<Duchess> SO WE ARE GOING TO "AGE" THE DOMINOES TO GO WITH THE VINTAGE LOOK

<paperpusher> yippie

<cak> cool

<Elena> yes, got the issue today, I am in WA

<Duchess> I USED FRESCO INKS

<Duchess> FOR THE AGING PROCESS

<Duchess> TUSCAN EARTH

<Duchess> PARCHMENT GOLD

<Duchess> SICILIAN SPICE

<Duchess> AMARETTO TRUFFLE

<stampsmith> http://stampsmith.net/id88.htm

<Duchess> AND DOCUMENT BLACK TO STAMP THE IMAGE

<cak> Duchess, did you prime the surface of the domino? And what kind of dominos do you use--wood or plastic?

<Char> There you go again....no WONDER your stuff always looks "Good enough to eat!"

<Duchess> I AM USING PLASTIC DOMINOES WITH NO PRIMING

<Duchess> LOL

<Elena> Document black -- is it fresco too?

<cak> now that's good news

<Duchess> NO, DOCUMENT BLACK IS A PERMANENT BLACK INK

<Mary_ray> my dominoes have impressions on them sorta

<Duchess> BY STEWART SUPERIOR

<Frances> Have I missed a lot?

<stampsmith> is it stinky - the document ink?

<Elena> thanks

<cak> made by Ranger?

<Duchess> NOT REALLY STINKY

<stampsmith> http://stampsmith.net/id88.htm

<Mary_ray> what is it about document ink (I have a pad - but don't know why I got it)

<brenda> i love document

<Frances> aging the white ones?

<Duchess> NOW, TAKE YOUR WHITE PLASTIC DOMINO AND TOUCH TO THE FRESCO PAD TO GET SOME INK

<Duchess> ON THE DOMINO

<Duchess> YOU ONLY NEED A SMALL AMOUNT OF INK

<Mary_ray> there are white plastic dominoes?

<Duchess> YOU ARE GOING TO RUB THAT INK INTO THE SURFACE OF THE DOMINO

<Frances> yes, Mary ray

<stampsmith> mary ray, yes, there are white and beige palstic ones.

<Duchess> REMEMBER, YOU ARE ANTIQUING, NOT COLORING....

<stamprat> beige???

<Duchess> SO YOU WANT A THIN LAYER

<stampsmith> off white...

<Duchess> NOT GLOPPY AND THICK

<StamPris> Use your fingers to rub it in or sponge?

<stampsmith> hi yvonne!

<Duchess> YOU CAN USE OFF WHITE, WHITE OR IVORY DOMINOES

<Duchess> FINGERS

<StamPris> thx

<debbies> does the fresco color the domino...and not come off

<Duchess> YES, YOUR FINGERS HAVE TO GET DIRTY!!!!

<Duchess> LOL

<stempelgek> hi!

<cak> lol

<brenda> dirty fingers mean fun

<Frances> Hi Lib

<LiBsTeR> Hey Fran

<LiBsTeR> made it

<Frances> good

<stampsmith> http://stampsmith.net/id88.htm

<Duchess> YES, AFTER YOU HAVE RUBBED THE COLOR INTO THE TOP & SIDES....

<LiBsTeR> I almost forgot!!

<Duchess> YOU NEED TO HEAT SET THE COLOR

<stamprsue> I've found if you heat set Fresco on the domino to make it permanent.

<beanjean1> hi lib!

<debbies> thanks

<LiBsTeR> BJ!!!

<phyl> how long do you heat set?

<cak> Duchess, do you use just one color per domino or do a kinda mottled look?

<Duchess> NOW, YOUR DOMINO LOOKS AGED AND YOU ARE READY TO STAMP.

<Duchess> CAK, EITHER WAY

<Duchess> I'VE DONE SOME MARBLED BACKGROUNDS

<Duchess> BUT WITH THE PHOTOSTAMPS, YOU SEE VERY LITTLE OF THE PATTERN

<cak> how?!!? with the shaving cream trick?

<Duchess> NOPE, FINGERS!

<Duchess> I LOVE FINGERS

<phyl> talented fingers

<cak> cool (sorry to lead you off track, but I had to know)

<cak> you just heat it til dry, then it's set?

<Duchess> NO, IT'S OK - PLEASE ASK IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND

<Duchess> I'VE NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE -LOL

<Char> I like fingers too. It's a craft tool I stand a chance of FINDING! And I don't have to go out and buy the latest version!

<cak> lol

<Kanga> lol

<Frances> LOL Char

<debbies> LOL

<phyl> i hear that char

<Duchess> YES,CAK, IT WILL BE VERY MATTE LOOKING

<Duchess> NOW, YOU WANT TO CHOOSE YOUR IMAGE

<phyl> decisions, decisions

<Duchess> (AND AT STAMPSMITH YOU HAVE SOOOO MANY LOVELY ONES TO CHOOSE)

<Duchess> EVERYONE WITH ME?

<Elena> yes

<brenda> yep

<phyl> yup

<Kanga> yes

<debbies> yes

<StamPris> yep

<Rusty> yes

<Duchess> GOOD!

<labelle> so far

<cak> yep! especially on the Stampsmith images

<mj> y

<StamPris> surface prolly looks kinda chalky right?

<stampsmith> aw linda, you're a pal! time to remind people you can all take 10% off your stampsmith purchase of today or tomorrow, just tell me you were in this class.

<Karen> are you using a larger domino for SS images?

<Rusty> oooh estelle, you're the best

<Duchess> NOW, USE THE DOCUMENT BLACK TO INK YOUR IMAGE....

<Duchess> YES, PRIS

<StamPris> thx

<phyl> do you sell the dominoes?

<stampsmith> i've been selling them at stamp shows...

<Mary_ray> why the document black (just curious) as opposed to craft ink or zim or brilliance

<stamprat> Wal-Mart sells dominoes

<phyl> thanks stamprat

<debbies> do you make pins from the finished domimos

<stampsmith> pins, YES!!!

<phyl> would any permanent black ink work on this

<LindaR> fridge magnets too

<Rusty> i use them on cd necklaces

<Char> Wouldn't they make lovely handles on the tops of collaged boxes?

<phyl> good idea char

<stamprsue> Duchess I've had good luck with Luminere paints on the dominoes. Have you tried that paint?

<LiBsTeR> They are great for cigar boxes, and assemblage, you can custom make them to match

<stampsmith> oh char, that's marvelous!!

<stamprsue> ooops we lost Duchess

<Char> What is a (Ping timeout)?

<stampsmith> uh oh, we lost our fearless leader!

<LindaR> communications failure

<phyl> she is playing ping pong

<brenda> she will be bak

<stampsmith> i think the ping timeout is when your computer just does that...

<Kanga> wb

<stamprat> yay she's back

<no-vicki> sort of a power surge somewhere

<stampsmith> whew, linda clone 2!!

<LindaR> hi beau!

<Rusty> wrong

<DUCHESS2> YIKES!!

<DUCHESS2> MY SERVER DISCONNECTED ME

<StudioB> howdy

<Becky> Glad you are back

<DUCHESS2> ME TOO

<Elena> welcome back

<Char> Computers are certainly a mixed blessing!

<debbies> would memories...ink work to color the domino...then heat set it

<StamPris> stupid server!

<Rusty> sorry elena....hit the wrong button

<DUCHESS2> OK, WE'VE GOT AN INKED UP ISTAMPSMITH IMAGE

<phyl> thaks debbie

<Rusty> sloppy fingers

<Char> Sorry for a dumb question....but how do you heat set without melting the plastic domino?

<DUCHESS2> SOME mEMORIES INKS WORK OK....

<lynn> Duchess Where can you get the Document black and does it wrk on acetate?

<DUCHESS2> BUT REGULAR DYE INKS DON'T WORK WELL

<phyl> goood question char

<brenda> document works great on acetate

<debbies> what about ancient page ink

<stampsmith> char, those babies are thick and can take a bit of heat setting. i've seen linda in action!

<cak> that's not a dumb question Char

<DUCHESS2> IT DOESN'T MELT CHAR

<lynn> ty:)

<StamPris> Oh yeah, it will NOT melt, believe me....LOL

<DUCHESS2> BELIEVE ME, I'VE DONE A MILLION OF'EM

<LindaR> but they can get #!@$$!! hot

<phyl> lol

<Rusty> lol

<StamPris> ohhh yeahh.....linda

<DUCHESS2> YES, THEY GET HOT SO WAIT A BIT

<phyl> watch those little digits

<phyllis> I've used Zim and Brilliance- work pretty well.

<Char> stampsmith....You KNOW I envy you. You know Linda up close and personal....and I'm relegated to cyberspace only > (

<DUCHESS2> NOW YOU WANT TO POSITION THE DOMINO OVER THE PART OF THE IMAGE.....

<phyl> Hi phyllis

<DUCHESS2> THAT YOU WANT TO STAMP

<stampsmith> char, smiley face emoticon to you, i am a lucky goil!

<DUCHESS2> AND PLACE IT STRAIGHT DOWN ON TO THE STAMP

<Char> Agreed!

<LindaR> so you put the domino to the stamp, not the stamp on the domino?

<stampsmith> right, linda r- this is a great way to get small images precisely where you want!

<phyllis> Hi, Phyl;)

<Karen> thats how i do it!

<DUCHESS2> YES, LINDAR

<phyl> lol

<phyl> looks funny seeing my name here

<DUCHESS2> THIS GIVES MORE ACCURATE PLACEMENT AND YOU ARE LESS LIKELY TO BLUR THE IMAGE

<Karen> did not work w/ancient page inks

<LindaR> good idea, I always seem to miss and cut off noses, etc

<stampsmith> wow, karen, our real-time tester, thanks!

<StamPris> rofl linda....might be a blessing on some images...>>;-}

<stamprsue> I agree with Karen, I haven't had good luck with ancient page on the dominoes.

<DUCHESS2> NOW, GRASP YOUR DOMINO ON THE SIDES AND PULL STRAIGHT UP...

<lynn> Dutchess how do you clean your stamps with the permament ink?

<Karen> had great luck w/alcohol inks

<DUCHESS2> TO PREVENT BLURRING

<DUCHESS2> THERE CAN BE A SMALL AMOUNT OF SUCTION SO HOLD ON TO THE STAMP

<StudioB> I b OK, but I've missed you too! how do people spend so much time online and still make art -- thass what I wanna know!??

<StamPris> prolly all in one motion or it'll blurr, right? =)

<DUCHESS2> RIGHT PRIS

<StamPris> =)

<DUCHESS2> NOW YOU OOOH AND AHHH OVER YOUR SUCCESS.....

<DUCHESS2> AND HEAT SET THE IMAGE

<Mary_ray> when you're as old as I am, it's hard to prevent blurring PERIOD

<DUCHESS2> LOL MARY

<Char> Or the rest of us ohhh and ahhh over YOURS!

<stampsmith> so, duchess> fresco smush, heat, stamp in document and heat. sounds easy.

<DUCHESS2> I HAD ALLKINDS OF PEOPLE DO THIS IN SPRINGFIELD AND THERE WERE VERY FEW MISTAKES

<Karen> i've also decoupaged prints over the domino and surrounded w/beads-cool effect!

<DUCHESS2> IT IS VERY EASY ESTELLE

<Rusty> so to the point estelle....lol

<Mary_ray> how long does this process take? 2 minutes?

<StamPris> they are real smart up there....LOL

<stampsmith> the only "mistakes" were when folks used too much fresco and it made too thick a background, right?

<debbies> Oh karen that sounds pretty

<debbies> i love to decoupage

<DUCHESS2> WITH THE HEAT SET, ABOUT 5 MINUTES

<DUCHESS2> THAT'S WHY YOU CAN DO SO MANY -LOL

<Karen> yup-they are quick and easy to make!

<lynn> where can you purchase the document inks

<DUCHESS2> RIGHT ESTELLE, SO I STARTED TO CHECK THEM

<debbies> so i could use tissue paper...decoupaged onto domino...and then stamp with doc. ink

<StamPris> kewl, I love quick and easy...=)

<phyllis> I've done the same sponges on Lumieres-also dries fast and almost impossible to make a mistake

<Mary_ray> are the white dominos at Walmart completely smooth on one side?

<DUCHESS2> EVOLVING IMAGES SELLS IT

<stamprsue> Evolving Images sells document ink

<DUCHESS2> YES MARY

<stampsmith> yes mary ray

<debbies> yes...mary

<Wanda> Stamp Zia also sells document ink

<April> yes..mary!

<lynn> do they have a web site?

<DUCHESS2> ANY QUESTIONS

<stamprsue> I've also used Silks from Stampa Rosa on the dominoes.

<lynn> ty

<debbies> mary go to wal mart...right now...buy dominos go home and stamp

<StamPris> nope that was wayy too easy....LOL

<stampsmith> i've seen krylon gold around the sides of the dominos - yes?

<DUCHESS2> YES, YOU CAN USE ALL KINDS OF THINGS....

<April> ITS FUN!

<Rusty> yes, could you make some for us?

<DUCHESS2> BUT i CHOSE THE FRESCOES BECAUSE

<stamprsue> yes, estelle

<Mary_ray> I better not go to walmart now. I'm on my 2nd beer

<DUCHESS2> OF THEIR ANTIQUE LOOK

<stampsmith> and the pin backs - do they need a good adhesive like e6000 to hold them on?

<cak> lol Rusty--nice try

<debbies> LOL

<DUCHESS2> YES ESTELLE

<madkapkid> I love the look of the fresoes...

<StamPris> yup..big dominoes are heavy

<madkapkid> and they are very user friendly

<Char> Gosh Linda, you made it seem simple enough for me to try! Maybe AFTER, I'll have questions, depending on how closely I paid attention and followed your directions.

<April> have one for me Mary Ray!

<Elena> do you decorate the sides somehow???

<stampsmith> i'm told the brilliance are good too and you can wipe it off if you don't like it before heat setting.

<beanjean1> I think I need fresco ink now

<phyl> how would you mail one of these? in a box?

<Mary_ray> if I can tolerate another, I will April

<phyllis> Just wondering, what about those alphbet stamps I got from Estelle...

<Rusty> well,cak, if you don't ask you don't get....lol

<phyl> like if you wanted to put it on a card

<stamprsue> YEs, Brilliance work well

<StamPris> Did ya'll seal them with anything?

<DUCHESS2> ELENA, YOU CAN STAMP THE SIDE USING THE SAME PROCEDURE

<stampsmith> phyl, you could just roll it in bubble wrap and then send in a box or padded mailer.

<Elena> oh, thanks

<Mary_ray> what do you do to the back of the domino?

<phyl> thanks

<stamprsue> I've sealed with diamond glaze

<debbies> what do you glue the pin back on with...what works best

<DUCHESS2> I HAVE SEALED MINE WITH KRYLON AND

<DUCHESS2> DIAMOND GLAZE

<debbies> can I use plaid dimensional magic to seal with

<stamprsue> I like to leave the domino on the back.

<DUCHESS2> E6000

<StamPris> ok.......ty

<phyl> i have one someone sent with beads around the edges

<madkapkid> I sprayed with Krylon.....worked super...and then diamond glazed...

<stamprat> I've used dimensional magic with good results, Debbie

<Elena> neat, Phyl

<phyllis> Some people have sealed with FFF- future floor finish- an excuse not to use it on the floor:)

<debbies> great...I have that....

<phyl> lol phyllis

<anno> we need to find someone to give us a good price on those fresco pads..

<phyl> any excuese is good

<DUCHESS2> YOU CAN GO FOR ALL KINDS OF LOOKS, BUT WHAT I DESCRIBED TONIGHT....

<stamprat> I did some sponging on Frescoes and then spraying with Future

<StamPris> FFF will dissolve some inks that aren't permanent.

<stamprat> made a cool mottled effect

<DUCHESS2> IS FOR A VINTAGE LOOK - NOT GLITZY

<stamprsue> Duchess have you used Luminere paints? they work well, also

<debbies> would the antiquities from ranger work like the frescos

<Kristin> any url?

<DUCHESS2> YES, I HAVE USED LUMIERES FOR A VERY DIFFERENT LOOK.

<stampsmith> stamprsue do you heat set the lumiere or let dry overnight or wha?

<phyl> congrats duchess we are 51 stampers strong

<DUCHESS2> THE GOLD LUMIERE WORKS BEAUTIFULLY WITH ESTELLE'S "BLESSED ARE..." PLATE

<StamPris> Lumiere dries quick no need to let them sit for long

<stamprsue> Just let them dry for about 20 minutes then I've stamped image with Brilliance Black.

<DUCHESS2> THANKS PHYL!

<phyllis> Estelle- I've done either- the Lumieres dry quickly.

<Karen> Linda-did you use a larger domino for the ones on the SS website?

<stampsmith> and then heatset the brilliance sue?

<DUCHESS2> KAREN, REGULAR WAL-MART DOMINOES

<phyl> how much are the dominoe sets?

<Char> You are confusing me! I see Duchess2 and LindaR--will the REAL Linda Reid please stand up?

<Mary_ray> and obviously extremely detailed photo type images work well on the dominoes

<stamprsue> No usually just let it air dry, estelle.

<stampsmith> thanks!

<Rusty> and they come in a really cool box

<DUCHESS2> LINDAR IS SOMEONE ELSE -LOL

<DUCHESS2> THAT'S WHY I USE DUCHESS

<debbies> regular size at wal mart was 3.97 and mini ones were 1.99

<stampsmith> no, you're really just an egomaniac with a split personality, admit it!

<DUCHESS2> THANKS DEBBIES

<phyl> thanks debbies

<Mary_ray> how many in a box, debbie?

<DUCHESS2> HEE HEE

<StamPris> WM has the best price on dominos,multiple options as to number in the box.

<debbies> you are gonna make me get up and go see aint ya

<DUCHESS2> THE SETS RANGE FROM 28 TO 136

<DUCHESS2> IN A BOX

<mj> got mine at the $ store...28 for 2.99

<brenda> dollar general has 26 large ones for 3.00

<stampsmith> you can make great gifts for very little moolah this way!

<phyl> 136? in a box oooo way cool

<StudioB> then there's always ebay . .

<Mary_ray> really!

<Char> What is the game that uses triangle shaped dominos? Wouldn't they be interesting?

<dbstampin> sorry late . . . darn 'puter

<stamprat> found small ones at dollar stores for 1.00 for 28

<DUCHESS2> TRIOMINOES

<phyllis> Trianimos

<stampsmith> another byproduct here: by stamping just a part of your stamp you're using it in a new way, seeing it in a diff. light.

<TheQueen> trionimos

<brenda> haven't seen those

<StamPris> Ohhh, triominoes would be kewl!

<Mary_ray> did you say what you do to the back of the dominoes? just leave the back alone?

<phyl> ah good one star

<stampsmith> mary ray, you can just glue a pin back on but that's it, i believe.

<DUCHESS2> YES ESTELLE - THE FACES CAN LOOK COMPLETELY DIFFERENT...

<Rusty> the domino industry must be wondering what's going on

beanjean1 just PLAYED Triominoes TODAY!

<DUCHESS2> WHEN JUST THE FACE APPEARS ON THE DOMINO

<stamprsue> I do, Mary

<StamPris> lOL rusty

<brenda> roflol rusty

<debbies> somewhere between 28 and 36 dominos

<stampsmith> yeah, just like the tag industry before it rusty!

<Rusty> lol

<Elena> lol, Rusty

<Char> Did anybody think to buy domino stock when this craze started?

<Mary_ray> well, I guess a SIGNATURE would be best on the back. ;-)

<DUCHESS2> YES, WE ARE KEEPING THE ECONOMY ROLLING -LOL

<Rusty> next thing you know we'll be using gaskets or washers

<phyllis> Bottle caps

<StudioB> i've been using washers on tags for ages!

<StamPris> already do rusty!

<Karen> what every day object will be the next rage?

<Mary_ray> I have tons and tons of bottle caps. What should I do with them????

<madkapkid> finding the tile triominoes is NOT easy...

<DUCHESS2> THE DOMINOES CAN BE USED AS CARD & COLLAGE EMBELLISHMENTS....

<StudioB> make earrings

<stamprsue> Even watch parts to my cards and tags.

<debbies> well its good to know...that those domino dotters are employed because of our addiction

<Char> Gasget and washers...NEXT thing? I thought they were "starter stamps."

<DUCHESS2> BOX EMBELLISHMENTS

<stampsmith> so duchess, what about all the other inks we have> memories, etc. have you experimented with many?

<madkapkid> great pins and magnets

<Rusty> lol debbies

<stamprat> so I shoulda bought the Triminoes set I saw at the yard sale recently, huh

<DUCHESS2> I HAVE TRIED ADIRONDACKS ( MY FAVS) AND THEY DO NOT WORK

<Rusty> i have a set upstairs somewhere

<LindaR> you can drill them with a dremel and make pendants or bracelets

<debbies> i know that dr ph martins calligraphy inks work

<stamprsue> Just make sure the tridominoes are the hard plastic and not the cardboard ones.

<DUCHESS2> BRILLIANCE WORKS

<Mary_ray> how much is a dremel?????

<anno> tongue depressers.. that's gonna be the next thing.

<StamPris> what happened duchess w/adriondaks

anno predicts.

<DUCHESS2> ANNO, DONE THAT

<anno> ok.. then..

<anno> lemme think a bit more..

<DUCHESS2> THEY DID NOT STAY PERMANENT PRIS

<Rusty> everyone will have a run on the doctor's offices!

<stamprsue> tongue depressers make great dolls.

<StamPris> =(((

<stamprat> I made a cool necklace with graduated sizes of dominoes (large, small, and smaller)

<phyllis> Mary Kay, that's awhole nother ballgame- all sorts of attachments- not JUST a dremel.LOL

<DUCHESS2> THE COLOR RUBBED OFF

<StamPris> That is such a bummer....=(

<stampsmith> stamprat, how did you get holes through the dominoes - duchess, tell them about your necklace!!

<Mary_ray> it is a dream of mine to start a new stamping craze

<anno> wooden spoons?

<StudioB> anno -- how bout panty liners?

<phyl> plastic plates?

<Kanga> lol

<StamPris> for dolls anno?

<stamprat> held 'em in a vise (protected sides) and used my Dremel from side to side

<DUCHESS2> i MADE A NECKLACE FROM A LARGE DOMINO AND 6 SMALLER ONES - DRILLED HOLES WITH A DREMEL

<Char> Where can you get wooden spoons these days? Particularly the small ones!

<anno> they do make good dolls, actually, the spoons..

<phyl> house to home

<debbies> dollar store char

<DUCHESS2> LOL BEAU

<stampsmith> char - the ice cream trucks!

<Karen> i have some dollhouse wooden roof shingles-stampable??

<Mary_ray> but really, without all the attachments I'll have to have (eventually), how much is a dremel

<phyllis> phyl, I've seen strofoam plates sponges with Brillaince and heated

<StamPris> dollar store char

ary_ray has been wanting a dremel for some reason

<DUCHESS2> KAREN, WHY NOT???

<phyl> neat phyllis

<Karen> cool!

<Rusty> i love my dremel maryray

<stamprat> Mary Ray--$70 or $80 or so

<Mary_ray> yikes!

<stamprsue> Had fun but have to go. Thank you Duchess and Estelle.

<Char> Gosh....there is an ice cream truck by here every day....and I'm trying desperately not to become his best customer!

<stamprat> There may be cheaper versions, tho

<debbies> they be spensive mary

<Mary_ray> I will just continue to WANT - the joy is in the WANTING

<Rusty> but well worth ot

<Rusty> it

<madkapkid> Thankyou for sharing your time and talents.....

<brenda> lool around at flea markets

<StudioB> but a dremel is oh so worth it

<Elena> have some ice-cream, go ahead

<anno> my personal favorite is tiny wooden block sets..

<StudioB> every gal needs her own power tools . . .

<dbstampin> mine's a black and decker, but uses dremel attachments, got it for $30.00

<Mary_ray> one day, maybe for Christmas

<debbies> i have my own power tools...and love them

<cak> Yes, thank you Duchess. Please teach again

<Mary_ray> $30? where?

<debbies> just need to get the drill press out of storage

<Rusty> mine's my sister's but it's hiding out in my studio

<lynn> ty dutchess:)

<stampsmith> Duchess, how did you hold the domino while drilling? in a vise?

<phyl> on an exteded loan?

<dbstampin> Home Depot . . .but was just before Xmas . . ..probably a special, gave it to dh and it ended up in my stmp room

<phyllis> Someone posted a set of attachments in Costco- huge set- cheap- and usable on the dremel

<DUCHESS3> GEEZ THIS IS ANNOYING!!!!

<Mary_ray> smart thinking DB

<brenda> lol duchess

<Rusty> sure phyl....lets say that

<StudioB> was it something we said, duchess?

<debbies> thanks for the class duchess...very enlightening

<DUCHESS3> NO I HAVE A STUPID SERVER

<phyl> lol rusty

<Mary_ray> yes, great class Duchess

<stampsmith> duchess, how'd you hold the domino during drilling, in a vise?

<StudioB> duchess, estelle wants to know if you use a vise

<dbstampin> sigh . . .missed the whole thing . . . darn computer freezing!

<Char> Estelle, I live in fear of sending my private messages "out there." Please tell me this got to you privately.

<Rusty> thanks duchess. i will try it tomorrow to take to my stamp club meeting

<debbies> i am cause I got 5 boxes of dominos

<Char> It didn't....I see

<DUCHESS3> I USE A SMALL CHEAP VISE

<stampsmith> sorry char!

<brenda> char it isnt private

<Elena> 5 boxes???

<Char> Yea...I see that.

<Kristin> do you have any pictures of the dominoes?

<phyllis> Yes, you NEED avise- the domino starts to melt and get real hot- go slowly!

<Char> I NEVER get it right.

<debbies> yeah...mini, regular...and some from the dollar tree

<DUCHESS3> http://stampsmith.net/id88.htm

<phyllis> a vise

<DUCHESS3> YOU CAN SEE THEM THERE

<Rusty> me neither char

<dbstampin> I bought dh a drill press (there was one for 50% off one day) so dh drilled me some holes!

<stampsmith> a dremel, a vise, that all seems so complicated and tool-sheddy to me!

<DUCHESS3> MY DOLLAR TREE HAS NO DOMINOES

<Kristin> amazing...

<DUCHESS3> WELL, IT TOOK A LOT OF COURAGE TO DRILL THE 1ST ONE -LOL

<Rusty> as we say at my house...those are boy tools for boy jobs

<debbies> ours had the colored plastic and wooden ones

<Elena> my dollar store has nothing good at all, I know a lot of people get great stuff, but purs just ahs gurbage

<beanjean1> thanks duchess!!! great class

<dbstampin> big lots had some, but not anymore!

<stampsmith> my friend mary got small wooden, thin dominos at her dollar store and stamped on the back - lovely.

<Elena> our

<DUCHESS3> THANKS BEAN

<debbies> yeah...thats the ones I got

<brenda> another thing that could be used is rummkubes

<brenda> rummikubes

<Elena> bye, Linda

<phyl> rum what?

<DUCHESS3> WELL, I LOVE THE SMOOTH PLASTIC ONES - THEY ARE SO GOOD FOR DETAILED IMAGES

<phyl> are we drinking again?

<brenda> sorry wrong window

<phyllis> I got some wooden, lightweight, triple ones at an Amazing Savings- real cheap

<DUCHESS3> BYE ELENA

<StudioB> are you pouring, phyl?

<Elena> bye-bye everybody

<phyl> always

<mj> thx

<stampsmith> i think you all should do a swap of these type of goodies and stamp on them, how's that for an idea?!!

<brenda> lol

<DUCHESS3> GREAT IDEA

<phyl> pass around those ideas good idea

<April> someone did that i think

<DUCHESS3> I HAVE STAMPED ON POKER CHIPS!!

<phyl> how did that work

<DUCHESS3> OK, BUT I STILL LIKE THE DOMINOES

<debbies> i bought some poker chips..and some bingo markers too'

<April> thats interesting

<debbies> but have not used any yet

<phyl> i want to get some from the casinos but they wont give me any

<DUCHESS3> LOL

<phyl> party poopers

<stampsmith> i think there's something very, well seductive, in the dominos' shape.

<Rusty> go figure .lol

<phyl> oooooo seductive?

<phyllis> and of course, the formica samples from Home Depot- those are "free" LOL

<Char> I would think the poker chips would great simple medallion necklaces.

<dbstampin> I just got a whole bag of wooden chips at the thrift store . . . part of a game

<April> lol

<StudioB> I like the ideafo a swap-- I've a zillion wooden dominoes I've been covering with scraps of collage papers ... good activity for the brain dead

<DUCHESS3> YES! ROUNDED

<brenda> rummikubes are almost same shape

<Kristin> I was all for trying to stamp on all the old bills in europe after they came up with the euro, but it seems the bank wanted them back..

<phyl> freud would have a lot to say on that one

<April> got a fixation?

<Rusty> hhhhmmmmmmmmmmmm estelle, want to talk about it??? lol

<debbies> oh yeah...I forgot about the formica chips...i got a handful of those too

<stampsmith> ha ha ha!

<April> yupp..thats what i was thinking..lol

<Rusty> notice how she avoided all the questions

<April> lol!

<StudioB> go on estelle. you're among friends

<phyl> she is too busy blushing

<DUCHESS3> FACE IT - WE WILL STAMP ON ANYTHING THAT DOESN'T MOVE -LOL

<Rusty> lol

<brenda> YES

<phyl> even if it does move , stamp it

<StudioB> and some of us on things that DO move

<phyllis> and some things thatdo move

<April> true, or will die trying!lol

<brenda> and even things that do move

<stampsmith> you know i nearly stamped the inside of my new toilet the other day, but i chickened out. maybe the lid now. with lady anne.

<DUCHESS3> I'M NOT THAT GOOD

<Char> My granddaughter stamps on ME. What does that say about how fast I move?

<phyl> passing motorists, bikes, kids

<brenda> lol char\

<Rusty> i've trimmed off some off the coat on my dog for a piece i was working on

<DUCHESS3> I LOVE THE TOILET IDEA

<Kristin> yes, a lady in our local stamp store asked if she could emboss if she stamped on her child..

<StudioB> Yep, phyl was nearly arrested the other day for a "drive by stmaping"

<phyl> lol good one studio

<DUCHESS3> LOL BEAU

<stampsmith> duchess, maybe tell them about the bathroom tile and the heroines, your latest reidsterpiece??

<anno> those might be fun...

<debbies> now that would be a cool idea...a fast food type place...for stampers...drive thru stamping
