You don't realize how creative your mind is, for example when you said "Momma, the printing style is pretty simple. It's just called 'ink transfer' and works a bit like graphite paper." This in itself shows your creative mind. I have no idea what ink transfer is, even though you explained it, and I have no idea what graphite paper is and probably never will, and you talk of it as if it's a simple thing. I love the book and love more that it's Mama Jose's now. Thanks for sharing your creative mind with me, so I can be amashed by you.KHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15938483492913573466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19271262.post-60885682491600709852010-02-18T19:31:28.850-07:002010-02-18T19:31:28.850-07:00MUCHISIMAS GRACIAS A TODOS.
Forgive me if I admit...MUCHISIMAS GRACIAS A TODOS.<br /><br />Forgive me if I admit that finding this was timely... I needed a reminder that I could do something I liked (and something you like!) when I needed a little vote of confidence. Thanks for all your votes. ;)<br /><br />Yes, Katy, I wondered the same thing! Now I can't remember if they returned it to me still shrink wrapped, or if I shrink-wrapped it again after rejection? But the "entry card" was still in the shrink wrap too, so I doubt it.<br /><br />Momma, the printing style is pretty simple. It's just called 'ink transfer' and works a bit like graphite paper. I inked a transparency with a brayer and a certain dry ink. Then I laid it ink side-down and drew on the opposite side, so the ink transferred.<br /><br />Ka'piche?

However, I CLEARLY remember when you were making it; your ideas and sewing challenges, and my LOVING each page as you completed it! <br />GOOD FOR YOU, Mija, for finding it-(maybe by accident as you searched for something else?)and for taking the moment to pull off the wrap, and enjoy it! And special thanks for sharing so we can enjoy! Cool "Show & Tell" presentation! <br /><br />PS: Now I'm trying to remember details of that printing style, but I'm old, so help me out!Cheriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12660070077617185270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19271262.post-87599644359146862272010-02-17T19:51:41.348-07:002010-02-17T19:51:41.348-07:00oh my olivia. red thread.
