LIKE THE VENDOR A LOT

Magenta waves goodbye

<Scout> ooooh, i don't think I have plum and jade

<sparkle> ROFL...they're all pretty much the same thing PP

<paperpushe> The midnights have me strangely intrigued

<paperpushe> Night Magenta
