<Redstick> tHE PREMISE IS USING A LITTLE BRASS PILLBOX....THAT I JUST HAPPEN TO HAVE A LIMITED QUANTITY OF...
<marylou> hi gunvor
<Redstick> BUT.....ANY REALLY LITTLE TEENY TINY HINGED BOX WOULD DO
<Gunvor> hi marylou
<Janet> (talk slow, i need a coffee refill)
Cinnamon thinks that coffee will keep me awake, but bring me some anyway, ok?
<Redstick> NOW...MANY OF YA'LL KNOW THAT I'M ONE FOR SAVING A BUCK WHERE I CAN....SO I HAVE MORE TO SPEND ON THE *REALLY* NEAT STUFF
<Redstick> THERE ARE *LOTS* OF EXPENSIVE PAINTS THAT YOU CAN USE ON METAL
<Redstick> DR MARTIN MAKES ONE
<April> Hi RED!
<Redstick> LUMIERES WORK
Redstick WAVES TO APRIL
<Redstick> BUT....
<Kanga> yes
<Redstick> DELTA ALSO MAKES A METAL PAINT AND IT'S *REALLY* NO PREP...
<Redstick> WHICH MEANS NO SANDING, ETC
<Redstick> AND IT'S NOT EXPENSIVE!
<Kanga> how does it compare with lumieres?
<Redstick> AND IT COMES IN YUMMY METALLIC COLORS LIKE COPPER AND GOLD AND SILVER AND BRONZE
<Redstick> AND SOME OTHER NEAT NON METALLIC COLORS
<Redstick> I PAINTED ONE PILL BOX WITH LUMIERES AND ONE WITH DELTA METAL PAINT....AND GOT BETTER, MORE EVEN COVERAGE WITH ONE COAT OF THE DELTA
<cak> is it just called Metal Paint (I need names!)
<phyl> that is what it is called? Delta metal paint?
<Redstick> SO SAVE YER MONEY TO BUY PILLBOXES AND NEAT PAPERS AND STUFF..
<Kanga> where do you buy it?
<Redstick> DELTA NO PREP METAL PAINT
<cak> lol and true to it's name
<Redstick> COMES IN A LITTLE SQUEEZE TOP BOTTLE LIKE REGULAR CRAFT PAINT
<Redstick> MICHAELS, HOBBY LOBBY
<carol> I bought mine at Michael's
<Kanga> k
<Kanga> ty
<Redstick> SO THE FIRST STEP IS PAINTING THE PILLBOX
<Marion> Any suggestion on where to find pillboxes
<Redstick> ON THE FIRST ONE I USED BURNT UMBER....IS NOT METALLIC, BUT A PRETTY SHINY BROWN
<Janet> buy 'em from Enchanted Ink
<Redstick> WE HAVE THE PILLBOXES, Marion, AND I'M TRYING TO GET MORE
<LisaG> i can't find them on the website
<Janet> (I'm thinking I could decorate them even without the book inside and use it for, imagine this, a pillbox)
<Marion> OK
<cak> lol
<Redstick> AFTER THE BROWN DRIED...I SQUEEZED A LITTLE GOLD ONTO A PAPER PLATE AND THEN DRY BRUSHED THE EDGES WITH GOLD
<Holly> lol Janet
<Kanga> you don't paint the pillbox with regular acrylic paint first (black) to save your metalic paint?
<Redstick> THEY'RE IN THE BOOTH...UNDER *NEW* THEN DOO-DADS
<Janet> http://www.cyberstampers.com/convention/enchantedink/
Janet knows her booths
<Redstick> REGULAR ACRYLIC IS LIABLE TO PEEL OFF IF THE BOX GETS ANY WEAR..
<Redstick> YA'LL KNOW HOW TO DRY BRUSH, RIGHT?
<stampink> yep
<Gunvor> sorry, no
<cak> I can use to help (I'm always too wet or too dry)
<Kanga> mp
<cak> the help, that is
<LisaG> no
<Marion> sort of
<Redstick> OK Gunvor...DRY BRUSHING IS JUST LIKE IT SOUNDS....USE A DRY BRUSH, DIP IT IN THE PAINT....JUST A DAB, THEN BRUSH SOME OFF ON A PAPER TOWEL...
<Gunvor> ok
<Kanga> k
<Redstick> WHEN IT GETS STREAKY...THEN IT'S READY TO BRUSH ON THE BOX
<Kanga> ok, so not watered down with a wet brush
<Redstick> THE FRONT OF THIS BOX WAS DONE WITH A CHARM (LOOP CUT OFF WITH WIRE SNIPS) A SPIRAL PAPER CLIP AND SOME METALLIC GOLD THREAD
<Gunvor> thanks - I get the picture
<Redstick> ALL GLUED ON WITH GRABBIT
Gunvor is a bit slow as it's 5 am in her part of the world
<Redstick> WHICH IS COUSIN TO SUPER GLUE....BUIT DOESN'T DRY AS FAST
<stamprat> who sells grabbit?
<Kanga> ouch, Gunvor!
<Teri> but you can use super glue if you had to couldn't you?
<Holly> Wal Mart sells it
<Redstick> THE ACCORDION FOR THIS ONE WAS SIMPLE....IS CUT 1 1/4" WHICH IS A LITTLE LESS THAN INSIDE HEIGHT OF THE BOX.....THEN 8 TIMES THE WIDTH....IN THIS CASE 9 INCHES
<stamprat> oh, good, walmart we've got
<stamprat> no craft stores, tho
<Holly> its in the hardware section at my wal mart
<Redstick> TO MAKE THE ACCORDION, FOLD IN HALF, THEN FOLD THOSE HALVES IN HALF....AND THOSE IN HALF TIL YOU HAVE 8 EQUAL SECTIONS
<stamprat> tx holly
<Kanga> ty Holly
<Redstick> ***MUCH EASIER*** THAN MEASURING EACH PANEL
<Gunvor> great tip redstick
<Redstick> STAMP IT AND THEN PUT GLUE ON THE *BACK* SIDE OF THE LAST PANEL..
<Redstick> THEN PLACE IT INTO THE BOX....
<Redstick> THE BACK PANEL IS GLUED TO THE BOTTOM OF THE BOX.
<stubby> grabbit on the paper too?
<debbiesdiecuts> so the accordian book panel is glued into the box
<Redstick> SIMPLICITY ITSELF!
<Redstick> YES...THE BOX BECOMES THE BOOK COVERS
<debbiesdiecuts> cool...would E 6000 glue work too
<Redstick> I USED AILEENE'S TACKY GLUE TO GLUE THE ACCORDION IN
<Holly> but you don't glue the first panel to the lid?
<Redstick> YOU COULD HOLLY....BUT THE ACCORDION WOULDN'T REALLY UNFOLD ALL THE WAY
<Holly> oh, is the lid hinged?
<Redstick> YES...IT'S A BRASS PILL BOX
<Holly> oh, okay. I thought the lid came all the way off. sorry
<Redstick> WHICH WE HAVE IN THE *NEW* SECTION OF THE BOOTH
<Redstick> THE 2ND BOX WAS PAINTED WITH COPPER DELTA METAL PAINT
<Redstick> THEN STAMPED WITH A TEXT IMAGE USING A PERMANENT TYPE INK..
<debbiesdiecuts> well...try as I may...I cannot keep my eyes open...
<Seesa> G'night Debbie
<debbiesdiecuts> 5 am comes early in the morning...
<Redstick> CRAFTER'S, HEAT SET, RANGER'S 213, iNKREDIBLE...WHATEVER YOU HAVE
<Holly> nite debbie. sleep well
<debbiesdiecuts> thanks red...will definately be working with this
<debbiesdiecuts> blessings everyone
<Redstick> UNDERSTOOD debbiesdiecuts dREAM SWEET!
<Redstick> YOU COULD ALSO STAMP AND EMBOSS.
<Redstick> THEN A TINY CLOCK FACE AND KEY WERE GLUED TO THE LID
<stampink> Does the metal paint take the heat of embossing?
<stampink> Acrylic paints sometimes bubble up
<Redstick> IF YOU TAKE YOUR TIME, stampink....DON'T GET *RIGHT* ON TOP OF IT
<stampink> ok
<Redstick> THE BRASS WILL HEAT QUICKLY!
<Redstick> THE ACCORDION PANEL FOR THIS ONE IS ABIT DIFFERENT...
<Redstick> INSTEAD OF THE HEIGHT OF THE BOX....I CUT IT ABOUT 1 AND A 1/3 TIMES THE HEIGHT AND 8 TIMES THE WIDTH
<Holly> I really like this one!
<Redstick> I FOLDED IT INTO THE ACCORDION AND THEN DREW A LIGHT LINE ACROSS AT THE 1 1/4" MARK
<Redstick> THEN AT EACH FOLD I MEASURED OUT 1/8" ON THE BOTTOM.....DREW DIAGONALS AND CUT OUT THE RESULTING LITTLE NOTCHES
<Kanga> wait, system threw me off. last I saw was "THEN A TINY CLOCK FACE AND KEY WERE GLUED TO THE LID". what was next?
<Redstick> NEXT I FOLDED UP THE LITTLE TABS AND RE-BONE FOLDED THE FOLDS
<Redstick> ACCORDION IS 1 1/3 TIMES THE HEIGHT, KANGA
<Kanga> ty]
<Redstick> THE EXTRA IS NOTCHED AND FOLDED UP
<Redstick> THE ACCORDION IS ALSO BACKED WITH OUR TISSUE....SO IT SHOWS WHEN THE TABS ARE FOLDED UP
<Holly> love those tissues to show
<cak> a pages that stand on their own feet!
<Redstick> I STAMPED IT AND THEN CUT OUT LITTLE WORDS FROM A MAGAZINE.....GLUED THOSE ON THE INSIDE OF THE TABS
<Janet> love that tissue
<Redstick> SO THE TEXT OF THE BOOK IS READ WHEN THE TABS ARE FOLDED DOWN
deb thinks Redstick is toooooo clever
<Redstick> THE TWO END PANELS I CUT OFF FLUSH WITH THE HEIGHT
<Redstick> AND GLUED THE BACK PANEL INTO THE BOX AS BEFORE
<Redstick> NEXT ONE WAS FUN....PAINTED BLACK, THEN SPONGED INSIDE AND OUT WITH SILVER
<cindyc> downright amazin
<Holly> I really like the little tab idea Candace.
<Redstick> THE TOP EMBELLISHMENT IS UTEE ON A MATBOARD SQUARE
<Redstick> BLACK UTEE WITH A LITTLE VIOLET SPRINKLED ON....STAMP IS INKED WITH SILER
<Redstick> SILVER
<Redstick> THE ACCORDION IS A *TUNNEL* STYLE..
<somebunny> whats tunnel style
<Redstick> CUT ONE ACCORDION FROM BLACK C/S THE SAME SIZE AS BEFORE 1 1/4" X 8 TIMES
<Holly> bunny it's where holes are cut in the pages forming a tunnel
<kate> whisper thanks to cat
<kate> thanks
<Redstick> THEN I CUT ANOTHER ACCORDION FROM SILVER PAPER...BUT IT'S 1 1/4" X 8 INCHES....NOT 8 TIMES WHICH IS 9 INCHES...
<Redstick> IT'S AN INCH SHORTER THAN THE BLACK ACCORDION
<Redstick> FOLD IT THE SAME...AND PUNCH OUT LITTLE SHAPES
<Redstick> THEN NESTLE THE TWO ACCORDIONS TOGETHER...THE SILVER ONE STANDS OUT A BIT FROM THE BLACK BECAUSE IT'S SHALLOWER...LOOKING THROUGH THE STAR HOLES MAKES A TUNNEL
<cak> tres cool
<Janet> very cool
<Redstick> GLUE THE END PANELS OF THE SILVER TO THE END PANELS OF THE BLACK
deb says OH I must be hungry - I thought that said Nestles
<Gunvor> neat - gotta try this
<Janet> lol
<Susie> What is the violet? UTEE?
<Redstick> THEN GLUE THE BACK END PANEL INTO THE BOX LIKE BEFORE
cindyc sees a peekaboo book with pics of richard gere nestled in.....
<Redstick> THE VIOLET WAS AN INTERFERNCE ep...NOT UTEE
<Susie> Oh OK, it is gorgeous.
<Janet> yum cindy
<Susie> Have to find some
Holly wants cindyc's book after she makes it
<Redstick> THE LAST ONE'S MY FAVORITE
Kanga says cindyc must share
<cindyc> lol
<Redstick> PAINTED GREEN (NOT METALLIC)
<cindyc> it's my fave too.... awesome box
<Froggie> I like that one best too
<Redstick> THEN I DID ONE OF THE IMAGES FROM OUR *GODDESSES ALL* PLATE ON WHITE SHRINK PLASTIC
<Kanga> green acrylics?
<cindyc> are the new plates ready now?????????
<Redstick> GREEN DELTA METAL PAINT
<Holly> is it your favorite because of the box or the book?
<Kanga> k
<Redstick> BOTH HOLLY
<Holly> I was just curious
<Redstick> YES, CINDYC...MR RED IS PRESSING AS I TYPE :)
<cindyc> yay!!!!!!
<Redstick> I PAINTED IN THE IMAGE WITH BRILLIANCE INKS....FROM REINKERS
<Redstick> BEFORE I SHRANK IT
<Redstick> SHRUNK IT?
<Redstick GRINS
<cindyc> minimized it...
<cindyc> g
<Holly> shrank I thunk
<Janet> shrunked is my vote
<Redstick> THEN I GLUED IT TO THE TOP OF THE BOX....COVERED WITH DIAMOND GLAZE AND SPRINKLED ON SOME TEENY TINY BEEDZ
<manybooks> SHRINKT
<Redstick> THAT'S IT, manybooks!!
<cindyc> creative downsizing...
<Holly> diminished
<Janet> hotted it up
<Holly> lol
<phyl> midgitized
<somebunny> beautiful
<Janet> (what would you do without our help, Red?)
<cindyc> you should name her Boxy Lady
<Redstick> THE ACCORDION IS BACKED WITH OUR TISSUE....AND CUT AS BEFORE...1 1/4" X 9 INCHES...
<Janet> (don't answer that<g>)
<Kanga> what do you mean by
<Redstick> BUT I CUT TWO MORE LITTLE PANELS 1 1/4" X 2 1/2"
<Kanga> backed with our tissue?
<Janet> oh Kanga, you must get some EI tissue, it's yummers
<cindyc> kanga, you havent' seen red's tissue yet? oh it is glorious!!!!
<Holly> kanga she has the most fantastic dyed tissues
<Redstick> THE BACK OF THE CARDSTOCK ACCORDION WAS COVERED WITH OUR HAND MARLBED TISSUES
<Kanga> wow, sample?
<Redstick> THE TWO EXTRA PANELS I FOLDED IN HALF...
cindyc just got some in the mail today....
<Holly> it's almost too beautiful. You'll want to keep it all and notuse it
<Redstick> THEN SEWED THEM INTO THE TWO MIDDLE VALLEY FOLDS OF THE ACCORDION..
<Susie> http://www.enchantedink.com/paper.htm
<Susie> For tissue
<Kanga> sewn?
<Kanga> ty susie
<phyl> sewed? like needle and thread
<Redstick> I USED THE PAMPHLET STITCH....IF NOT FAMILIAR....IT'S IN A FEW OF THE PROJECT INSTRUCTIONS ON OUR MAIN WEBSITE
<Holly> so we know where to get the pill boxes and the stamps and the tissue, but where do you get your ideas?!
<Janet> and the illustration doesn't even begin to show how beautiful this is, you just have to hold and fondle it for yourself
<Redstick> NEEDLE AND THREAD
<cindyc> i wanna fondle it
<phyl> ok send me one to fondle please
<Redstick> THE LITTLE VOICES TALK TO ME, HOLLY ;)
<Janet> phyl, you need a whole pint.
<Susie> It looks too good to use.
<Kanga> me too
<cindyc> she'll make more....
<phyl> i am a half pint so i guess i need a pint
<Redstick> THE PICS IN THIS ONE WERE CUT FROM A MAGAZINE AND GLUED IN...AND LET ME TELL YA...
<Holly> I use it on almost all of my books
<Redstick> IT WAS A ****HUNT*** FINDING LITTLE TINY PICTURES OF WINE RELATED STUFF!
<Janet> you'll just love it, everybody needs at least a pint
<phyl> lol
<Kanga> so you sewed the card stock and beautiful paper in the folds with needle and thread?
<Janet> I'm serious, I buy a LOT of this paper
<cak> lol
<Holly> red, you could scan big pics and then shrink, diminish, downsize them on the computer
<Susie> Pamplet stitch: http://www.enchantedink.com/projects/class18.htm
<Redstick> THE TISSUE IS GLUED TO THE CARDSTOCK...ACTUALLY I USE MY XYRON *ALOT*
<Gunvor> sorry -gotta go. Son's awake and in foul mood

<Susie> Xyron the tissue or th cardstock?
<somebunny> where are the brass boxes, can't find them under doo-dads
<Redstick> USUALLY THE CARDSTOCK..BUT YOU CAN XYRON THE TISSUE TOO....MAKES IT GREAT FOR COVERING LITTLE BOXES..
<deb> it IS to die for
<Susie> BRass boxes: http://www.enchantedink.com/booth/new/index.html
<Susie> Was afraid tissue might wrinkle in Xyron.
<Holly> I hoard my tissue
<cindyc> susie is good
<crazyclaudia> YES YES YES
<Redstick> IT'S WRINKLED ALREADY :) BUT IT REALLY GOES THROUGH EASILY..
<Holly> and the wrinkles look good
<Susie> OK. won't obsess over it then ;-}
<Redstick> ABSOLUTELY *NO* HOARDING!! sURELY YOU DON'T WANT MY ALMOST 80YO MOTHER TO BE OUTTA A JOB!! :)
<Janet> LOL
<Janet> not with me around she'll never be out a job
<cak> lol
<Susie> I always hoard. But I can use all but the last piece, until I order more of something ;-}
phyl digs out her two year old tissue
<deb> lol
<crazyclaudia> WHAT ARE YOUR NEW PLATES
<deb> red sent me a sample packet of paper and I've used almost all of it
<Susie> New plates: http://www.enchantedink.com/booth/plates.htm
<cindyc> ooo wait til you see claudia!!
<Redstick> THE NEW PLATES ARE 6" X 8" RATHER THAN THE BIGGER ONES WE HAD ALREADY..
<Janet> I think I need all of them
<Ivy> I know I was late but could someone tell me where you find brass pill boxes
deb is doing eeeny miny moe on the plates
<crazyclaudia> I WANT YOUR NAKED GODESSES WHEN THERE DONE
<Holly> When I find a particularly beautiful piece I'm always afraid there won't be another one as pretty because no two are exactly alike
<Redstick> WE HAVE THE PILLBOXES.
<cindyc> I neeeeeed them all
<Janet> at Enchanted Ink. they're 3.75 each?
<deb> right
<Ivy> oh cool
<Susie> Brass pillboxes: http://www.enchantedink.com/booth/new/index.html
<Ivy> thank you
<deb> get them before janet takes t hem all
<Susie> Bottom of page

<Janet> LOL
<Redstick> REALLY TRULY....I DON'T HAVE MANY OF THESE...

<Redstick> AM TRYING TO FIND MORE
<phyl> to late i got them all
<deb> Redstick what is your email addy
<Janet> I wanna make books AND make a few nice looking pill boxes. for traveling, don't ya know
<Redstick> STAMPS@ENCHANTEDINK.COM
<Susie> Good idea, use them for pillboxes! LOL!
<Redstick> THESE WOULD BE GREAT GIFTS, TOO.....ESPECIALLY IF YOU USED BITS OF SNAP SHOTS INSIDE...
<Holly> my pills are too darn big to fit in one of those
<cindyc> richard....
<Redstick> LIKE A LITTLE PHOTO ALBUM
<Janet> i got meds that need to be taken at meals, when traveling i want something discrete to carry 'em down to the restaurant with me
<deb> lol holly
<Janet> Oh! TB would LOVE a cat photo book.
<Janet> she'd carry it around with her always
<cindyc> how about little pockets for daily pills?
<Susie> Never thought of that, but you could paint any pillbox then, even plastic.
<Redstick> WE'VE ALSO GOTTEN IN SOME LITTLE BRASS PERFUME BOTTLES....I WANTED TO DO A CLASS ON DECORATING THEM TOO...BUT JUST DIDN'T HAVE TIME
<Holly> if you had one tiny enough you could attach it to a dog collar and have all the information on where they live inside
<Ivy> gotta go.. not feeling well. Sorry
<cindyc> oh good idea holly
<cak> that'll give us something to look forward to
<Susie> Oh my, those perfume bottles are TINY
<Holly> actually got a little carried away with that idea cindyc
<Redstick> THE FRONT AND BACK ARE NICE AND FLAT....FOR STAMPING OR EMBELLISHING
deb just sent HER order in
deb had to beat janet
<cindyc> a little phone/addy book inside?
<Redstick> SURE CINDYC...LIMITED ONLY BY YER IMAGINATION....
<Janet> LOL
<deb> > )
<Redstick> HOW BOUT A LITTLE PILL BOX SHRINE...ASSEMBLAGE?
<Susie> Yes, but I don't have many stamps THAT small. I guess I can use shrink plastic.
<Janet> or just use portions of big stamps
<Janet> i do that a lot
<cak> and parts of images are always intriguing
<Holly> I was thinking a pill box with the book being the schedule you're supposed to take all those pills
<cak> (ooops, Janet got to it first)
<cak> lol
<Janet> LOL
cak things Holly has to take too many pills
<cindyc> mini sewing kit?
<Holly> lol cak
<Redstick> SURE CINDYC!
<Janet> i promise you I take too many
<Holly> actually I only take vitamins
<Janet> but i can sure tell when i miss one
<Susie> OK, so on the star one, why are the pieces two different sizes, I don't get it.
deb missed hers today
<cindyc> condom container? course i ain't ever seen one....lol
<deb> and will suffer tomorrow
<Redstick> AND WE HAVE LOTS OF LITTLE IMAGES THAT WOULD WORK GREAT IN THESE BOOKS...THE SAME ONES THAT WORK WELL FOR DOMINOES
<Holly> I was thinking my father in law is always having to have us write out his list of pills for him
<cindyc> discreet
<cindyc> lol
<cak> you have to have a lovely pill box then Janet (and a masculine one for Holly's FIL)
<Froggie> Great class Red! Thanks
<Redstick> SUSIE....BY MAKING THE INNER ONE SHORTER...IT STANDS AWAY FROM THE BACK ONE...IT GIVES IT DIMENSION.
<Holly> wonderful as always Candace
<Janet> I could put a real sweet image on mine. for all those diabetic pills
<Holly> tell your mom she has nothing to worry about
<Redstick> IN LARGER TUNNEL BOOKS....THERE IS USUALLY SOMETHING STAMPED OR PAINTED THAT YOU SEE THROUGH THE HOLES
<stubby> Outstanding Red!
<Susie> But it still folds up nicely?
<cak> use a stamp/pic of a chocolate Janet?
<Susie> Each panel is just effectively a smidge smaller?
<deb> Redstick I need a personal class
<Janet> that would work :)
<Redstick> YES...YOU SNUG THE FOREDGES TOGETHER AND IT FOLDS RIGHT UP
<Susie> OK, I like it.
<deb> we need to have a sleep over at red's
