You are multi-talented! Don’t give up on Stamping, though!! Close To My Heart has a complete line of acyrlic stamps that are just beautiful, and so much easier to use and clean up. I’ve uploaded some of my artwork to my blog if you want to check it out.

Good luck on your projects!

Miz Katie,
Thanks for the tips. I’ll have to keep practicing.

Unfortunately, the paint tends to scrap or peel off when you apply the hot iron to the face. Or, it burns and darkens too much. If you want to put beeswax on the face to seal it, just brush over it quickly with a little tiny bit of wax. Don’t smooth it out with the iron.

Another thing to watch out for..I don’t know if your iron does this, but if left sitting for a while my iron burns the liquid wax and it blackens. It settles down on the bottom of my iron, where I can’t see it. I forget that it does this, grab my iron and ack! I’ve put blackened wax on my painting. Depressing!!

Katelyn,

I, too, am taking Suzi Blu’s class. Your pretty girl is gorgeous. I love the hair and dress as well as the face. I am having trouble getting the shading to look smooth. I am having lines in it, even on the birch. I have been tempted to try chalk or watercolor.

If you aren’t already my friend on ning, would you like to be?

Comment on Tempest in a Tea Cup by Katey

wow, this was posted forever ago!

but I’m re designing my room alice in wonderland themed, because even though I’m 17, and i ought to be mature and responsible and blah blah blah, I’m doing it. but, i mentioned to a friend that i was doing it and I was gonna get teacups and put candles in them and melt them into the teacups, and it’d be cute, he said i should glue them to the wall, and after some consideration, I came up with this.

with the help of a rod saw, cut them in half, get some tile glue [whatever its called, like for bathrooms...] and affix them in some sort of pattern to a room divider, so its temporary.

hope this helped somehow!

Comment on Technique Fat Book Swap – Corduroy Pages by Katelyn

Vicki,
Why, yes, I am. I used a squeegee with notched cut out, but a comb with regular spacing would create a sort of similar effect, I think.

I can’t wait to see your page. It sounds like it will be great.

Are you by any chance planning to do 118 of those? I like what you are doing – do you use a special comb or just one you would buy for combing hair?

My technique is gel medium transfer and I haven’t begun yet, but I’ve been collecting interesting ephemera and pictures and patterns to use.
