Hello to all the Cafe People! I see John Clark is talking in semi-sentences. Evelyn Wood speed-speaking I believe. ... BETTER THE WORLD ~ PAY IT FORWARD ... |

Greetings friends...what shall I do now? I know! I'll hand carve stamps for use in my fabric dyeing experiments... I carved the stamps from a variety of media including silk cut lino squares (grey), cheap cutting mat (green), and ezi-carve rubber block (white). This image is an impression of the grey stamp - "Aum" or "Om". My surface was a little soft, which caused more to print than desired (the edges) but for a first effort carving and printing, I am happy with it. The paint is plain old acrylic paint with fabric fixative added to it. je suis qui je suis |

Yes, Chris, much the same. Main difference is these stamps are re-usable... I took another photo of some more practice impressions, in a different colour - its easier to see on camera :-) je suis qui je suis |

Just as I got used to it being warm... The forcast map shows a nice rain storm heading here from England. Memo: lush green means lots of rain. Carola ------- I'm multilingual - I can misunderstand people in several languages! |

Almost finished the dress...just need to put in the zip, attach the beading, and hem the skirts. Boy oh boy - I hope she likes it (biting my fingernails with nervousness). On another topic - I just love my RAC-A-LICIOUS Macbook Pro!!! je suis qui je suis |

What's not to like? From the pics you've already shown the gown is going to be gorgeous. Every girl for miles around will be beating down your door wanting one of their own. Put in one of those "take a number" things and make them order well in advance! :-) PROUD MEMBER OF Team Starfire World BOINC |

Thanks Perryjay :-) The hesitancy comes from the fact that people look at a picture, and it is sometimes a little different in real life, and because they are not dressmakers they have little understanding that it is this way. Copying a design doesn't always result in a perfect replica... rather a very similar interpretation. Anyway...its almost finished now, so I can't be worried about it now. The girl is coming over in a couple of days to do a final fitting. je suis qui je suis |

You are just to excited Magenta. It always looks better in real life especially you made it. With each crime and every kindness we birth our future. |
