<Janet> if you've never seen stippling, go ahead and go to the page at http://cyberstampers.com/class/stipple/ so you can see my dorky lil movie

<LiBsTeR> WOW a movie!!!

<cindyc> grin

<LiBsTeR> LOL I played it backwards

<Janet> it's a scream played backwards

<Rusty> such a rousing endorsement janet

<Janet> Rusty, go watch it. it IS dorky.

<LiBsTeR> go Janet go! watch those hands move!

<Janet> but if someone has never seen stippling it's sure easier to say watch the movie than describe how to do it

<LiBsTeR> sure is

<LiBsTeR> it is cute, Janet!

<LiBsTeR> AND a great idea

LiBsTeR wants more movies

<glitrbug> I did some stippleing after the last class. I didn't have any brushes and didn't want to wait to order some so I got basting brushes at World market for $2

<LiBsTeR> you can use shaving mug brushes too

<Janet> when i do more wirewrapping classes I guarantee there will be more movies

<LiBsTeR> woo hoo! more movies!

<Janet> if you have never stippled and don't have a brush YET go swipe the DH's tooth brush now

<Janet> he'll never know

<glitrbug> The basters were round so they worked pretty good

<LiBsTeR> ROFL

<LiBsTeR> sure, Janet

<Janet> dh's toothbrushes don't work nearly as well, but you'll get the idea of it

<cindyc> i like chico's pic

<Janet> oh but do wash the ink out of it before morning

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

<glitrbug> That wouldn't be the worst thing I used the ex's brush for

<Janet> LOL

<Rusty> well, now i know a movie star

<Janet> LOL

<Chels> Well some might think stippling the cat is kinda dorky...

<crowfafk> janet, got an off topic question-- any chance that cak could put alll the unedited not yet seen classes on the uned. page? or would that take up too much room, mebbe?

<Chels> Chelsea says cats are dorky...but then she's a dog

<Janet> OKAY AND AT THE TIME I MADE THAT MOVIE I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO EDIT THE TIMING OF THEM

<Rusty> ok i'm going to watch the screen whille i eat some cereal

<Janet> I DON'T THINK I WAS MOVING ALL THAT FAST

<Chels> Oh...she said she meant tasty

<cak> If you'll check, you'll see I'm already doing that

<Janet> THAT CAT TAIL GETS IN EVERYTHING

<MaggieB> i like you stippled the cat

<Janet> THE CAT LOVES TO BE STIPPLED

<evo> Kristi... people with arthritis or other problems, tell me the same thing

<phyl> lol

<phyl> new cat brush

<Janet> THE CAT HAS HIS OWN BIG BLUE STIPPLE BRUSH

<RubberRabb> hey have you ever used Chico's tail to stipple with?

<kristi> lol

<Janet> HE CARRIES IT AROUND

<MaggieB> lol

<phyl> mine carries everything around and hides it

<MaggieB> cats are weird characters

<MaggieB> i love mine

<RubberRabb> take after their owners

VickiNola has stippled dh

<Janet> IT IS A SCREAM TO SEE THIS CAT COMING, HE CARRIES IT BY THE BRISTLES WITH THE HANDLE DRAGGING BEHIND HIM

<MaggieB> but the dog thinks she is very weird

<phyl> lol janet

<Janet> THEN HE FLIPS IT UP ON THE BED (USUALLY HITTING ME IN THE HEAD)

<MaggieB> lol

<RubberRabb> ROFL

<cak> lol

<phyl> wake up mommie

<Janet> AND CHEWS ON THE HANDLE UNTIL I'LL STIPPLE HIS FACE

<Chels> That'll teach ya

<MaggieB> his face?

<MaggieB> likes that?

<Chels> her face

<LiBsTeR> it feels good to them

<phyl> once you start you can't stop

<LiBsTeR> Blue loves that

<Janet> HE LIKES HIS FACE STIPPLED

<phyl> what color?

<glitrbug> Funny phyl

<Chels> Does hubby get stippled too

<Cher> lol phyl!

<Janet> AND I HAD THE HARDEST TIME MAKING THE SAMPLES FOR THE CLASS PAGE, HE KEPT JUMPING UP AND STICKING HIS FACE BETWEEN THE BRUSH AND THE PAPER

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

<phyl> lol

<Rusty> lol

<phyl> use his tail next time

<VickiNola> lol

<glitrbug> I want a movie of that

<Chels> I'm scared to know what all Janet stipples

<Janet> LOL

<phyl> oh ya chels

<Janet> SO!

<glitrbug> I guess it could feel nice

<Janet> LET'S GET STARTED ON STIPPLING PAPER RATHER THAN CATS!

<phyl> ok ready

<Rusty> ah i just caught the cat

<Rusty> ok

<Janet> I LIKE STIPPLING EVERYTHING. IT LOOKS LIKE AIRBRUSHING IF YOU HAVE NOT SO MUCH INK IN THE BRUSH AND KEEP GOING OVER AND OVER YOUR AREA

VickiNola frees Rustys cat

<joyflnoyz> awww; I've got 7 cats here...

<Chels> 7 cats?!

<phyl> need seven stipple brushes

<Janet> TRY BRUSHING THEIR FACES WITH THE STIPPLE BRUSH, THEY'LL LOVE THAT

<phyl> here kitty here kitty

<Rusty> lol

<Janet> STIPPLED BACKGROUNDS ARE ABOUT THE FASTEST AND EASIEST THING YOU CAN DO

<Janet> YOU CAN JUST STIPPLE COLORS AND BLEND THEM TOGETHER

kristi must not stipple right

<Janet> STIPPLE A SUNSET

<Janet> STIPPLE AN OCEAN WAVE

<Janet> WHATEVER

<joyflnoyz> they are my dad's.. he had 3, one adopted him, when my gramze moved in 3 years ago she brought 2 and then a friend had to get ri of his, so dad took him in.

<Janet> I LIKE TO STIPPLE SKIES

<Chels> I only like an animal that goes outside to do their business and wipes their feet on the way in

<Janet> ON THE CLASS PAGE YOU CAN SEE HOW TO STIPPLE A CLOUD-FILLED SKY

<Chels> That would be a dog

<Chels> Namely Chelsea

<Rusty> stippling is great

<Janet> SO IF YOU'VE NEVER DONE A CLOUDY SKY WITH A STIPPLE BRUSH, DO IT ALONG WITH ME IN CLASS OKAY?

<Janet> GET A PAPER TOWEL

<LiBsTeR> good idea for the sky Janet, thanks!

<Janet> OR A NAPKIN

<Rusty> ok

<Janet> AND TEAR IT

<Janet> WITH YOUR FINGERS

<Janet> NOT STRAIGHT

<Janet> START AT A CORNER AND STIPPLE RIGHT ON THE TEAR OF THE TOWEL

<cak> (tear it across the grain--it'll be really wavy that way)

<Janet> TAP TAP TAP ACROSS THE TEAR

<Janet> HALF ON AND HALF OFF THE TOWEL

<phyl> wavy or round

<phyl> tears?

<Janet> HOWEVER IT TEARS, PHYL

<phyl> ok

<Janet> JUST RIP IT

phyl needs a new napkin

<Janet> AFTER YOU'VE STIPPLED ACROSS THE TEAR ONCE...

<brenda> http://cyberstampers.com/class/stipple/

<evo> Can I just stipple a cloudless sky???

<Janet> SCOOT THE TOWEL DOWN AND SHIFT THE ANGLE JUST A LITTLE

<Janet> SURE, EVO, DROP YOUR PAPER TOWEL ON THE FLOOR AND STIPPLE AWAY

<evo> ;}>

<Janet> THEN AFTER YOU'VE SCOOTED DOWN YOUR TOWEL STIPPLE ACROSS THE TEAR AGAIN

<Janet> SCOOT IT MORE, SHIFT IT AGAIN

<Janet> STIPPLE THE TEAR AGAIN

<Janet> KEEP GOING ACROSS YOUR PAGE

<Janet> INSTANT FLUFFY CLOUD SKY

<phyl> all the same colors? or light to dark

<Janet> WHATEVER APPEALS TO YOU, PHYL

<phyl> i am hard to appeal to

<Janet> OR YOU COULD EVEN DO IT ALL THE SAME COLOR THEN GO IN AND STIPPLE IN SUNRISE COLORS ON TOP OF THE CLOUDS

<phyl> coool

<Janet> BABETTE!

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

<Janet> THE PATTERNS YOU MAKE TO BEGIN WITH WILL STAY THERE AND INTENSIFY AS YOU PUT ON MORE LAYERS OF COLOR

<Janet> ANYBODY HERE DO STAMPSCAPES SCENES?

<phyl> yes

<Babette> Hello

<Chels> Mememe

<cak> I'd like to

<Janet> OKAY!

<Babette> Yes, I do ...

<RubberRabb> Hi Babette!

<glitrbug> too much like work, Janet

<Janet> JUST FOR FUN... DO YOUR STAMPSCAPES SCENES BUT INSTEAD OF THE TONAL APPLICATOR, USE A STIPPLE BRUSH, USING THE SAME COLORS

<cak> (Janet's about to make your life easier)

<Janet> IT'S A LOT FASTER WITH A STIPPLE BRUSH

<Babette> H

<Janet> A WHOLE LOT FASTER!

<Chels> I never think it turns out as well with a stipple brush

<Rusty> cool

<phyl> good idea janet

<Janet> IT TURNS OUT DIFFERENT. LOOKS MORE AIRBRUSHED

<phyl> can you get it really dark on the edges

<Janet> ONE SECRET IS TO STIPPLE ONCE ON A SCRAP PAPER BEFORE GOING ONTO YOUR PIECE

<Janet> TO GET THE INTENSE INK AND INTENSE DOTS OF THE BRUSH ON SCRAP

<Chels> Same as with the tonal app

<nikki> sure phyl, just keep stippling there

<Janet> EXACTLY THE SAME AS WHERE YOU STAMP OFF WITH THE TONAL APPLICATOR BEFORE STARTING ON YOUR PIECE

<phyl> thanks

<Janet> AND YOU CAN GET INTENSE COLOR IN THE EDGES, KEEP STIPPLING THE EDGES

<Janet> THE MORE YOU STIPPLE AN AREA, THE MORE SMOOTH THE COLOR IS, TOO

Rusty stipples,stipples ,stipples around the room with her brush

<phyl> walls, mirrors, cats

<Janet> NOW IF YOU HAVE AN AREA WHERE YOU WANTED TO SHIFT COLORS AND AREN'T PLEASED THAT YOUR COLORS DIDN'T BLEND AS SMOOTHLY AS YOU WANTED?

<Babette> Janet - do you have a preference in stipple brushes?

<evo> yes, she does!!!!!!!

<Janet> GET A CLEAN BRUSH OR ONE YOU JUST USE WITH YELLOW (SO YOU DON'T POLLUTE YOUR PAD) AND STIPPLE A LAYER OF YELLOW OVER THE BLENDING

<phyl> evo's

<joyflnoyz> My 14 y.o. just sent a card o my dad..she stippled the whole envelope, and on the card she stippled the sky..

<Janet> AND IT WILL SOFTEN THE BLEND AND SMOOTH IT OUT

<Rusty> oh good to know

<Janet> DEPENDS ON WHAT I'M STIPPLING, BABETTE.

<Babette> Do you like the round sponges with holes in them?

<evo> lol... actually the Big Blue (I think)

<Janet> USUALLY I'M STIPPLING LARGE AREAS AND THE BIG BLUE BRUSH FROM EVOLVING IMAGES IS THE ONE I GRAB

<brenda> you made it snow

<phyl> when chico dosen't have it

<joyflnoyz> I have a separate brush for each color family.. stop "browning"

<Janet> IF I'M GOING TO BE STIPPLING SMALL AREAS OR TRY TO GET THE COLOR PLACED MORE EXACTLY

<evo> (whew! evo wuz right.)

<Babette> But of course, Evo ... duh ... you demo'd in their booth at Grapevine.

<Janet> I GRAB THE SMALLER #2 BRUSH THAT I THINK I GOT FROM APPALOOSA

<Janet> I HAVE SOME HERE FROM TOYBOX TOO

<phyl> how about the color dusters?

<Janet> BUT THE BIG BIG BLUE BRUSHES FROM EVO ARE THE ONES I GRAB MOST, BECAUSE I AM TRULY LAZY TO THE BONE AND THE BIG ONES COVER FASTER

<Janet> THOSE LITTLE ONES?

<phyl> yes

<Rusty> i like the color dusters

<deb> big blue is easier to hang on to

<Janet> THOSE I HAVE TROUBLE WITH. I THINK MY HAND LIKES GRIPPING A BIG HANDLE BETTER

<evo> I haven't tried the dusters yet...

deb has both

<phyl> ok thanks

<Janet> BUT I THINK THOSE LITTLE DUSTERS WOULD BE REALLY GOOD FOR GOING INTO SMALL AREAS

<kaye> i love the little ones

<RubberRabb> I like the big blue the best

<kaye> much cheaper too

<RubberRabb> easiest to hold onto

Rusty uses her dusters for her cheeks sometimes

<Janet> IT'S ALL PERSONAL PREFERENCE I THINK

<Janet> I LIKE BIG

<glitrbug> I need some blues

<kaye> yes

<RubberRabb> I have all of them

<kristi> I need big blue too

<RubberRabb> but like the big blue the best

<kaye> i don't like big brushes

<Janet> I HAVE A LOT! OF STIPPLE BRUSHES

<Babette> how many colors of brushes do you recommend, Janet?

<Janet> IT'S THAT LAZY THING, I DON'T LIKE TO WASH THEM.

<RubberRabb> use the little dusters for radiant pearls

<Chels> Me too

<kaye> i even like the kids paint brushes

<cindyc> blues are wonderful

<phyl> i hear that janet

<Rusty> 'cause they were on special, right?

<Chels> I never wash the things

<RubberRabb> save the nice big blues for everyday stippling

<Chels> Why would you want to do that?

<Rusty> i wipe mine on baby wipes

<Janet> I HAVE EIGHT BRUSHES MINIMUM WELL YEAH, CUZ THERE WAS A SPECIAL PRICE ON THE EIGHT OF THEM

<Janet> I HAVE ONE BRUSH FOR EACH COLOR FAMILY SO I NEVER HAVE TO WASH THEM

<Babette> One for yellows ... one for reds ... one for greens, etc.???

<Rusty> then use the wipes as paper when they are dry

<Janet> AND ONE BRUSH THAT'S JUST FOR YELLOW

<Chels> Much more sensible than washin

<Janet> YELLOW BRUSH, REDS/ORANGES, BLUES, GREENS, BROWNS AND MUDDY COLORS, UHHH PURPLES

<Babette> Tell me what color families you use .... please?

<Janet> ONE THAT'S CHICO'S

<Natalie> thanks for the tip on having brushes for each group

<kaye> cats love brushes

<Janet> THESE AREN'T EXPENSIVE AND I DO HAVE A BIG JAR OF A LOT OF THEM AND JUST GRAB THE COLOR FAMILY BRUSH AS I CHANGE COLORS

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

<kaye> steal mine all the time

<Janet> I LOVE MAKING BACKGROUNDS WITH THESE

<Chels> I have about 20...cause I'm not so good at color families

<Chels> LOL

<Janet> OR USING THE TEMPLATES

<Rusty> oh me too

<phyl> what ink pads do you use janet?

<kaye> you can stipple onto your stamps too

<Rusty> they are great and fast

<Janet> OR CUTTING TEMPLATES OF MY OWN (USING TEMPLATES TO CUT MY TEMPLATES OF COURSE)

<kaye> the bold ones look cool with this tech

<Janet> I USE EVERYTHING WITH STIPPLE BRUSHES

<Janet> YOU CAN STIPPLE PAINT

<Janet> YOU CAN STIPPLE INK

<Janet> YOU CAN STIPPLE THOSE RUB-ONS

<Rusty> lumieres make the greatest backgrounds

<Janet> STIPPLED LUMIERES ARE AWESOME

<Chels> Yeah, yeah...we know...and you can stipple cats

<Rusty> and radiant pearls

<Janet> BUT YOU DO HAVE TO WASH THE BRUSH AFTER THOSE

<cindyc> and chalks

<kaye> lumieres are just awesome

<Janet> CHALKS STIPPLE GREAT!!

<phyl> just pounce on the chalk?

<Janet> ANY INK WILL STIPPLE

<phyl> or rub?

<Janet> JUST POUNCE ON THE CHALK THEN POUNCE ON THE PAPER

<Rusty> i'm telling you ...baby wipes and then use the dried wipe for backgrou nd

<VickiNola> oooo,never thought of chalks!

<phyl> coool

<Rusty> they look wonderful

<cak> do you have to more careful about the amount of paint on the brush compared to the ink pads?

<cindyc> rub into brush, stipple and or swipe for dif. effects

<Janet> RUSTY I ALWAYS DO. MY BABY WIPES AFTER CLEANING STAMPS (ON THE RARE OCCASIONS I CLEAN MY STAMPS) ARE MY BEST LAYERING PAPERS

<Rusty> mine too

<Rusty> i like the feathery lool

<Rusty> look

<kristi> I haven't found any w/o baby things embossed into them

<Janet> CAK, I TAP OFF ONCE ON SCRAP THEN STIPPLE THE LUMIERE OR ACRYLICS

<joyflnoyz> chalks need to be sealed?

<Janet> MAKES THE BEST PATTERNS

<Janet> CHALKS WILL NEED TO BE SEALED WHEN YOU'RE DONE OR THEY'LL WIPE OFF

<Janet> YOU CAN MAKE STIPPLED PATTERNS OUT OF ANYTHING

<phyl> janet have you stippled with the evo templates in the graduating sizes?

<glitrbug> chalks sound pretty. Will have to try that

<Janet> ON THE CLASS PAGE THERE'S A PISTACHIO BAG

<Janet> I LOVE EVO TEMPLATES FOR STIPPLING!!!

<Janet> THAT FLOWER ON THE CLASS PAGE IS THE HEART

<phyl> can't get the hang of how she does that

<Janet> (LOOK ON THE EVOLVING IMAGE SITE FOR MORE AND BETTER EXAMPLES OF THAT)

<phyl> thanks

<Janet> PHYL, TAKE A TEMPLATE AND STIPPLE AROUND IT, THEN SHIFT IT TO ANOTHER LOCATION ON YOUR PAPER AND STIPPLE AROUND IT AGAIN

rabbitsmom loves the leaves !

<Janet> OR DO THIS!

<glitrbug> I love the EVO 3-d flowers. Need to get those too!!!

<Janet> TAKE A SHEET OF SCRAP PAPER AND STIPPLE IT, MOVING IT ABOUT A QUARTER INCH DOWN THE PAGE EACH TIME

<Janet> THEN TURN YOUR WORK THE OTHER DIRECTION AND MAKE LIKE PLAIDS

<Janet> BUT WHEN YOU'RE DONE IT LOOKS LIKE A PUFFY QUILT

<Rusty> oohoooh neat

<Janet> IT'S JUST AWESOME

<phyl> the ovals? in graduating suzes?

<phyl> start with small or big?

<Janet> TRY STIPPLING AROUND THE OVALS

<RubberRabb> doesn't matter phyl

<evo> either, Phyl...

<glitrbug> Suze is finally graduating?

<Janet> PHYL EITHER DIRECTION

<evo> Suze graduated????????

<phyl> dang i can't get that

<phyl> evo come here and teach me

<phyl> or janet

<Janet> YOU GET A DIFFERENT LOOK DEPENDING ON IF YOU START SMALL AND GO BIG, OR START BIG AND GO SMALL

<Janet> DO BOTH AND SEE WHICH YOU LIKE

<evo> Where do you live, Phyl?

<phyl> nevada

<evo> hmmmmmm Reno?

<phyl> what a plane ticket

<phyl> vegas

<glitrbug> I like to leave it lighter in the middle for the point of interest stamp

<Chels> Evo does Vegas

<Janet> BATTENBURG? LACE STIPPLES WONDERFULLY WELL

<evo> I'll give you a private lesson, Phyl... at the booth, OK?

<phyl> neat thanks evo

<deb> you know what I meant

<Chels> Do 2 negatives make a postive?

<phyl> yup chels

<Chels> Actually Dallas was fun...that's where I meant Shannon & the wild TX stampers

<phyl> what a woman

<evo> Joyfl...NO. Didn't get in :{/

<Janet> CLASS IS TOO QUIET AND WELL BEHAVED. TIME FOR YOU TO TEACH ME. WHAT IS THE BEST COOLEST THING YOU'VE STIPPLED AROUND?

<LiBsTeR> feather

<phyl> my hand

<cak> I wannna know why phyl is frustrated!

<Janet> TELL ME ABOUT THE FEATHER?

<deb> post it notes

<joyflnoyz> my kid's hand

<Janet> (THEN ABOUT YOUR HAND TOO)

<phyl> can't get the evo thing

<kristi> homemade snowflakes

<LiBsTeR> just put it down with temp glue stick, and stippled in blue and purple around it

<Chels> You mean there's somethin cooler than Evo templates to stipple around?!

<Janet> OH! THAT DEBBIE HARRELL CARD ON THE CLASS PAGE THAT IS SO AWESOME? SHE SAID SHE STIPPLED AROUND POST IT NOTES FOR HTAT

<phyl> after stippling hand you can add the southwest stamps inside it

<RubberRabb> lace doilies

VickiNola throws Rusty the duct tape

<Babette> A Muslin Art Doll

Rusty holds on to chair with both hands

Rusty catches tape in teeth

<paperpushe> ty evo

<RubberRabb> what about stippling around a mask

<Janet> OOO THAT WOULD BE COOL

<glitrbug> I will tape you rusty

<phyl> mardi gras mask?

<RubberRabb> and then removing the mask and stamping the stamp that goes with the mask

<Janet> THAT SOUNDS SO COOL

<Rusty> thanks glitr

<RubberRabb> wouldn't matter if you got it all lined up

<deb> no a cut out mask phyl

<Rusty> I think?

<Janet> OH KEWL. I BET THAT TURNED OUT AWESOME

Chels thinks there's somethin a little bit kinky about these folks & their duct tape

VickiNola has Mardi Gras masks

<deb> like when you mask to layer things

<RubberRabb> it would be a reverse shadow stamp

<phyl> yes deb

<Babette> How about stippling around the edges of a shadow stamp?

<Rusty> lol

<Janet> OOOO THAT WOULD BE VERY COOL

<glitrbug> Ya think? chels?

<Natalie> i have some masks

<Natalie> nice idea

<Chels> LOL

<phyl> stippling on shadow stamp

<deb> stipple on the stamp

<glitrbug> That would give you a different look

<glitrbug> Good idea

<Janet> TELL ME ABOUT STIPPLING ON THE STAMP, I'VE NEVER DONE THAT

<phyl> saw it done with a solid pear

<deb> you just stipple either ink or radiant pearls

<deb> or paint

<kristi> i've stippled rps onto a stamp

<deb> on to the stamp

<deb> and stamp with it

<phyl> was done in peach, yellow, wonderful

<deb> you can mist with water

<Babette> Stipple with Radient Pearls on the Shadow stamp, Janet

<joyflnoyz> .

<deb> or alcohol

<joyflnoyz> --

<deb> like brenda did in one of hose classes

<phyl> shaded in edges darker

<Babette> we are all saying the same thing ... hahahaha

<deb> we are GOOD

<deb> lol

<VickiNola> hose class?

<phyl> great minds

<deb> those

<cak> I wonder if it would appear different if you put ink/paint on your stamp and then stippled some *off* the stamp?

<Babette> You could 'twist

<deb> you could stamp that s tamp with another stamp

<deb> to take some off

<Babette> 'twist' the color off

<phyl> or stipples on took ink off with another stamp of a design

<phyl> yes deb

<Janet> OOOOO

<cak> the twisting would give you nice swirls?

<Janet> MAKE TEXTURE BY STIPPLING INK =OFF=

<Janet> MY MIND IS SPINNING NOW

<Babette> How about stippling the shape of another stipple brush... <grin>

<joyflnoyz> hoses, duct tape, twisting... hmmmm

<evo> Neaat idea, cak!

<cak> lol

<Janet> OR TEMPLATES

<Janet> OR STRIPES ON THE STAMP USING TEMPLATES

<VickiNola> heehee

<phyl> yes good idea janet

<Janet> I'M SLOW BUT I GET THERE :)

<phyl> lol

<Rusty> lol

<Babette> Remember before stipple brushes we used those round 'holey' sponges?

<phyl> put lace on stamp stipple through lace

<Janet> EVO? YOU'RE HERE. TELL US ABOUT THE SIZES AND PRICES OF STIPPLES FOR ME CUZ I CAN'T REMEMBER?

<Babette> They worked really fine.

<Janet> OOO YEAH

Rusty plods along behind janet

<evo> K...

LiBsTeR sets in the corner, rocking back and forth

<Babette> As Evo goes and digs up a price sheet

<evo> Big Blue, the most popular... $3.25 each or 6/$18

<Janet> (GET THE SIX FOR $18)

<Babette> oh yeah ...

<phyl> cheaper by the dozen?

Rusty hides head under pillow, wind is really loud

<evo> #4 regular stippler... $3 #2 regular stippler..$2.75...

<brenda> yep cause youy need them all

<VickiNola> Libster is being Too quite, she's up to something
