<MysticMermaid> we are about to start! Yahoo!
<brenda> looks like
<brenda> http://www.dm.net/~cak/papbatik.html
<brenda> early peak
<brenda> peek
<glitrbug> Always. I got distracted by this documentary on the Cockettes in San Francisco
<MysticMermaid> WHAT WOULD WE DO WITHOUT BRENDA?
<brenda> http://www.dm.net/~cak/papbatik.html
<brenda> some might be happier
<glitrbug> I love dressing up so they facinate me
<brenda> lol
<brenda> http://www.dm.net/~cak/papbatik.html
<cak> (sorry, it'll take about 30 seconds to load--was hoping to get it faster)
<glitrbug> Wow! that looks like messy fun! I agree with Queen. It's fun to be messy
<phyl> i love playing with paper and paint and ink
<debbies> cool
<MysticMermaid> (Announcer Voice:) Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and
<phyl> hey cak
<MysticMermaid> Girls of All Ages,....
<brenda> lol babette
<MysticMermaid> My Mom
<deb> babette
<MysticMermaid> Babette 'Mystic
<MysticMermaid> Mermaid...
<MysticMermaid> C..o.x!!!!
<anno> step right up for the greatest show on earth!
<deb> 1 reminder
<MysticMermaid> OK ... LET ME EXPLAIN ... THAT WAS MY SON SHOWING OFF !!!
<deb> please keep conversations to a minimum
<deb> either private message or go to another room to chat
<cak> LOL (sons often do)
<MysticMermaid> ALLRIGHT ... OPEN YOUR TOOL KIT AND LET'S PLAY
<deb> go babette
<MysticMermaid> THE CLOCK ON THE WALL IS DING DONGING ... TIME TO DO
<brenda> http://www.dm.net/~cak/papbatik.html
<MysticMermaid> THE FUN STUFF
<cak> and this looks like sooo much fun Mystic
<MysticMermaid> BRENDA IS KINDLY TELLING EVERYONE WHERE TO GO SEE PICTURES OF WHAT WE ARE
<phyl> we are ready
<MysticMermaid> ABOUT TO DO
<MysticMermaid> BATIK ... THE RUBBERSTAMPED WAY
<phyl> looks like fun
<MysticMermaid> WHEN YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A GREAT BACKGROUND TO COVER A BOOK OR
<MysticMermaid> TO ADD TO THE FRONT OF YOUR CARD
<MysticMermaid> OR WHATEVER - AND YOU LIKE TO PLAY WITH COLOR - THEN THIS IS FOR YOU
<phyl> its for me then
<brenda> http://www.dm.net/~cak/papbatik.html
<MysticMermaid> YOU WILL NEED TO REMEMBER TO HAVE SOME FREEZER PAPER
<MysticMermaid> ALSO SOME DYE INK REFILL BOTTLES
<MysticMermaid> AND SOME WHITE MULBERRY PAPER
<phyl> should the bottles have ink in them?
<phyl> lol
<MysticMermaid> OTHER THAN THAT A RESIST PAD (OR CLEAR EMBOSSING INK PAD) AND A STAMP
<MysticMermaid> WITH A BOLD DESIGN
<MysticMermaid> FIRST DECIDE HOW BIG YOU WILL NEED YOUR END PRODUCT TO BE
<MysticMermaid> I JUST USED A SCRAP SO I COULD SHOW YOU HOW THE TECHNIQUE WORKS
<brenda> http://www.dm.net/~cak/papbatik.html
<MysticMermaid> IF YOU ARE COVERING A JOURNAL THEN THE SIZE WILL BE IMPORTANT
<MysticMermaid> CUT YOUR PAPER TO THIS SIZE
<surender> yes I do need help
<MysticMermaid> LOOK FOR AN IMAGE THAT IS BOLD ... OR SEVERAL THAT ARE BOLD
<muzzledanno> good job, lin.. you made it! (now I'll shush again)
<MysticMermaid> THE SWIRL STAMP AND I ARE GREAT FRIENDS ... LOVE IT ... LOVE IT
<brenda> http://www.dm.net/~cak/papbatik.html
<surender> I am supposed to be able to see something
<MysticMermaid> USING YOUR CLEAR RESIST PAD (THIS SEEMS TO BE WHAT IS BEST) OR THE CLEAR EMB INK PAD
<MysticMermaid> STAMP OUT YOUR IMAGE ON THE WHITE MULBERRY PAPER
<MysticMermaid> I REALIZE YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO SEE A DARN THING...
<MysticMermaid> SO YOU MIGHT WANT TO SLIP A PIECE OF COLOR PAPER BEHIND THE WHITE MULBERRY
<MysticMermaid> AH ... THAT'S BETTER
<MysticMermaid> EVERYBODY WITH ME SO FAR? SURE IS QUIET IN HERE. GUESS I'M DOING ALL THE TALKING IS WHY.
<deb> heh
<phyl> we are listening intently
<Rusty> yup
<MysticMermaid> NOW DUMP CLEAR EMBOSSING POWDER ALL OVER THE IMAGE YOU JUST STAMPED
<twodog> got it so far
<debbiesdiecuts> visualizing here
<Kanga> yep
<MysticMermaid> I APPRECIATE HEARING A BIT FROM YOU GUYS ... SURE WISH WE WERE IN ONE ROOM ... SOMETWHERE
<brenda> lol
<MysticMermaid> ANYWAY ... GO AHEAD AND EMBOSS THAT WITH YOUR HEAT GUN
<phyl> we are here with you believe me
<debbiesdiecuts> me too
<StarofHearts> Yeah, me too
<twodog> definitely
<MysticMermaid> NOW YOU CAN BASICALLY SEE
<Kanga> ditto
<The_Dolphin_Lady> yes. (I'm sare!)
<manybooks> listening intently
<MysticMermaid> 'THROUGH' THE EMBOSSED AREA
<phyl> did you say you can use the versamark pad?
<MysticMermaid> SO YOU WILL KNOW WHERE ELSE YOU MAY WANT TO ADD MORE
<cak> Mystic, is there a better paper to use for this (or did I miss it earlier)?
<MysticMermaid> IN OTHER WORDS, YOU CAN DO LOTS OF THESE BUT NOT SEEING IS MAKING IT HARD UNTIL IT IS
<MysticMermaid> EMBOSSED
<brenda> ah ok
<Rusty> ah the zen stamping
<MysticMermaid> cak MULBERRY IS JUST SO GOOD ... YOU WANT TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE LOOK.
<brenda> Teri
<brenda> http://www.dm.net/~cak/papbatik.html
<MysticMermaid> I'M NOT SURE IF SOME OF THE YUZENS WOULD WORK ... PROBABLY
<cak> gotcha, thanks! (and I do love tht mulberry paper anyway)
<MysticMermaid> ANYWAY ... WHAT WE ARE AIMING AT IS THE NEXT PART.
<phyl> now i know why i bought all that white mulberry paper
<twodog> I'm assuming you use the mulberry paper to get a real batik look, but will other paper work?
<MysticMermaid> WHEN YOU HAVE FINISHED WITH THE EMBOSSING ...
<MysticMermaid> LET ME STOP FOR A MINUTE AND ADDRESS THIS PAPER THING
<Seesa> phly send some this way! all i have is a bit of blue
<phyl> by carrier pidgeon?
<brenda> http://www.dm.net/~cak/papbatik.html
<MysticMermaid> THERE ARE A COUPLE OF THICKNESS OF MULBERRY PAPER ... USE THE HEAVIER ONE
<Seesa> sure!
<brenda> yippie teri you made it
<Rusty> oh thanks
<Teri> iYee-haw
<phyl> let me go out and catch one
<MysticMermaid> WE ARE GOING TO STAIN THIS PAPER ... AND I'VE FOUND THAT THE THIN WON'T HOLD THE EMBOSSED
<MysticMermaid> IMAGES TOO WELL.
<phyl> i am already strained
<MysticMermaid> VELUM WOULDN'T WORK AS IT WOULD BE HARD TO STAIN WITH THE WATER AND INK
<StarofHearts> I would think the thinner paper would tear to easy as well.
<cak> they "sink" in when you heat it?
<phyl> how about sheer heaven vellum?
<MysticMermaid> CARDSTOCK MIGHT WORK, BUT IT REALLY ISN'T THE LOOK I'M GOING FOR
<cak> (the thinner mulberrry)
<debbiesdiecuts> sheer heaven is sheer heaven for batik
<MysticMermaid> YES ... cak ... THE COLOR SINKS IN.
<The_Dolphin_Lady> these arej ust too cool looking.
<twodog> gotcha. ty
<MysticMermaid> AND YES YOU CAN OVERHEAT YOUR EMBOSSING AND LOOSE THE WHOLE THING
<phyl> been there, done that
<cak> (me too)
<MysticMermaid> DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN UNDER EMBOSS? YES, I KNOW YOU DID.
<phyl> yup did that too
<MysticMermaid> AND THEN YOU CAN ALSO OVER EMBOSS ... YOU CAN COMPLETELY LOOSE THE WHOLE THING
<cak> uh, no I didn't. How can you tell when it's done?
<Rusty> oh no not us!! lol
<MysticMermaid> YOU GOTTA WATCH FOR THE SHINE ...
<MysticMermaid> THERE ARE TIMES WHEN YOU *WANT* THE OVER EMBOSSED THING.
<MysticMermaid> THIS ISN'T IT ... NOT NO, BUT OH NO.
<phyl> and i threw all mine away drat
<MysticMermaid> OK ... YOU ALL PLAY WITH DIFFERENT PAPERS, BUT FOR NOW WE WILL GO ON.
<brenda> http://www.dm.net/~cak/papbatik.html
<Rusty> ok
<MysticMermaid> THIS IS THE FUN PART.
<phyl> ready
<MysticMermaid> YOU MUST DIG OUT THE OLD COLOR WHEEL.
<The_Dolphin_Lady> oh are we sposed to be working along with you?
<MysticMermaid> I PUT ON THE INSTRUCTIONS AND I'LL REPEAT HERE BECAUSE IT NEEDS TO BE NOTED
<MysticMermaid> YOU CAN WORK ALONG Dolphin Lady IF YOU WANT ... THAT'S FINE
<MysticMermaid> THERE ARE 3 SETS OF COLORS THAT ARE CALLED COMPLIMENTARY (DON'T WORRY, THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE BORING)
<MysticMermaid> THEY ARE EASY TO REMEMBER> RED/GREEN (THINK CHRISTMAS)
<MysticMermaid> PURPLE/YELLOW (THINK EASTER)
<The_Dolphin_Lady> I can't RESIST - - as long as they aren't RUDe colors.
<MysticMermaid> BLUE/ORANGE (THINK YOUR REFRIGERATOR WHEN YOU NEED TO CLEAN IT OUT AND YOU HAVE THINGS GROWING IN THERE ON STUFF)
<Rusty> lol
<MysticMermaid> THAT'S HOW I GOT IT EXPLAINED TO ME ... AND I REMEMBERED IT
<cak> lol
<debbiesdiecuts> oh you mean the science projects...
<deb> COOL
<MysticMermaid> ANYWAY ... WE ARE GOING TO LET THE COLORS FLOW TOGETHER
<phyl> my refrigerator is green/black
<brenda> http://www.dm.net/~cak/papbatik.html
<MysticMermaid> SO WE NEED TO REMEMBER THAT THE COMPLIMENTARY COLORS WILL MAKE MUD
<MysticMermaid> IF YOU LIKE MUD THEN GO FOR IT
<brenda> lol
<MysticMermaid> phyl ... I MEANT WHAT WAS INSIDE THE REFRIGERATOR ... NOT OUTSIDE!
<phyl> that is inside mine
<debbiesdiecuts> red and green make brown...and thats the color of mud...
<MysticMermaid> YOU WILL NOW REMEMBER THAT WHITE IS A COLOR AS WELL ...
<The_Dolphin_Lady> oh so I guess we do want rude colors? lol. ones that are not complimentary? ok
<Rusty> lol
<MysticMermaid> SO IN ORDER TO NOT HAVE MUD LEAVE SOME WHITE ...
<MysticMermaid> OR USE OTHER COLORS
<phyl> extremely rude
<MysticMermaid> OR YELLOW IS A GOOD BUFFER
<phyl> so are my cats
<MysticMermaid> UNFORTUNATELY ON MY SAMPLE (ON THE WEB PAGE) I USED TAUPE
<brenda> http://www.dm.net/~cak/papbatik.html
<MysticMermaid> THAT WAS DUMB OF ME ... I JUST LOVED THE COLOR
<MysticMermaid> BUT IT MAY HAVE YOU THINKING THAT I MADE MUD ...
<MysticMermaid> I REALLY DIDN'T
<The_Dolphin_Lady> i didn't think it wasmud I just thought you used a tan color
<MysticMermaid> OK ... SPRITZ YOUR EMBOSSED MULBERRY PAPER WITH WATER *LIGHTLY*
<cak> Green and brown look great together though
<MysticMermaid> TAKE A BRUSH AND DIP IT INTO A LITTLE DROP OR TWO OF DYE INK
<MysticMermaid> I PUT MY INK IN A CHINA PLATE ... ANYTHING WILL DO AS LONG AS THE INKS DON'T RUN TOGETHER
<MysticMermaid> NOW WET YOUR BIG PAINTBRUSH ... DIP IT INTO THE DROPS OF INK
<MysticMermaid> AND DAB HERE AND THERE ON THE WET MULBERRY PAPER AND RIGHT OVER THE EMBOSSED DESIGN
<MysticMermaid> THIS IS SO MUCH FUN !!!
<MysticMermaid> I LOVE USING PAINTBRUSHES ... MAKES ME FEEL LIKE A REAL ARTIST-O!
<deb> lol
<MysticMermaid> NOW USE YOUR SECOND COLOR AND DO THE SAME
<phyl> :)
<cak> so you wet, load and dab?
<Cher> spritz water again too?
<MysticMermaid> REMEMBER THAT IT WILL DRY LIGHTER ... SO IF YOU GET TOO WORRIED THAT IT LOOKS SO DARK ... THEN DON'T
<MysticMermaid> HAHA
<MysticMermaid> HERE IS THE HARD PART ... DUN ... DUN ... DUN ...
<MysticMermaid> I'M GETTING GOOFY ... HANG ON I
<Rusty> uh oh i'm shaking lol'
<cak> lol
<MysticMermaid> I'LL GET IT TOGETHER
<phyl> de dum dum
<The_Dolphin_Lady> waiting.
<MysticMermaid> YOU HAVE TO DO THE WAIT THING WHILE THE DARN THING DRIES
<deb> drum roll
<MysticMermaid> <POUT>
<Rusty> oh man!!!!!!!
<phyl> wait? what is that?
<cak> Wait!??! Oh NO!
<Rusty> what a bummer
<MysticMermaid> I TOOK MINE OFF OF THE ... OOPS FORGOT TO TELL YOU TO WORK ON FREEZER PAPER ...
<deb> ok - so start an other sheet while that one is drying!!!
<MysticMermaid> I'LL BET ALL OF YOU ARE WORKING ON A MESSY DESK ... I'M SORRY
<phyl> lol
<cak> you don't have to iron it on though, right. It's just protection?
<MysticMermaid> I TAPED SOME FREEZER PAPER ... SHINY SIDE UP ... ON MY WORKSURFACE
<StarofHearts> With all this hot air you all are blowing around, my paper is already dry. hehehe
<phyl> figured that was what it was for
<MysticMermaid> NO ... cak ... DON'T IRON IT ... NOT YET
<MysticMermaid> YOU WILL RUIN YOUR WORK
<MysticMermaid> IF YOU JUST CAN'T CAN'T CAN'T WAIT ... LIKE IT IS MIDNIGHT AND YOU HAVE TO GET THAT SWAP IN THE MAIL IN THE MORNING
<debbiesdiecuts> could you blow dry it to speed up the drying
<deb> http://www.dm.net/~cak/papbatik.html
<MysticMermaid> THEN YOU CAN USE A HAIRDRYER
<MysticMermaid> ONLY BE CAREFUL NOT TO MELT YOUR IMAGE(S)
<phyl> or get dh to talk over it
<cak> I was thinking of ironing before starting--a lot of people do that to temporarily adhere the paper to a better support (freezer paper)
<MysticMermaid> cak - I DON'T THINK WE ARE ON THE SAME PAGE
<MysticMermaid> YOU *WANT* THE INK TO BLEED THROUGH AND MIX UP TOGETHER
<deb> to mix up under the paper
<cak> no, I'm just wandering down a side path. Just ignore me til I get back to the main course
<MysticMermaid> THEN YOU WANT TO BE ABLE TO REMOVE IT ... AND DRY IT
<Rusty> do you need breadcrumbs cak?
<brenda> http://www.dm.net/~cak/papbatik.html
<deb> I gave her a compass - she's fine
<Rusty> lol
<MysticMermaid> THIS WOULD BE A GREAT TIME TO DO MORE ...! AND MORE!
<MysticMermaid> OK ... SO NOW YOU HAVE A DRY PIECE ... THIS REALLY TAKES ONLY A FEW MINUTES ... BUT YOU KNOW HOW WE ARE
<Rusty> so, we just remove it from the freezer paper and let it dry?
<MysticMermaid> PUT YOUR DRIED PIECE BETWEEN 2 PIECES OF NEWSPRINT PAD PAPER ...
deb pictures a little clothesline with batik papers hanging to dry
<brenda> http://www.dm.net/~cak/papbatik.html
<MysticMermaid> AND USING A HOT IRON ... IRON THE IMAGE SO THAT THE EMBOSSING YOU DID (THE RESIST PART) DISAPPEARS
<MysticMermaid> YES, Rusty, YOU REMOVE IT FROM THE FREEZER PAPER AND LET IT DRY.
<Rusty> thanks
<MysticMermaid> I HAVE A CERAMIC TILE THAT I USE FOR POLYCLAY ... IT IS 14" X 14" ... I JUST TOOK CLOTHES PINS AND
<Teri> Let me see if I have this right. You emboss clear onto white mulberry, wet it, using a paint brush, dab ink onto it to bleed and use different colors.
<Teri> Is that right so far?
<MysticMermaid> PINNED IT ON THE SIDE AS IT WAS STANDING UP AND MY PIECES DRIED THAT WAY.
<MysticMermaid> YUP... Teri ... THAT'S THE WHOLE THING IN A NUTSHELL.
<MysticMermaid> LOOKS LIKE I'M DONE HERE ...
<Teri> Yippee, I learned something!!!!
<deb> wow great samples babette
<MysticMermaid> LOL ... SHE'S GOOD!
<Rusty> iron,iron.....i think i've heard of that thing
<deb> questions??
<brenda> neato technique
<lin> where can we see the samples?
Redstick hugs Babette..."Sorry I was late!"
<deb> http://www.dm.net/~cak/papbatik.html
<cak> no, no! We want more--you gotta make something up if there isn't any more.
<Teri> When d o you iron it?
<MysticMermaid> OH ... PLEASE DON'T USE REAL NEWSPAPER ...
<Rusty> wow mysticmermaid....thanks
<deb> samples are on the web page http://www.dm.net/~cak/papbatik.html
<phyl> can you use the versamark pad?
<MysticMermaid> THE PRINTED NEWSPAPER ... LEAVES A BAD MESS ALL OVER YOUR WORK ...
<MysticMermaid> OR IT COULD BE KINDA INTERESTING
<deb> hmmmm
<Rusty> i just got a bunch of mulberry paper on clearance at joann's. I hear it calling me
<cak> Mystic, do you have to iron it multiple times or just the once will remove the ep?
<MysticMermaid> NOW WE HAVE TO FIND A USE FOR THE NEWSPRINT PAD PAPER THAT HAS THE EMBOSSING INTO IT.
<Rusty> and a bargain at .60
<brenda> really?
<MysticMermaid> ALSO ANOTHER NOTE> DON'T LEAVE YOUR IRONED PIECE ON THE NEWSPRINT PAD ... IT WILLS STICK.
<deb> do you cover it with anything before you iron?
<MysticMermaid> ONCE WITH THE IRON WILL DO IT.
<cak> would it resist ink brayered on it? (the newsprint with ironed on embossing)
<mare> what about the versamark question, will it work
<cak> thanks (the less I iron the happier I am)
<MysticMermaid> I JUST DID AN APRON WITH THE REAL KIND OF BATIK ... PAINTED IT ON FROM A SKILLET OF WAX ... TOOK ALMOST A WHOLE ROLL
<phyl> what's an iron
<MysticMermaid> OF PAPER TOWELS TO GET THAT WAX OUT.
<Rusty> i think it's a paperweight
<deb> wow
<MysticMermaid> cak ... ONCE WITH THE IRON WILL WORK
<cak> Yay!
<phyl> i have an iron around here somewhere I think
<MysticMermaid> deb ... YES YOU SANDWICH YOUR WORK BETWEEN BLANK NEWSPRINT PAPER
<deb> thank you - I think I missed that step
<StarofHearts> An iron is another stamping tool just like your toaster oven and pasta maker. lol
<phyl> ah ha ok now i know what it is
<MysticMermaid> deb ... A PICTURE ON THE WEBSITE WILL SHOW YOU.
<debbiesdiecuts> will the versamark pad work instead of a clear pad
<deb> thanks
<MysticMermaid> DID YOU KNOW THAT THE PASTA MACHINE IS GREAT FOR CUTTING STRIPS OF PAPER?
<phyl> thanks debbie
<Rusty> really?
<deb> do tell
<MysticMermaid> I HAVEN'T TRIED THE VERSAMARK ... LET'S DO IT SOMETIME!
<StarofHearts> How Mystic?
<Rusty> did not know that
<debbiesdiecuts> ty
<MysticMermaid> I SAW ON CAROL DUVALL
<terrieff> how?
<phyl> how?
<MysticMermaid> SHE PUT A STRIP OF PAPER ON THE BACK PART OF HER PASTA MACHINE
<MysticMermaid> CRANKED IT UP AND OUT CAME THESE GREAT STRIPS OF PAPER
<MysticMermaid> SO I HAD TO TRY IT ... WORKS LIKE A CHAMP
<Redstick> Ok....I gotta go do class stuff for tomorrow....ya'll have a good 'un!!
<cak> would be fabulous for paper weaving
<MysticMermaid> NOW ... IF YOU LIKE WEAVING !

<Teri> Thanks Mystic. I learned soething new
<twodog> thank you
<brenda> babette
<Kanga> thank you
<no-vicki> babette, how did you get the "crinkled" looking lines?
<brenda> cant wait to try this
<MysticMermaid> WHAT CRINKLED LINES? WHICH PIECE?
<MysticMermaid> OH I THINK I SEE ... THE JAPANESE COIN ONE?
<no-vicki> blue and green
<debbiesdiecuts> i am gonna try this with that rice paper i found...
<terrieff> TY
<MysticMermaid> WHEN YOU ARE ADDING COLOR THE MULBERRY PAPER GETS WET. DUH.
<MysticMermaid> THEN IT CRINKLES UP ON THE FREEZER PAPER ...
<phyl> if you add too much does it ruin it
<stubby> greetings Babette from Stubby Stampers in MS, been a long time
<no-vicki> ah, ok ty
<MysticMermaid> YOU CAN STRAIGHTEN IT UP OR LEAVE IT.
<MysticMermaid> FOR SURE YOU CAN IRON IT IN HARDER WITH YOUR IRON ... GUESS THAT'S WHAT I MUST HAVE DONE.
<manybooks> I got kicked out half way - can anyone tell me where/when I can read a transcript?? ths
<MysticMermaid> HELLO TO YOU TOO STUBBY STAMPER WOMAN! LONG TIME SINCE I DID A CONVENTION IN MS ...
<deb> unedited transcripts are at http://www.dm.net/~cak/unedtranscript.html
<deb> and thanks to CAK who logs them ALL!!!!!!
<stubby> last saw you at HIA Dallas
<MysticMermaid> MANYBROOKS ... I'M SO SORRY THAT IS SO FRUSTRATING !!!
<manybooks> Thanks, and I already bookmarked the pictures - great class!!
<cak> it'll be a couple of days before they show up, but they'll be there
<manybooks> no prob - I loved the class
<MysticMermaid> YUP ... LOVE HIA ...
<terrieff> bye for now..thanks
<no-vicki> cak, will the pictures be there forever, too?
<MysticMermaid> WELL I APPRECIATE YOUR COMING EVERYONE. DID I ANSWER THE CRINKLE QUESTION OK?
<deb> yes
<phyl> i have one more question
<no-vicki> yes, ty
<cak> yep! unless someone else takes 'em down
<phyl> mystic?
<deb> the plan is for them to stay up as long as the transcripts do
<MysticMermaid> yes ...
<LindaR> interesting technique. ANother use for embossing powder.
<phyl> if you get the mulberry to wet does it ruin it?
<MysticMermaid> THANK GOODNESS FOR THAT (USE OF EPOWDER) I'VE BEEN DUMPING ALL MINE IN MY HOT POT ... LOL
<deb> heh
<cak> that sounds like fun too Mystic
<MysticMermaid> phil ... WHAT? CAN YOU SAY THAT AGAIN IN A DIFFERENT WAY?
<MysticMermaid> 'XCUSE ME ... phyl ...
<deb> mystic mermaid will be teaching again tomorrow nite
<LindaR> I noticed in your written instructions it says regular clear EP, not detail. What does detail do poorly?
<phyl> when you are putting on your color that is diluted and you get it really wet does it ruin the mulberry paper?
<MysticMermaid> phyl (then I'll answer LindaR) ...
<LindaR> thanks
<MysticMermaid> NO, PHYL IT DOES NOT RUIN YOUR PAPER ... ONLY MAKES IT BETTER
<phyl> ah this is goooood thanks
<MysticMermaid> YOU SEE THE PAPER IS INTENDED TO BE SOPPY WET. THE EMBOSSED IMAGE WILL NOT COME OUT
<MysticMermaid> IT WILL STAY AND THE COLOR SURROUNDS IT.
<phyl> i see now
<MysticMermaid> IF YOU DON'T GET A GOOD IMAGE, THEN YES, IT WILL NOT LOOK AS GOOD.
<MysticMermaid> IF YOU ARE NOT HAPPY AND IT LOOKS LIKE A SWIMMING POOL ... THEN SOAK UP A BIT OF IT HERE AND THERE
<MysticMermaid> WITH YOUR PAPER TOWEL.
<The_Dolphin_Lady> hi elaine
<The_Dolphin_Lady> it's me sare
<elaine> hi
<glitrbug> Did you ever try the embossing trick on a t-shirt? Sounds so much easier than wax
<phyl> ok thanks for the answer and the class
<MysticMermaid> LindaR ... YOU ASKED ABOUT THE DETAIL E POWDER ...
<MysticMermaid> THIS DOES NOT WORK AS WELL BECAUSE IT WILL GET INTO THE GROVES OF THE MULBERRY PAPER ...
<LindaR> yes, why don't you recommend it?
<MysticMermaid> YOU DON'T WANT IT EVERYWHERE BECAUSE YOU ONLY WANT TO BE ABLE TO FLICK OUT THE EXCESS E POWDER FROM THE PAGE.
<MysticMermaid> IT IS HARDER TO GET FLICKED OUT OF THE MULBERRY PAPER AS THERE ARE SO MANY FIBERS TO HANG IT UP IN THERE.
<LindaR> OK, I think I understand. Its too fine and hides in the paper's texture
<deb> good question
<MysticMermaid> YES ... gLITRBUG ... I HAVE EMBOSSED A T-SHIRT. I WAS DEMO'ING AT THE HIA SHOW FOR CLEARSNAP
<The_Dolphin_Lady> hi deb is that you 2nd star? it's me sare
<MysticMermaid> AND DECIDED WHAT THE HECK ... I WAS SO NERVOUS ... BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? IT WORKS!
<MysticMermaid> THAT WAS SO LONG AGO ... BEFORE THE DAYS OF FABRICO AND CRAFTERS AND THE FABRIC INKS.
<The_Dolphin_Lady> course i probably have the wrong deb.
<elaine> can you wash a embossed shirt? I just got in the room...so sorry if this is a repeat ?
<deb> it's not - good question
<MysticMermaid> YES ... ELAINE YOU SURE CAN WASH AN EMBOSSED T-SHIRT .
<MysticMermaid> OH NO ... WE'VE CREATED A NEW CLASS!
<debbiesdiecuts> the embossing will survive being washed
<elaine> do you have to do it inside out...like the photo transfer paper
<MysticMermaid> TOMORROW NIGHT YOU CAN JOIN HERE SAME TIME ... AND I
<deb> YES YES YES!!!!!!!
<MysticMermaid> WILL SHOW YOU HOW TO CHANGE AN ORDINARY CD INTO A GORGEOUS WEARABLE PIECE OF ART. I'M SERIOUS!
