Creative Chemistry Day 8
Re: Creative Chemistry Day 8
my bottle was only half full when I bought it.

Monica,
They do sell a larger jar of Rock Candy; I know because I bought it when I couldn't find the 'other' jar of RC that I bought. Then promptly found the original and now I have 2 bottles . . .
The newer, larger jar seems to be a lot more fluid than the others, so maybe they lost a bit of cash replacing some of the originals and decided to boost the moisture content? Who knows. I just want part of Tim's bank account . . .

I meant the Stickles not the Crackle.... I have the larger jar of Crackle as I have a large-ish project I want to use it on.Kellacious wrote:Monica,

I guess it would help if I actually read thoroughly before I answer
Glad I only took Advil for my shoulder and not Flexeril . . . Lord only knows what I would've read/typed on that stuff!

No worries, Kelli.... we all develop foot-in-mouth on occasion and I'll be the first to admit that I've typed a reply to something, only to find out that I must have been reading the Sanskrit version or something...

Re: Creative Chemistry Day 8
Guess I didn't read it closely enough, either, because I thought we were still talking about the Crackle!
Re: Creative Chemistry Day 8
Fine... I'll take my Stickles topic elsewhere......

Re: Creative Chemistry Day 8
Went back and revisited CC101 today to catch up on anything I missed and to get ready for class. I had some fun with crackle paint today.
The first one is the Paint Dauber Resist. I like the technique, but I think next time I'll try putting the stains on the craft sheet instead of direct to tag, I would have liked a little more subtle color.
Second is the Stained Crackle technique. I used grunge paper to cut out some leaves and then went with the technique. I added a little metallic copper distress stain at the end. We didn't have that product last time and I really like it.
Last is the Distress Crackle Resist tech and I was very happy with my results on this one. Gotta love the umbrella man though.

Re: Creative Chemistry Day 8
They look really good, Rachelle. Another thing to add to my "To Do" list when I get home-revisit Chem 101 and do Chem 102.
Have to mention-I went back and read through this whole topic. That "How do you know when it's dry" conversation still makes me laugh! Now I want to watch the videos again so I can laugh some more.
Today we are having a day off from being tourists. But I should be working on my new journal and not reading year old conversations that still make me laugh.

Re: Creative Chemistry Day 8
Good for you, Rachelle. I had the best of intentions but did not revisit 101. Now I'm signing up for 102. Should we have new threads for 102?
Re: Creative Chemistry Day 8
yes we should
I didn't go back and reviev all of 101 but I have everything printed out
