Could we go with a deadline to have RECEIVED instead of a deadline to go out? I think the deadline to mail out leaves too much room for problems.

"For 2016, the rule is if one of our projects is received by the wrangler more than seven days after the due date, or one of us drops out of a project for whatever reason, that person is welcome to continue posting but is not allowed to sign up for a group project again until January 1st, 2017. No exceptions. This rule applies to participants and to wranglers. This rule must be posted at the bottom of all new projects that are being wrangled so that members can thoughtfully consider whether we wish to commit to a new project. And for the purposes of clarification, if someone drops out before the deadline to sign up has been closed then they are not excluded from future projects because they are still following the rules."

nycfem 03-27-2016 07:57 PM

For anyone participating from outside the US, if May 2nd seems too early a date for projects to be received, please give a shout out prior to the sign up closing as to what date you suggest is better, and it will be applied to everyone if the consensus is that the date is reasonable.

I have a technical question. Why the hot press watercolor paper? Does it really make a difference if I tried to do a wax resist on cold press? Just curious before I go out and buy hot press. I mean if you can wax resist cloth why does cold or hot press make a difference. Please and thank you in advance for answers.

Great question CCB!!!

One of the links I saw said "hot press"...and didn't mention cold press, which is what I have a couple tablets of. I didn't "think" to look at cold vs hot...til your question...so either will work, dependent on what sort of finish you want...

Long & short of it is this.....hot press allows for a smoother finish, and one can use mixed medium on it, so it "adheres" better.

The cold press allows for a distressed look, meaning the paper has a rougher finish, so watercolors & resist may not adhere as uniformly as hot press, giving that distressed faded out look....(I love this look anyway)...:0

So, feel free to use what you have OR choose....and Have Fun my friend!!! I am excited and getting started with my medium choices...:)


I am certain whatever you choose, will be a great piece of artwork....:)

The medium can be of each crafter's own choosing......fabric, watercolor paper, cardstock paper, ATC cards...........any kind of paper that will allow for wax resist & watercolors...crayons for resist, watercolor, gesso & glue, candle wax......whatever resist you want to use.....or maybe something one of you tries/tried and found to work also....I am totally open and leave each with free reign for their choice & creativity....

ATC's are very popular with this group, so I am amenable to anyone doing them.......l would like the ATC's to be at least 2.5x3.5....be creative just HAVE FUN...

We will each make one item for each participant. If one chooses to do more than one, awesome. But one is the required number!

All typical rules are in play:

Please add $5 for repackaging and postage. I'll send my address to you once signups are complete. I will use the plastic bubble envelopes to mail back most likely.

Whatever medium one chooses if they use cloth or swatch....make these at least 6"x6" and can be up to 8" by 10" as cloth folds relatively flat for mailing...a bandanna comes in a generic size usually and also folds relatively easy for mailing.

Choose whatever medium you wish, but keep in mind the repacking & postage to mail back out....

The Un theme is a very literal....Resist & colors. It's your interpretation, so be as literal or abstract as you want to be. Any materials are accepted within reason to be able to be mailed within parameters of the postage sent in with project.

candy_coated_bitch 03-29-2016 09:00 AM

I have questions about the size. At one point you say at least 2.5 tob3.5 and then toward the bottom you say at least 6 by 6 and up to 8 by 10 but mention folding, so is the 8 by 10 just for fabric? Could you please clearly state minimum and maximum size requirements?

yes....:)

ATC's...MINIMUM size 2.5x3.5....

Paper can be somewhere in these same parameters as cloth, swatches...

Cloth, bandannas, etc...clearly need to be bigger...was just giving some ideas....wanted the cloth, swatches to be minimum 6"x6" and a maximum 8"x10"...just some parameters to use as guidelines......Just needs to be manageable for re-mailing! once I put multiples into the return envelopes....:)

Hope this helps CCB!

It helps! Sorry for all the questions!

FOR OUR CURRENT Wax Resist & Watercolors projects...
 
As we usually do, each crafter can designate which one of their pieces goes to which other crafter OR can leave it up to me.

Usually we put items in a Ziploc bag & label if it is specific for someone in particular.

No problem with questions.....all are welcomed!!!

So those who sign up make one item for each participant, for ten total if all sign up spots are filled is that correct?

After we sign up you PM with further instructions - where to mail and so on?

Do participants have to be professional artists?

What is the difference betwen wax resist and batik? I did search online but it's confusing. Are there many types of wax resist of which batik is just one, the crayons are another or...?

As long as the basic general overal theme of the piece is wax resist are we free to incorperate other elements?

Thank you for your time and help.

Correct, we have to make a minimum of one piece per participant. Some folks like to, and do, do more than one..is entirely a personal choice. (I do like those extra goodies myself...:)...)

You can choose to designate which crafter gets which piece OR leave it up to my discretion!

The finished projects must be received by me by 05/02/16!!!!

After we sign up you PM with further instructions - where to mail and so on?
Once sign ups are closed which is next Sunday, 04/03/16, I will send my address via PM's to each one signed up. Crafters inside the US send $5 cash in with their finished work for return pieces and $10 outside US.
Do participants have to be professional artists?
No......just have fun creating & enjoy the process.....:).
What is the difference betwen wax resist and batik? I did search online but it's confusing.
Batik is basically a form of dying a material....

Wax resist is just that...a resist. Anywhere on your chosen medium you mark with a crayon, or candle, or wax resist, will not take the dye when it is dyed OR watercolored, if usiang watercolors.

Are there many types of wax resist of which batik is just one, the crayons are another or...?
Wax resist is done using some type of a waxy substance. One crafter mentioned glue & gesso...I am not at all familiar with that.
One can use a candle. wax resist stick, beeswax, Vaseline can even be done on a paper cardstock then colored with watercolors and the image will not take the watercolor...
Crayons can be used to get the "resist" effect.

As long as the basic general overal theme of the piece is wax resist are we free to incorperate other elements?
Absolutely! Get creative, think outside the box, and enjoy the process. I have given carte blanche pretty much so far as medium used, type of resist used, and such.

The only real parameter is make a size of some significance.....2.5"x3.5" if doing an ATC or bigger if one chooses.

As far as material....I would want the swatch to be a minimum of 6"x6".....reason being is I want us to each get something of a significant size....:)....

Thank you for your time and help.

Most welcome...and welcome Fire! Hope you will come join us.
The projects always turn out so amazing...we have a very diverse group. Eager to see your work should you join us..come on and play with us in the PenPal project!!!


Hi Fire & welcome. I was going to send you an invite to join us!

As much as I think this will be a really fun project, I'm going to have to sit this one out. I just started a new job and it's taking all my time and energy. I will miss playing with you all, though. I'm sure I will be back with a future project.

The Un theme is a very literal....Resist & colors. It's your interpretation, so be as literal or abstract as you want to be. Any materials are accepted within reason to be able to be mailed within parameters of the postage sent in with project.

I would like to sign up, however, I need for the mailing to be taken into consideration. I can not control the exact date that something is received as even though I have paid the $33 for expedited shipping in the past which is outrageous, that little office of CUSTOMS can hold things up if they see fit. So to be set to a specific date that it is received by wrangler seems like a set up for failure. However, I do understand the problem and would suggest, for those mailing out of country that their deadline is a week earlier, as to allow the extra time for mailing.
So if this is acceptable, I'm in.. if not.. I'm out.



Wrangler: Clay

Project: Glad Rags, Paper Bags, and happy tags....


SIGNUPS OPEN! Sign up closing on 04/03/16.

"For 2016, the rule is if one of our projects is received by the wrangler more than seven days after the due date, or one of us drops out of a project for whatever reason, that person is welcome to continue posting but is not allowed to sign up for a group project again until January 1st, 2017. No exceptions. This rule applies to participants and to wranglers. This rule must be posted at the bottom of all new projects that are being wrangled so that members can thoughtfully consider whether we wish to commit to a new project. And for the purposes of clarification, if someone drops out before the deadline to sign up has been closed then they are not excluded from future projects because they are still following the rules."


The medium can be of each crafter's own choosing......fabric, watercolor paper, cardstock paper, ATC cards...........any kind of paper that will allow for wax resist & watercolors...crayons for resist, watercolor, gesso & glue, candle wax......whatever resist you want to use.....or maybe something one of you tries/tried and found to work also....I am totally open and leave each with free reign for their choice & creativity....

ATC's are very popular with this group, so I am amenable to anyone doing them.......l would like the ATC's to be at least 2.5x3.5....be creative just HAVE FUN...

We will each make one item for each participant. If one chooses to do more than one, awesome. But one is the required number!

All typical rules are in play:

Please add $5 for repackaging and postage. I'll send my address to you once signups are complete. I will use the plastic bubble envelopes to mail back most likely.

This is to get a concensus of the group on this.....paying that $33 for expedited packages is way too expensive and I do not want to see her have to do this in order to participate!!

I am open to it and would love having Breathless join us. Her work is always so amazing!!!

Those who signed up, please let me know your thoughts....as I will close signups by 600pm this evening...is this amenable to everyone else?!

Thanks...clay

nycfem 04-03-2016 07:54 AM

I'd love it for Breathless to participate. And if a week longer is needed due to her being out of the US (which is certainly reasonable), how about the due date for all of us is a week later? I think it's less complicated than having separate due dates.

Gemme 04-03-2016 08:07 AM

Agreed. It does seem easier to just stretch out the due date a week or so.

Sadly, I just learned that Hancock Fabrics is going out of sale. In addition to sewing stuff, they also have some craft stuff. It might be worth a visit if you live near one. Also, they sell online and they have $4.99 flat shipping, no minimum right now.

All typical rules are in play:

Please add $5 if you are in the US and $10 International, for repackaging and postage. Please send cash as I don't want to have to deal with checks, money orders, etc!!! Thank you for your cooperation in this...:)

Please put a slip of paper in with the package with a legible & complete return address so I can get your delicious goodies back to you...:)...thank you!

When you mail the package to me, make sure I DO NOT HAVE TO SIGN for it....please & thank you!!

I'll send my address to you in a PM soon.

I will use the plastic bubble envelopes to mail back most likely.
