Hey!! I got him!!

 

[Jessica]

I made it to the post office today--YAY!! Four packages of Virdon/Burke outfits are in transit. Let me know when you receive them please.

 

[Jessica]

Isn't that glue?

Isn't that glue?

Zap-a-gap fills the air bubbles in the resin casts.

Jess - Thx for sending out the outfits! It's going to be a POTA filled week with the wagon arriving and the threads.

ANG - The check is in the mail for the shipping. Thx again.

 

[Jessica]

I would have used Apoxie to fill in the bubbles, but zap-a-gap is easier to find at any craft store.

 

[Jessica]

Angel, where did you get those iron-ons? Is that the one where you can print it yourself?

I did not get to make the silkscreen. I am not sure if I can even find the spatula I used, but I'm sure I can find some kind of toy that would work as well.

 

[Jessica]

Maybe you could premix the colors? I've never seen that before! Wouldn't it be great to rubberize tool handles, and stuff like that...or even use it for nonslip socks? Is that what it would be used for?

 

[Jessica]

Or could you use it to create rubbery casts--like more gorilla toe-dented shoes?

 

[Jessica]

No crafting done last night for me...but on Sunday night I did sew two pairs of pants including the waistband. I just need to attach the waistband, snaps, and belt loops. Someday I will run out of this fabric, and I probably won't be making any more Virdon/Burke clothing. I will only make as many as I have fabric for.

 

[Jessica]

Aw...our inkjet printer at home sucks, and we only have lasers at work. I think they make the same type of iron-on stuff for laser printers, but I'm going to just stick to my silkscreen for now.

 

[Jessica]

I don't know what it's used for. It was near the sculpting supplies at AC Moore. I remember the directions said something about applying in thin layers. Glyphs are pretty thin. Maybe I can make The Presidents many glyphs using this product?

That would be cool! I was thinking when I get to that project someday, I was going to use thin foam and use extremely sharp scissors to cut the designs and glue using foam glue. Then I would probably use those to make a mold and casts with.

 

[Jessica]

I was thinking that since I will be removing Robert Patrick's head from my figure to replace it with Burke....I was thinking that I could try to see if I could make an ape out of him, like you did with Elta.

 

[Jessica]

C-u later.

Hasslein - Were in the world did you hear about all of this? I'd like to read about this!

Various posts from reliable sources at the Yahoo group.

I want to get the wrinkles out of my poster so I can take a picture of it and make it into a T-shirt. Does anyone know if you can iron out paper???

It's do-able. I've done it before. Use a dry iron and start with a low setting and progressively turn up the heat until you see the paper unwrinkle. Use a brown paper bag inbetween the iron and the poster as a precaution.

 

[snickertown]

SNICK - Those moccasins, that you wanted, are in the box as well...

That's great! I just mailed out the check or I would have added in the price. How much do I owe you. The timing is perfect. Thx again.

BTW, I'm not sure if you can iron out a poster. I usually stack books on the paper to get the creases out.

 

[Hasslein]

Does this guy pass for Medez?

I'm pretty sure that's the one I used.

 

[Jessica]

You can iron wrinkles out of paper. The creases will remain but they will not be as bad.

I have not seen a better photo of that, but I found these today:

I never noticed those pillows! Will have to keep that in mind when I see the show again.
