Smooshed Acetate Demonstration

Olga did a wonderful demonstration called Smooshed Acetate for our February meeting. She recommends using the Pledge clear floor shine. Put it in a misting bottles. Mist your acetate (transparency) with the floor shine.

Then mist on a mixture of alcohol and re-inkers. You can use several colors.

You can also use a paint brush to move the colors around after misting.

Next take a piece of tissue paper, crumple it up, then smooth it back out. Lay it over the wet ink.

Use a second piece of crumpled tissue to smoosh the first tissue into the wet ink until all of the tissue has absorbed the moisture.

More smooshing to get all the tissue covered with the ink.

This is what it will look like. Now let it dry.

You can also use watercolor crayons instead of re-inkers.

Mist with the floor shine.

Here are finished samples using different colors.

January SASSSC Club Meeting

Mary was in charge of our food this time and she did a WONDERFUL job making us Omlets. Thanks Mary, they were DELICIOUS!

We had a buffet style line with Mary cooking feverishly. :)

Like always, we had a great time chatting with each other.

Here are some pictures as we were getting started with the meeting.

We ended up with 2 door prizes this month...due to a mix-up with the responsibility list on the blog. Our winners were Crystal and Olga. It's a good thing they didn't have to be present to win. We always miss our group members that can't make it.
