<Janet> hey! I named this JAM n jam goof off!
<JoyceSBS> tehshan, how did the technique go?
<tehshan> Joyce, I've got powder ALL over the bathroom, and me :)
<JoyceSBS> 2 But is it a nice background???
<Bibi> ty
<Janet> what fun!!
<JoyceSBS> 2what were you doing in the bathroom?
<tehshan> I'm still working on it. Don't think I'm doing it right. But it's really cool to see the glue bubbling up when heated.
<JoyceSBS> 2are you doing it fast?
<tehshan> I was using the heat gun in the bathroom. The RP was getting everywhere.
<JoyceSBS> 2using glossy black cardstock?
<tehshan> uh. no. missed that part.
<JoyceSBS> 2pearl ex....not radiant pearls
<tehshan> plain black text weight paper. humm.. maybe that's the problem.
<JoyceSBS> 2lol
<JoyceSBS> 2yep....that;s it!
<Cher> even as a stamper, when you said powder all over the bathroom, I was visualizing white body powder and wanted to know that new technique
<tehshan> sorry, pearl ex. that's what I'm using.
<tehshan> I feel like I'm covered in powder, hehehe.
<Cher> guess I just don't take my stamping stuff in the br often enough...lol
<debbiesDC> so what tech is this that embossing in the privy is part of it...LOL
<Janet> Gail!
<JoyceSBS> 2teshan's technique!!!!
<tehshan> how do others heat emboss without the powders getting everywhere?
<JoyceSBS> 2this should be stickin to the glue though.....no excess
<Janet> Jhone was feeling poorly so I'm taking her class. And since you're here, let's do ac duct tape
<Cher> i use an electric skillet a lot!
<tehshan> oh no. emobssing privies. we can tell it's getting late!
<debbiesDC> LOL
<Carlotta> the seat or the lid?
<Janet> or perhaps go withthe flow and teach buttwipes
<tehshan> you emboss your toilet seat?
<JoyceSBS> 2wonder if you can emboss on the toilet seat lid???
<Janet> we can't have a convention without a buttwipe class
<tehshan> buttwipes, hehehe.
<JoyceSBS> 2buttwipes...can you emboss on them??
<cak> Tradition!
<tehshan> umm.. to be honest, I don't know what a buttwipe class is.
<Teri> Amen to that !
<Carlotta> Hey, maybe I will emboss the seat lid!
<JoyceSBS> 2show us Carlotta
<debbiesDC> i dont recommend embossin the butt...just the buttwipe maybe...LOL
<Cher> you can emboss your mirror too!
<JoyceSBS> 2let's try!
<Cher> and the tiles!
<Janet> you can emboss your mirror!
<Carlotta> I'll do it tomorrow after work and take a digital pic of it!
<JoyceSBS> 2I have an old seat lid here.
<cak> (you'll love it tehshan)
<tehshan> I've been told embossing tiles are not so cool, if you are actually going to use it. hot stuf might melt the embossing?
<iamagas> you guys have way too much time on your hands
<Janet> I mailed my old toilet seat lid to a friend
<JoyceSBS> 2.why?
<Janet> back when I was shy, I left it covered in postage stamps at the post office
<Cher> hot stuff on the bathroom tiles???
<Janet> now I'd just march right in and tell 'em mail it
<tehshan> I have an extra, but I'm not embossing it. WAY to suspicious. can you imagine?
<Janet> because it was there?
<JoyceSBS> 2okay, it works........
<JoyceSBS> 2embossing a seat lid
<Carlotta> Part of the Mail Art thing? I've mailed strange stuff to see if it would get to the destination before, funniest was a pinata Bull
<cak> at least they'll know you're not hidin' anything tehshan
<Teri> You can get sealer for the tiles so they can be used in the kitchen. It is at the alternate stamp store, the Hardware Stores
* Jambalaya is off making more popcorn to pass around
<Janet> yeah, it was strange mail. I just mailed it, had decorated it with about a bazillion 6 and 8 cent stamps
<tehshan> ha ha. toilet art!
<debbiesDC> well yall...i been up since 5 am this morning
<debbiesDC> and i wants to go lie down for a spell
<cak> (that's when I went to bed)

<Bibi> sleep well, debbie
<debbiesDC> see yall next time..

<neldamc> As a Postmaster, I saw lots of things mailed in different ways, but never a toilet seat!
<Cher> "male" art...decorate the toilet seat with nudes and MAYBE they will actually put it down...to see the images!
<Teri> us? sweet?
<debbiesDC> hey girlfriend...i got yo whimp
<debbiesDC> LOL
<Janet> LOL!!
<debbiesDC> nite
<Carlotta> Niters, Debbie
<Janet> Okay, where did I leave the samples?
<iamagas> yhat's the best idea i've heard cher
<Janet> http://www.cyberstampers.com/class/janet/quick/
<Janet> i think
<Jambalaya> yep
<Bibi> yup
<Janet> y'all pick something off that page to learn, then we'll do buttwipes second
* Jambalaya passes the popcorn
<tehshan> is that velvet?
<iamagas> thanx vicki
<Carlotta> you CAN'T tell me those only took 10 minutes! They're great!
<Bibi> thanks, jam
<Janet> gail wanted to know about the silver peppers, I know.
<iamagas> jam, more butter!
* Teri adds salt to the popcorn
<Jambalaya> ooooo that stamp would look way cool on velvet janet
<Janet> more butter!
<Janet> yes! I was thinking that this afternoon
* Jambalaya pours butter on gail and janet
<iamagas> ty
<Bibi> janet, did you use that same crackle stamp on the pencil??
<Janet> and also thinking I could embroider it, too
<neldamc> The two bottom thingies - are they match boxes?
<Jambalaya> yes bibi
<Janet> no, i used a floral border stamp but not real well
<Janet> they are
<Janet> oh gee, Gail, here we are, all buttered up and noplace to go
<iamagas> what a shame
<cak> lol
<Janet> indeed
<Janet> okay, what do you all want to learn off that page?
<Teri> peppers
<Janet> (cuz I decided, second half is buttwipes)
<neldamc> Peppers
<iamagas> book
<Carlotta> I'll go with anything off the page.
<Janet> OKAY!
<Janet> GAIL, REMEMBER WE WERE TALKING ABOUT USING AIR CONDITIONING DUCT TAPE?
<iamagas> yes, i remember
<iamagas> I think I found some in my garage the other day
<Janet> THE PEPPERS ARE MADE FROM DUCT TAPE, NOT THE REGULAR KIND BUT THE KIND THEY PUT AROUND AIR CONDITIONING AND HEATING DUCTWORK
<neldamc> Cool!
<Teri> hubby stole mine to fix the dryer vent
<iamagas> dry embossed?
<Jambalaya> http://www.cyberstampers.com/class/janet/quick/
<Janet> SO GO FIND THOSE BRASS STENCILS THAT YOU HAD TO BUY AND DON'T USE THAT OFTEN
<verbstamp> y'all talkin 'bout REAL duct tape?
<Carlotta> I have some of that, unless my hubby took it outta my tool box
<Jambalaya> http://www.cyberstampers.com/class/janet/quick/
<Janet> REAL DUCT TAPE, LOOKS LIKE HEAVY DUTY FOIL WITH A STICKY BACK
<Janet> LAY YOUR BRASS STENCIL DOWN ON THE TABLE, THEN LAY A PIECE OF THE AIR CONDITIONING TAPE ON TOP OF IT
<Scout> Hubbie bought me some this aft at HOme Depot. small roll $4, large roll around $10 I think he said.
<Janet> THEN RUB IT, LIKE YOU'RE DOING A GRAVE RUBBING
<Janet> YOU CAN'T SEE THE PATTERN IN THE STENCIL, THE TAPE IS COVERING IT, BUT IF YOU RUB IT, THE DESIGN STARTS TO SHOW
<Janet> YOU CAN USE A STENCIL TOOL, OR THE BACK OF A SPOON, OR EVEN YOUR THUMB NAIL
<Teri> metal side up?
<tehshan> wouldn't your thumbnail cut thru the tape?
<Janet> ONCE THE DESIGN STARTS TO SHOW, YOU CAN ENHANCE IT WITH A STENCIL TOOL, OR WHATNOT
<Jambalaya> metal side down into stencil
<Janet> NO, USE THE BACK OF YOUR THUMB NAIL. NOT THE POINT
<Janet> METAL SIDE DOWN TO THE STENCIL, RELEASE PAPER SIDE UP
<Teri> k ty
<Janet> AND IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY DUCT TAPE, GET SOME HEAVY DUTY ALUMINUM FOIL
<iamagas> or folded foil?
<Janet> JUST TRY THIS, IT IS AWESOME.
<Janet> FOLDED FOIL WILL WORK
<iamagas> looks very cool and sounds really easy
<Janet> IT IS VERY EASY.
<Janet> AND DOES LOOK COOL
<Janet> VICKI MADE CHRISTMAS CARDS WITH THIS, SHE'S WHO TAUGHT IT TO ME
* Teri puts on her list to "steal" her tape back from hubby
<Janet> AND AFTER SHE HAD HER TREE IN THE FOIL, SHE SMOOSHED BRILLIANCE INK ONTO THE FOIL, HEAT SET IT
<Janet> AND WOW, THAT IMAGE JUST POPPED!
<Janet> http://www.cyberstampers.com/mystery/0306/
<iamagas> wait a minute -
<Cher> do you have to put foam tape or something on the back to help it not get pushed back down??
<Bibi> hi owen
<iamagas> If I put the metal side down to the stencil, doesn't the design pop out, not in?
<Jambalaya> nope, it holds up just fine
<Janet> I DON'T KNOW WHY BUT IT DOESN'T GET PUSHED BACK DOWN. IT HOLDS ITS SHAPE REALLY GOOD
<Owen> hi
<Cher> great!!
<Janet> THE DESIGN DOES COME OUT, SORT OF LIKE A BAS RELIEF SCULPTURE
<Bibi> try this instead, owen: http://www.cyberstampers.com/class/janet/quick/
<Janet> SOME RUBBER STAMPS WILL ALSO WORK, BUT THE ONES THAT ARE DEEPLY ETCHED MAKE HOLES IN YOUR FOIL
* Crawfish looks around to see who pushed
<Janet> LOL SORRY OWEN, WRONG URL IN MY BUFFER
<Janet> YOU BROKE YER PIPE, JAM
<tehshan> how do people put messages when they leave?
<Owen> Evil Janet, trying to send me away.
<Janet> TELL 'EM ABOUT PUTTING INK ON THE FOIL THINGIES
<Jambalaya> k
<Janet> THEY USE IRC SOFTWARE
<Jambalaya> put ink on foil thingies
<Janet> YEAH
<Bibi> lol
<Janet> HERE, HAVE THe caps
* Janet throws the caps at Jams
<Bibi> rotfl
<Jambalaya> SERIOUSLY, JUST SMOOSH PERMANENT INK PADS ON EMBOSSED PIECE
<Jambalaya> TILL YOU LIKE IT, THEN HEAT SET
* Janet snarfs popcorn, drinks lots of drink
* Janet sneaks out for a smoke
<Janet> http://www.cyberstampers.com/class/janet/quick/
<tehshan> smoosh, smoosh.
<Jambalaya> I LIKE TO USE AT LEAST 2 COLORS
<Janet> (sarah, we're talking about the peppers)
<Jambalaya> HEAT SETTING EACH BEFORE DOING NEXT
<Teri> lightly to just the embossed image?
<Jambalaya> IT REALLY DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THAT LIGHT
<Janet> it doesn't coat solid, though, at least not when i'm doing it
<Jambalaya> ONCE THE IMAGE IS EMBOSSED, AND STUCK DOWN TO CARDSTOCK, IT PRETTY WELL HOLDS THE SHAPE
<tehshan> I'm amazed Brilliance doesn't rub off.
<JoyceSBS> 2are we still on the peppers one?
<Jambalaya> YOU COAT THE CARDSTOCK AND ALL WITH THE INK
<Jambalaya> YES
<Jambalaya> IMAGINE THEM COLORED
<JoyceSBS> 2ty
<Jambalaya> CUZ JANETS TOO LAZY TO SCAN THE TREE I SENT HER
<Janet> lol
<Owen> Janet isn't lazy, just efficient
<tehshan> Janet, what color green did you border the peppers with?
<Janet> very efficient, not a wasted motion
* Jambalaya THROWS CAPS BACK AT JANET
<Janet> i don't remember, it was a paint chip from the hardware store
<Janet> RATS.
<tehshan> that's a big paint chip!
<Janet> YEAH, IT WAS ALMOST A FULL CARD SIZED ONE
<tehshan> or maybe it's small peppers.
<Janet> I TOOK A HANDFUL AND IT IS PRETTY SMALL PEPPERS
<Jambalaya> peppers are only about 2.5 inches high
<tehshan> images can be so deceiving... hehehe
* Jambalaya loves to shop for cardstock in the paintchip samples<g>
* rubberob slinks in and finds a seat at the back.
<Janet> LOL ME TOO!
<JoyceSBS> 2the disney paint chips are huge
<rubberob> Sorry. Hi.
<iamagas> some of my best friends are paint chips
<JoyceSBS> 2great size fro Home Depot
<Janet> HOWDY RUBBEROB!
<Janet> LOL
<Teri> Ah, the OTHER craft store!
<Janet> TRY THIS WITH YOUR BRASS STENCILS, YOU'LL LOVE IT. I'VE MADE ABOUT A BAZILLION SINCE JAMBALAYA TAUGHT ME
<JoyceSBS> 2it's amazing what you can find a home depot
<Jambalaya> it is addictive
<tehshan> gotta buy some AC duct tape first.
<Janet> OR USE ALUMINUM FOIL
<tehshan> I found some shiny thin tape. not sure what it is.
<Janet> YOU CAN EVEN RUN IT THROUGH YOUR XYRON (BEFORE YOU STENCIL IT) IF YOU WANT THE STICKY
<Janet> IT MAY WORK!
<Janet> NOW IT'S TIME FOR... TA DA! ... BUTTWIPES!!!
<Janet> http://www.cyberstampers.com/class/ggdesigns/buttwipe.html
<JoyceSBS> 2go for it Janet
<Janet> I LOVE THESE
<tehshan> too funny. you don't make the wbpage on the spot, do you?
<Janet> SHANNON GREEN TAUGHT THEM TO ME. SOME FOLKS INSIST ON CALLING THEM FAUX PAPER CASTS BUT SHANNON TOLD ME THEY WERE BUTTWIPE CARDS
<Janet> SO THEY ARE TO ME
<Janet> NO, I MADE THIS FOR A CLASS A WHILE BACK
<Bibi> omg!!!
<Janet> GG DESIGNS IS A STORE IN THE MALL, I THINK IT WAS FOR THEIR STORE OF THE WEEK WEEK
<Bibi> I'll never waste toilet paper on my butt after this
<JoyceSBS> 2do what men do,.....shake it!
<Janet> SO FOR THIS YOU NEED A NICE BLOCKY STAMP, SOME TOILET PAPER, SOME WATER AND IF YOU'VE GOT IT, SOME LIQUID STARCH
<Janet> LOL!
<Jambalaya> oh bibi, you don't use the good stuff for this though
<Bibi> LOL!
<Janet> YOU WANT TO USE THE CHEAPEST TOILET PAPER YOU CAN FIND
<JoyceSBS> 2back to the dollar store....
* Teri will never look at toilet paper the same again
<Janet> QUILTED SOFTNESS WON'T GO ON SMOOTH ON THE STAMP
<Janet> SO GET THE REALLY ROUGH KIND
<Bibi> yep, got that el cheapo in my craft room, it's very versatile
<iamagas> so how bout that stuff they have at the ball park?
<Janet> SOME OF MY BEST ONES ARE MADE FROM TOILET PAPER FROM ROMANIA
<Janet> THAT'S THE STUFF!
<tehshan> romanian tp?
<Janet> USE WRIGLEY WOOD<G>
<Teri> roflmbo
<JoyceSBS> 2can you import it?
<Janet> YEAH, SO EVERYBODY, GO TO ROMANIA AND GET TOILET PAPER, 24 ROLLS FOR A DOLLAR
<iamagas> a perfect excuse to go see my cubbies play
<Janet> I DID. I BUY TOILET PAPER ALMOST EVERYWHERE I GO THAT'S FOREIGN
<Jambalaya> janet travels the world to find craft supplies
<Janet> AND I USE IT AS PACKING AROUND THE POTTERY I ALSO BUY
<Janet> ROMANIAN TOILET PAPER IS A ROUGH EXPERIENCE. IT IS VERY CLOSE TO ITS ORIGIN AS A TREE
<Janet> YOU CAN SEE SPLINTERS, I SWEAR
<Janet> ANYWAY...
<Jambalaya> ouch
<Janet> GET YOUR STAMP AND LAY IT ON YOUR TABLE, IMAGE SIDE UP
<Janet> NOW GET YOUR TOILET PAPER...
<Cher> great projects Janet! i'm fading...so g'night. Thank you!
<iamagas> g'nite
<Janet> LAYER IT ON TOP OF YOUR STAMP, NINE LAYERS FOR SINGLE PLY AND FIVE LAYERS FOR DOUBLE PLY
<Janet> DON'T ASK ME WHY, THAT'S WHAT SHANNON TOLD ME
<Janet> AND SHANNON KNOWS HER BUTTWIPE
<iamagas> uninked?
<Janet> NOW GET YOUR SPRAY BOTTLE, IF YOU HAVE LIQUID STARCH THEN ADD SOME OF THAT TO YOUR WATER, IF YOU DON'T THEN DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT FOR NOW
<Janet> UNINKED
<Janet> AT LEAST YOUR FIRST ONE LET'S MAKE PURE
<Janet> YOU SOAK THAT TOILET PAPER DOWN REALLY GOOD AND DRIPPY
<Janet> YOUR CONCEPT HERE IS DISINTIGRATING THE TP AND REMOLDING IT IN THE SHAPE OF THE STAMP
<Janet> SO GET IT GOOD AND WET
<Janet> THEN GET A PAPER TOWEL AND MOOSH AS MUCH WATER AS YOU CAN OUT OF THE TP
<Janet> AT THE SAME TIME YOU'RE MOOSHING THE TP INTO THE GROOVES OF YOUR STAMP
<Janet> WITH ME SO FAR?
<Bibi> ja
<Teri> yep
<iamagas> yup, like paper making
<Janet> EXACTLY LIKE PAPER MAKING!
<tehshan> too..much..typing. wish I could cut and paste....
<Janet> WHEN YOU'VE SMOOSHED AS MUCH WATER OUT AS YOU CAN, SET IT ASIDE TO DRY
<JoyceSBS> 2:d
<Carlotta> You can get it from the unedited class logs on the site and cut and paste that.
<iamagas> we have not moved it off the stamp, correct?
<Janet> YOU CAN HURRY THEM ALONG WITH YOUR HEAT GUN, BUT USUALLY I JUST COVER ALL THE STAMPS I CAN FIND WITH TOILET PAPER AND THEN GO TO BED
<Janet> THEY'RE DRY IN THE MORNING
<Janet> RIGHT, THEY ARE STILL ON THE STAMP
<Janet> I DO NOT QUITE KNOW WHY, BUT THEY WON'T STICK TO THE STAMP
<Janet> THEY DRY AND POP OFF
<Janet> IF IT'S STICKING TO THE STAMP, IT'S NOT DRY YET
<Janet> AND THEN THEY ARE DONE
<Carlotta> WOuldn't that be a scary site for DH in the AM when he goes into the bathroom before going to work? FOTFLMBO
<Janet> LOL!!!
<Janet> THAT'S AS GOOD AS THE CAT LEAVING HIS HAIRBRUSH IN MIKE'S CHAIR LAST NIGHT
<Teri> Another bathroom craft
<Carlotta> <laughing harder, trying to keep pants dry>
<iamagas> this is very cool, Janet
<iamagas> now how do we color it
<Janet> YOU CAN COLOR IT IN A LOT OF DIFFERENT WAYS.
<iamagas> 1.
<Janet> YOU CAN INK THE STAMP BEFORE YOU START, THIS ENDS UP REALLY PALE AND DREAMY LOOKING
<iamagas> 2.
<Janet> YOU CAN DUST YOUR BUTTWIPES WITH POWDERED MICA
<Janet> LIKE PEARL EX THAT KIND OF STUFF
<Janet> YOU CAN PAINT THEM
<Janet> YOU CAN DROP REINKER DROPS ON THEM
<Janet> GO TO TOWN!
<Janet> I'VE EVEN GOLD LEAFED THEM
<Teri> how did you leaf them?
<Janet> NOW IF YOU LOOKED AT THE PLAIN ONES, THAT'S JUST PURE WHITE TOILET PAPER
<Jambalaya> dry chalks work well too
<iamagas> does it still absorb liquid?
<Janet> I USED A SAILOR GLUE PEN THAT DRIES TACKY WHERE I WANTED THE LEAF
<JoyceSBS> 2Teschan, I bet you've got pearl ex all over the restroom already tonight.Perfect
<Janet> LET IT DRY TACKY, THEN PUT ON THE GOLD LEAF
<Carlotta> Gold leafed buttwipe. Oh, now I am in trouble!LOL
<tehshan> I should just put tp on the bathroom floor, soak up all the Pearl Ex already there.
<Janet> IT STILL ABSORBS SOME LIQUID. INITIALLY NOT MUCH, BUT THE WETTER YOU GET THEM THE MORE THEY WILL
<Janet> I HAD A TIME WITH WATERCOLORING
<Janet> NOW GO LOOK AT THE FANCY EXAMPLES
<iamagas> for the man who has everything, gold tp
<Jambalaya> http://www.cyberstampers.com/class/janet/quick/
<Janet> LOL!!
<Janet> ON THE FANCY EXAMPLES PAGE, THE TOP BUTTWIPE, THE HOLY SPIRIT ONE, I GOLD LEAFED THE HALO
<JoyceSBS> 2nice Janet
<Janet> THE NEXT TWO I USED MARKERS ON THE STAMPS BEFORE STARTING
<Janet> SEE, IT'S NOT A REAL STRONG COLOR, JUST THE HINT
<Jambalaya> http://www.cyberstampers.com/class/ggdesigns/buttwipe.html
<Janet> SEE THE GRAPES??
<JoyceSBS> 2gotta leave you all now.....my eyes are closing. Will look at the transcript of this tomorrow.
<Janet> (OH AND THE BROWN TP IS ROMANIAN)
<Janet> SEE YA TOMORROW
<iamagas> grapes, I don't see any grapes
<Janet> THE GRAPES I PAINTED WITH LUMIERE ACRYLIC PAINT

<Jambalaya> here gail: http://www.cyberstampers.com/class/ggdesigns/bwfancy.html
<Teri> lol
<Janet> HAGGIS. SHUDDER.
<iamagas> I was on the wrong page!
<Janet> DON'T TELL HER I SAID THAT.
<Janet> OKAY, NOW YOU SEE THE GRAPES!
<JoyceSBS> 2I heard that.....I was still looking at the fancy examples...
<Janet> THAT WAS A FAILED BUTTWIPE, THE STAMP JUST WASN'T SO CLEAR ONCE i CAST IT
<Janet> OOPS
<Janet> AT LEAST I TRIED IT BEFORE I GAGGED<G>
<iamagas> okay now I see
<Janet> I FIGURED WITH THOSE GRAPES I HAD NOTHING TO LOSE, SO I PAINTED THEM. I LOVE HOW THEY TURNED OUT
* JoyceSBS is away: Off to watch wee black- faced sheep jumping over the haggis jumping over the heather in the wee glen
<Janet> LOL!!!!
<Janet> AND THE BOTTOM TWO FANCY ONES ARE WATERCOLORED
<Janet> BE REFRAINED WITH HOW MUCH WATER, THOUGH
<Bibi> ater they have dried?
<Bibi> after
<Janet> ONCE THE BUTTWIPE STARTS TO REMEMBER IT'S BUTTWIPE, IT FEATHERS THE COLOR EVERYWHERE
<neldamc> Thanks for a great class! Gotta get some sleep! Bye
<Janet> YES, THIS WAS AFTER THE BUTTWIPE HAD DRIED AND WAS OFF THE STAMP
<Janet> SEE YA NELDA
<iamagas> nice, very nice
<Janet> SO BE RESTRAINED WITH THE WATER, IF YOU WATERCOLOR THEM.
<Janet> BUT WATERCOLORED IS SO BEAUTIFUL
<Janet> ANY QUESTIONS?
<Teri> does it loose its image cast if you use too much water?
<Janet> THAT FLOWERED ONE STARTED TO
<Bibi> do you watercolor after they have dried?
<Janet> SO i PUT IT BACK ON THE STAMP TO LET THE PAINT DRY
<Janet> YES, AFTER THEY'VE DRIED.
<Bibi> k
<Janet> THE DUCK STAMP, THAT'S FROM APPALOOSA BY THE WAY, IT DIDN'T GIVE ME TROUBLE, I'D ALREADY FOUGHT THE FLOWERED ONE
<Janet> I KNEW NOT TO USE MUCH WATER OR PAINT
<Janet> THESE ALSO LOOK COOL WITH A SPOT OF GLITTER HERE AND THERE
<Janet> AND WITH CHALKS!!!
<Teri> do you "have" to use starch?
<Janet> CHALK AND TOILET PAPER JUST GO TOGETHER
<Bibi> er.......you leave them to dry ON the stamp?
<Janet> YOU DON'T HAVE TO. THE LIQUID STARCH MAKES THEM STIFFER
<Janet> YES, I LEAVE THEM TO DRY ON THE STAMP
<Janet> USUALLY OVER NIGHT
<Bibi> IC
<Janet> CUZ IT'S LATE AT NIGHT WHEN I DECIDE I WANT TO MAKE THEM
<Janet> ALWAYS

* Teri has no money to buy starch since convention started
<Janet> SOMEHOW THIS IS NOT A MORNING PROJECT FOR ME
<Janet> LOL TERI. I HEAR YA
<Jambalaya> starch is pretty cheap<g>
<Teri> have you ever seen a credit card melt?
<Janet> YEAH, COUPLE BUCKS FOR MORE STARCH THAN YOU'LL USE IN A LIFETIME

<iamagas> not spray starch,liquid?
<Janet> OH YEAH, TERI, I SEE IT THREE TIMES A YEAR AT CONVENTION<G>
<Jambalaya> and since you get it at the grocery, you count it with food budget, not stamping budget
<Bibi> starch - like you use for ironing shirts, or the food starch?
<Janet> MUST BE LIQUID.
<Teri> roflmbo!!!!!

<Janet> THE PENCIL?

<iamagas> embossed?
<Teri> quick gifts
<Janet> THAT'S A PLAIN WOODEN PENCIL, I ROLLED IT ON AN INKED STAMP AND EMBOSSED IT
<Janet> YEP, WITH EMBOSSING POWDER
<Janet> THE ONLY TRICK IS DON'T TRY TO STAMP THE PENCIL, ROLL THE PENCIL ON THE STAMP
<Star> you are an embossing enabler
<Janet> THEN DIP IT IN EP
<Janet> LOL
<Bibi> janet
<iamagas> how do you not burn your fingers when heat setting?
<Janet> YES?

<Tarotmama> jam, did you jam me?
<Jambalaya> uhhhh nope
<iamagas> thanks Janet, you're so talented
<iamagas> No I have a totally unrelated question
<Star> question for those in charge.....???
<Janet> I'M TALENTED AT LEARNING FROM CREATIVE PEOPLE AND REPEATING WHAT I WAS TOLD.
<Janet> those in charge? utoh
<iamagas> for anyone
* Janet hides
<Janet> yeah?
<iamagas> Does anyone know how to refresh dried out gel pens
<Janet> try dripping water? alcohol? into the tops
<Tarotmama> buy new ones
<Star> is there a specific place that I can see all the vendor specials without clicking on each vendor separately and then entering their booth?
<Bibi> leave in hot water? (I never tried)
<Janet> yeah, i'd buy new ones
<Janet> no, they are all spread out in their booths
<Tarotmama> I think gel pens have glycerine in them
<Janet> but enjoy the looking at the booths! they are things of beauty
<Janet> oh then drop glycerine
<Janet> you can get it at the pharmacy
<Star> true, but sometimes I just want to know what is on sale
<iamagas> Okay, I'll try all those remedies, then go buy new ones.
<Janet> between 'em all, almost everything is
<iamagas> you guys are so helpful!
<Janet> LOL
<Janet> we ARE
<iamagas> on that note, I'm outta here
<Bibi> about the pens, sometimes ink dries just on the tip, put it in your mouth to heat it up (works with reg. ballpens anyway)
<Janet> see you all tomorrow. I think I have a pouty husband who thinks I've been telling tales in here
<iamagas> No, I can see its dried out in the barrel
<Janet> yeah and if it works you won't really mind having magenta lips
<Star> lol...give him some inspiration
<iamagas> of course not!
<iamagas> see ya's
