There are two clips I absolutely NEED!
”I’m going to be murdered because I can’t carry the 1.”
The other one I’m just vaguely remembering. I think it was Coco saying.
”I don’t want to math right now. I just want to murder.“
Do these clips exist online somewhere?
The first two photos are colors I mixed for brown. I'm sharing them because of the discussion about how to make brown. Those two colors were used in the next photo for a coffee bean seal. The last photo is two seals with dried flowers. I smudged the one on top with my finger. I thought it had hardened. Obviously it hadn't.
I made these seals directly on envelopes going out to pen pals. I have had 0 luck with getting pre-made seals to stay on, even when I rough up the back of the seal. I'm looking for new ideas because I'd really like to use my pre-made ones.
The downside is that this wouldn't get a palette knife warm enough, right?
Are the temperature settings appropriate for high/low heat waxes? They are 131˚, 149˚, and 167˚. Do you think wax would melt slower on this than with a tea candle? It seems like a flame would be hotter.
What could I put on the warmer to help hold wax spoons more stable? I think if I put them in the warming dish, they might tip.
If any of you use a warmer like this, could you take a photo so I can see how you use it with multiple spoons?
Every time I make seals, I make several. I put them on letters to my Penpals, but not sure what else to do with them. I’ve seen some boxes people have covered with seals. What else have you done with them?
This label is made available to library stewards on the LFL website. I made a post about making my own label and was surprised by the negative reactions. When such labels are promoted by the organization that supports LFLs, I’m not understanding why such labels would garner such a negative reaction.
The purpose of LFLs is to expand access to books and inspire readers, not provide a gift shop. I agree there is a place for that. But that’s not what a LFL is.
I had a sticker before this one, but have lost the file on my computer somewhere. So I made up another one this morning. I haven't had anyone take all of the books in my library since I started using stickers.
Only once did someone take all of my books. When that happened, I put a note in the Little Free Library app letting people know what happened. I said I had a camera pointed on the library so I'd know who did it if it happened again. I don't have a camera and I don't know if people who take from LFLs use the app.
So it may be that message or my stickers, a combination of both, or just luck that has caused me not to lose all of my books in one fell swoop.
I purchased Let's Resin brand acrylic markers and tried them on a few wax seals. In the first photo, the two seals at the top are the same stamp. The one on the right I used pigment powders on. On the left I used markers. I am still having a hard time getting the details of that stamp visible. It's a message in a bottle with a cork top, flying through the sky.
In the second photo, the top two seals are the same stamp. I didn't choose well on the marker color for the red one. The pair in the middle, the one on the left I tried marker over pigment and the pigment smeared making the yellow marker greenish.
These were my attempts yesterday, using new seals that arrived in the mail The one in the middle was a melted down sample I received from a wax seller. It was hot pink, lavender, and sky blue. The seal was impossible to see.
The top two were initial attempts at using dried flowers. My best attempt is on its way in the mail to a friend.
I really like the leaf stamp and look forward to using it in all seasons with different colored leaves. I ordered some acrylic markers that should arrive today. I'm curious to see how they will work on the sunflower.
I have a couple of questions about reusing wax.
Thank you for all of the ways you have helped me with this new (to me) craft. I am having fun playing.
I love the look and feel of cozy games, but I don’t usually enjoy narratives. Are there any cozy games that have a bit of strategy beyond what to plant to make the most money? And is this game available for Macs?
