<RubberRabb> to make combs for paste paper

cindyc never did paste paper.....

<brendab> OH RR

<LiBsTeR> smart, Rabbit!

<RubberRabb> oh those binder clips from the office store

<RubberRabb> don't use them for painting

<paperpushe> ANY RECYCLED PLASTIC WOULD WORK, i WOULD THINK

<enchy> and shaving/make up brushes from the dollar store make the best soft stipple brushes

<RubberRabb> they rust

<brendab> I HAVE USED THE GROUT ON STENCILS

<enchy> like hte expesnive ones judikins is selling

<enchy> sheesh

<RubberRabb> use the plastic ones--they're cheaper and can be washed

<brendab> OH NEAT ENCHY

<RubberRabb> yes they do

<paperpushe> HOW ABOUT USING HAIRSPRAY INSTEAD OF FIXATIVE?

<RubberRabb> those expensive stipple brushes

<cindyc> and the bath tub blocks instead of penscore

<RubberRabb> are actually battery cleaner brushes

<paperpushe> GREAT IDEA, CINDY

<enchy> they are?

<RubberRabb> you can get them from some wholesale outlet places

<enchy> i ordered a bunch from the wholesale beauty supply joint

<paperpushe> BATTERY CLEANER BRUSHES?

<RubberRabb> yes they are

<kat> bath tub blocks?

<kat> what are they?

<BRENDA> BATH TUB BLOCKS

<RubberRabb> and those battery cleaner brushes are three for a dollar

<BRENDA> ?

<CrowFeathe> i've tried to f ind those bath tub blocks but have been unsuccessful, what are they actually called, the brand I mean or name, cindy?

<cindyc> yes they are penscore before penscore became "penscore"... g

<RubberRabb> bath tub blocks are the things the kids can play with in the tub

<BRENDA> WHAT DO YOU USE THE BATTERY BRUSHES FOR?

<cindyc> i don't remember.. my sis had bought soem for my dd years ago

<RubberRabb> same material as pen score

<kat> oh, ty

<RubberRabb> battery brushes=stipple brushes

<Bluebell> body scrubbers

<RubberRabb> exactly the same as the ones toybox and others sell

<paperpushe> AND WHERE DO YOU GET THEM RABBIT?

<BRENDA> THE FOAM KNEE PADS FOR GARDENING ALSO WORK

<RubberRabb> wholesale tool places

<paperpushe> AH

<RubberRabb> but you gotta look

<BRENDA> OH NEAT

<RubberRabb> all those bigwig companies are getting them before they get to the wholesale outlets

<kat> a kush ball makes great backgrounds

<AliciaG> you can get some great tools at american science and surplus online

<RubberRabb> so does a rubberband brush

<MomCat> Savon has make up specials right not for Christmas.

<AliciaG> for relatively inexpensive

<LiBsTeR> yes, Rabbit

<paperpushe> ENCH, WHAT ELSE HAVE YOU GOTTEN THERE?

<RubberRabb> go to your dentist and get those cotton plugs they put in your mouth when they're doing flouride treatments

<[I got dropped here for a little bit again]

<enchy> what bunny?

<RubberRabb> if you are going to be doing something way messy or a bit irritating to your skin

<RubberRabb> coat your hand with Diamond Glaze first and let it dry

<Bluebell> yes

<RubberRabb> works almost like a plastic glove

<enchy> maryjo will do anything to sell that stuff

<CrowFeathe> right bluebell! a glittering smile!

<enchy> lol

<cindyc> won't that soak in?

<RubberRabb> no

<enchy> no - it dries on your hands

<RubberRabb> I tried it and it just washed off

<enchy> and you can peel it off

<Bluebell> lol

<enchy> except

<paperpushe> KINDA LIKE LIQUID GLOVES?

<cindyc> sounds expensive to me... lol... i get my rubber gloves free

<enchy> diamond glaze gives the ench a rash

<Bluebell> sticky fingers

<glitrbug> Who would recognize me without multicolored hands and sparles?

<enchy> lol

<glitrbug> sparkles

<RubberRabb> well you do have to make sure you aren't allergic to it

<RubberRabb> I suspect anyone with latex allergy might want to give it a miss

<enchy> i was surprised because i'm not allergic to much

<yamamama> †

<BRENDA> CINDY WHAT IS FUNTAK?

<Bluebell> butt wipe cards -

<BRENDA> WHERE DO YOU GET IT?

<cindyc> that poster tak

<BRENDA> OH OK

<CrowFeathe> and tissue paper bunched up and tapped on a stamp pad and then onto glossy paper makes a nice looking back round. can do on matte finish paper too but color holds up better on glossy

<cindyc> lots of other names.. like blue tak etc

<AmyLPR> at the dllar store

<CrowFeathe> toidy paper works too

<Bluebell> k

<janineafk> thanks Momcat

<Bluebell> sorta like rag art

<BRENDA> HEY JANINE

<RubberRabb> use baby wipes to clean stamps

<janineafk> hiya Brenda

<RubberRabb> or old washcloths

<cindyc> wall paper for envies and bg's

<kat> the anaglypta wallpaper makes great stamps

<BRENDA> I BOUGHT CHRISTNMAS GIFT WRP TO DO MY ENVELOPES

<CrowFeathe> but not baby wipes with oil, will mess with the rubber of stamps

<paperpushe> ANYONE HAVE ANY INNOVATIVE STORAGE IDEAS...USING CHEAP, UNUSUAL THINGS?

<CrowFeathe> anaglypta?

<enchy> i use babywipe containers

<Bluebell> rag art or paper towel art - clean stamp with water and paper towel and transferto other paper

<RubberRabb> anaglypta is textured wallpaper

<cindyc> also those paint things in place of stamp scrubbers

<BRENDA> HEY SHANNON

<Redstick> Yea!! Cheap stamping toys!

<Redstick> Hiya'll!

<Bluebell> hey

<janineafk> hi Enchy!

<enchy> hi janine

<yamamama> hey sis

<MomCat> I scrucnched up colored tissue paper that came with new shoes, dabbed it on an ink pad then spread it back out and used it for layering.

<BRENDA> WALL PAPER MAKES SOME GREAT STAMPS

<cindyc> i have pulled apart berber carpet for awesome fibers

<BRENDA> OH NEAT DIANE

<paperpushe> COOL

<CrowFeathe> sounds pretty momcat!

<BRENDA> OH MY CINDY

<CrowFeathe> did the carpet seller notice, cindy/

<RubberRabb> Get free samples of cardstock and stuff from stationery stores or from swatch places on line and use them for smaller cards or layering or punched items

<BRENDA> I HAVE TOOK SWEATERS APART FOR FIBERS

<CrowFeathe> ?

<CrowFeathe> pick up paint sample cards

<cindyc> even used it for the stitching on my lamp bb

<RubberRabb> buy your old sweaters from Goodwill or Salvation Army

<cindyc> lol crow

<CrowFeathe> come in several shades of same color

<paperpushe> GREAT WAY TO RECYCLE, TOO

<cindyc> left over from living room

<RubberRabb> go visit card places and beg for the envelopes they throw away

<RubberRabb> when they send the cards back

<BRENDA> SAVE YOUR NEWSPRINT PAPER TO USE AS BACKGROUNDS

<kat> i found that the plastic containers for Yankee Candles are just the right size for storing 2 oz. jars of embossing powder, glitter and other things. I also have my 1 oz. pearl ex in them but i put them in upside down and put velcro on the lids so they don't fall all over

<cindyc> i never got to do that one rr

<Bluebell> othing is safe out there!

<AmyLPR> you can even tie-dye tisse paper with food coouring diluted in water

<paperpushe> THE LIST IS ENDLESS

<CrowFeathe> someone on the big list said that potato chip round long boxes are good for storing rolligraph wheels

Redstick has a coupla feebies

<BRENDA> CRAYONS

<BRENDA> YES RED

RubberRabbit slaps Amy with a trout__would rather let Red get her house all messy and buy HER tissue!

<cindyc> i bought the salad dressing containers in bulk at the local warehouse supply for storing beads and ep's etc. clear lids and all

<Bluebell> good idea

<Bluebell> beads!

<paperpushe> AND DON'T FORGET FILM CANNISTERS....THEY ARE GREAT FOR BEADS AND EMBELLISHMENTS

<AmyLPR> sorry forgot

<jratz> foam from cheap stamps works like penscore

<paperpushe> LOL AMY

<Bluebell> wire and beads just wrap up

<Redstick> use bubble wrap and that waffleweave placemat stuff to stamp backgrounds

<BRENDA> LOL AMY

<enchy> and storing sewing/beading needles

<RubberRabb> I bought a fishing tackle box carrier and store all my cigar boxes of goodies in there

<enchy> they are great for that

<Keribou> Are the fibers from unraveled sweaters all kinky?

<BRENDA> OH NEAT RED

<cindyc> yes keribou

<janineafk> new there was a reason I needed to buy some cans of Pringles chips

<BRENDA> YES KERIBOU

<RubberRabb> you can get crinkly fibers wet and reblock them smooth by wrapping them around cardboard if you want straight fibers

<BRENDA> WET IT A LITTLE BIT AND WIND INTO A BALL TO DRY

<CrowFeathe> could also store rolly wheels in those long white plastic boxes one buys to store things in kitchen drawers-- could see them better

<Keribou> ok- thanks

<BRENDA> OR AROUND CARDBOARD

<cindyc> left over sponge padding for carpets are great for stamping and for standing on while you are working too

<BRENDA> I STORE MY ROLLAGRAPHS ON A BENT CLOTHES HANGER

<enchy> or if you want curly fibers wrap them around a metal knitting needle and get them wet and then put them in the over for a bit

<RubberRabb> I got those swing arm pants hangers

<CrowFeathe> great idea brenda

<BRENDA> OOOH ENCHY

<RubberRabb> and cut off the plastic coating on each 'arm'

<Bluebell> take old lace off any tattered object and keep for use

<janineafk> Ii unravelled some fibre from a sweater, rolled them into balls and put them in a steamer... they are lovely and straight now

<LiBsTeR> I take cereal box front and backs and cut into strips, then wind leftover ribbons on them

<RubberRabb> and the rollagraph wheels fit right on those arms

<BRENDA> OH NEAT RR

<RubberRabb> sort your ribbons by color and keep them in a ziplock to avoid tangling and keep them clean

<paperpushe> I LOVE THOSE TOOL BOXES THINGYS AT HOME DEPOT FOR ROLLAGRAPHS AND INK PADS

<RubberRabb> those boxes from kinkos that they put finished projects in fit perfectly into document sorters as 'drawers'

<enchy> evo

<BRENDA> HEY EVO

<enchy> hi!

<RubberRabb> you can use those 'drawers to sort out paper scraps

<paperpushe> EVO, WELCOME

<CrowFeathe> evo!!

<Keribou> Hi Evo

Redstick waves ta MsEvo

<evo> :}> heyyyyy all

<RubberRabb> hey evo

<LiBsTeR> Hi Evo!! :-)

<CrowFeathe> does kinkos sell those boxes/ drawers?

<Bluebell> hithere

<LiBsTeR> If you have kinky or wrinkled silk ribbons you can run them through a curling iron

<AmyLPR> hi evo

<cindyc> course you can mix rit dye with rubbing alcohol or denatured alcohol to use insttead of tri's or studio's

<CrowFeathe> you can color ribbon a diff. color by holding it down on a stamp pad with a plastic spoon and then pulling it

<RubberRabb> kinkos sells the boxes

<Bluebell> ,^ ^,

<RubberRabb> just ask

<RubberRabb> hadn't thought of the plastic spoon--good idea CF

<enchy> iggy and i went to a grocery supply place and bought pizza boxes that she has been storing her mounteds in

<enchy> CHEAP

<cindyc> and then there's the old bubbles with food coloring to make bubble backgrounds

<enchy> they are great

<enchy> plain white ones

<RubberRabb> if you need a tiny spoon for something you can take a plastic straw and cut it at a steep angle and that cut part makes a good 'scoop'

<evo> is this cheap tip nite?

<Redstick> you know those Mega Artbin totes? Well, a carry on wheeled luggage thing from Walmart is alot cheaper....using Ziploc throwaway plastic containers to divide it with..

<enchy> i use those for glitter

<enchy> evo glitter to be exact

<CrowFeathe> how mix rit and akahol? dry rit or already mixed with water rit? or how?

<RubberRabb> someone else I know was storing their ums in the pocketed photo holders

<paperpushe> YUP, EVO...CHEAP OR UNUSUAL THINGS TO USE IN STAMPING

<evo> K!

<RubberRabb> yes we need to hear the mixing rit with alcohol thing

<RubberRabb> please repeat

<paperpushe> I LIKE TO USE THE SMALL PHOTO ALBUMS TO STORE MY BRASS STENCILS

<enchy> oooh that is a good idea paper

<enchy> ooohhh i like that one

<enchy> ooooh

<enchy> i have to write it down

<BRENDAB> OOOH NEAT IDEA PAPER

<paperpushe> THEY ARE ONLY A BUCK AT WALLY WORLD AND HOLD A LOT

<enchy> and i think there are even a few of them empty in the enchy store room

<RubberRabb> buy one of those kiddy bookplate stamps (where they can add their own name) and throw away the bookplate but keep the alphabet

<Bluebell> what size did u say?

<RubberRabb> it's a perfect size for faux postage and small sentences

<paperpushe> JUST THE SMALL ONES, BLUE

<BRENDAB> RR WHERE ARE THOSE?

<cindyc> crow dry

<MomCat> I use a shoe bag for my colored pencils. I added ties to it and can just fold it over, tie it up an dtake it with me

<CrowFeathe> where get kiddy bookplate stamps?

<enchy> i used baseball card pages in a notebook for little unmounted stamps

<CrowFeathe> thx cindy

<cindyc> crow you can get my rit recipe here... under polished stone

<enchy> lots of times you can find those bookplate stamps marked down

<BRENDAB> OH TY RR

<enchy> i keep my alphabets in one of those multi drawer organizer things - those small ones

<RubberRabb> I store carvings in cigar boxes; beads in tubes in cigar boxes, calligraphy tools in cigar boxes

<CrowFeathe> yeah, guess that makes the most sense

<J9> ohh and don't forget pop cans... you can use them to stamp on and use like metal shim

<enchy> and then the b's

<enchy> etc

<RubberRabb> carving material in cigar boxes

<enchy> a drawer for each letter

<enchy> i've been needing to store mine better since i use them so much

<paperpushe> THANKS SO MUCH ENCHY

<BRENDAB> CAUSE I HAVE TROUBLE FINDING MINE

<CrowFeathe> never did learn how to use those programs, i think i have something called print something and one called picture something . . . i'm glad to just be able to type!

<paperpushe> LOL CROW

<MomCat> Doing graphics is much easier than typing!

<CrowFeathe> I love the idea of that blue sticky tacky mounting stuff instead of pop dots-- just bought my first pack of pop dots-- 3 bucks, yikes.

<RubberRabb> Enchy, when you store your templates in the photo albums make sure every few pages has a shirt cardboard stiffener

MomCat thinks it's hard to type with cat paws, but easy to move the mouse around.

<cindyc> gives you a second chance too crow... lol

<paperpushe> YEAH, THERE HAVE BEEN SOME GREAT IDEAS TONIGHT...THANKS TO YOU ALL!!!

<RubberRabb> so that you don't bend the templates

<enchy> thanks bunny

<RubberRabb> I use foam mounting tape instead of pop dots

<MomCat> Thank you Paper pusher and Brends
