softness, this sounds like fun, but I probably won't participate since I've got the Reunion and moving going on this summer. I'd probably wind up losing any work I did along the way, since I'm downsizing in a major way.

I'm sure others would enjoy participating though.

Yeah...I am trapped in the house today, as they slurry seal the streets from 7AM and no driving on it till 7Am tomorrow..I will get my project post Priority Mail to Jake Tulane Sat. Am..
My excuse for whatever it is worth.

I have been dogwalking a Sheba Inu for two weeks. A friend of sherrie and I has been housebound except for doctor's appts. Driving to her house before work and after work, getting Gingko Biloba (her doggie's name) . Mary O had a joint removed, and wires in her foot for hammertoe surgery and a bunionectomy and has a big ole football sized foot.

I know she signed up on the site while recovering, so say hi to Mary O, the temporarily gimpy one. Two more weeks of no driving.

The wonderful thing, is she is vegan and has been cooking me some wonderful dinners and soups, etc.

My yard is in full bloom,, and I never ever thought of drying out the leaves.

Question...Do the flowers/leaves get stuck to the page?

Do you need to put anything between flowers/leaves and the newsprint of the phone book.

Someone once told me I needed to do them in the micrwowave?

?

I would love to preserve the bearded Iris that are from bulbs 20 years old...

Ok....so once again, I'm confused.....I thought the next wrangler was Jenn....no?

Ok, good. And thank You.

nycfem · 05-21-2010, 07:44 PM

I'll be posting the project and the sign-up on Monday

Soft*Silver · 05-21-2010, 08:16 PM

You do need to lay porous paper over and under flowers when you press them in a press, but in a phone book, the paper and ink is perfect for it.

There are some flowers and colors that dont dry well. Purple iris, depending on what color purple, might dry out brown. But be creative..that brown could be transformed into a fairy girl's hair! And the thicker the petal, or leaf the longer it takes to dry.

if you want to dry whole flowers, or bulky leaves or thick petals, there is a different way to dry them. Go to the drive thru alcohol and pop place. Or Wal Mart even has these. Ask them for the cardboard bottoms that have sides that are only about 4 inches high. Cut out the bottom, leaving about 1 to 2 inches of cardboard left. take some netting (from fabric store, fishnet?) and staple it to the bottom. Do several and as you put things in to dry, you can place one on top of the other, criss cross for best air circulation. the very bottom box has to be lifted up off the ground somehow (I just put an empty flat under it) so it too can get air circulation. Dry them in an undisturbed area. Dont over crowd them or you will get mold. Also, try not to put different types of flowers,or even diff colors of the same flower in the box or presses together unless they wont touch at all ever.

I wonder if anyone has seen this before? I am sharing LOL
I just learned about paper embroidery
I posted 2 pictures in the gallery of 4 of the cards I made.
You get patterns then punch holes in the paper
then you use thread, floss to do the patterns
you can add stickers and do cut outs etc

I decided to go ahead and post a sign up for the next group snail mail project today instead of tomorrow because work is going to be busy on Monday!

Please, as a reminder, sign up again if you were signed up for this project on the hyphen site, because I have moved the project here instead. No limit to how many sign up but I will post when the sign up has closed, so that we can know how many projects to make and get started.

This project is being wrangled by me, meaning, everything gets mailed to me and I make up the packages and send them out. Anyone reading this post right now is welcome to participate, newbies and oldies. Any questions, just ask.

The theme of this pen pal project is addictions, such as alcohol, drugs, smoking, sex, food, love, video games, coffee, drama, shopping, gambling, television, working, Internet, or addiction in general without a specific focus. It can be about your addictions past or present or an addiction of someone from your life or even a famous person or a book you liked about addiction, whatever you are comfortable with. A serious interpretation of this theme or a light-hearted approach are both welcome.

You will make one project for each person who signs up. You can make all projects the same or each one different. You can specify who on the list you want to receive each of your projects or let me decide.

As far as what each of your projects are, that's up to you but just nothing too big or heavy or bulky, since I will be mailing them out. You can make a postcard or an art project or write about it or use a photo or music, whatever you like. You can spend a short amount of time on it and keep it simple or put a lot of time into it, all up to you.

Please include five dollars for mailing costs. I will mail them out at the end of June, so please send me your projects by then, a little earlier if you can manage it. Make one less than the number of people who sign up since I won't be mailing you one that was made by you.

Sign up List:
1. nycfembbw/ Jennifer
2.
3.
4.
5.
etc.

You know it! Your ideas have always been interesting and this is something I can easily get into and out of (mentally), so that helps me too in my day to day life...if that makes sense.

It can be about your addictions past or present or an addiction of someone from your life or even a famous person or a book you liked about addiction, whatever you are comfortable with. A serious interpretation of this theme or a light-hearted approach are both welcome. You will make one project for each person who signs up. You can make all projects the same or each one different. You can specify who on the list you want to receive each of your projects or let me decide. As far as what each of your projects are, that's up to you but just nothing too big or heavy or bulky, since I will be mailing them out. You can make a postcard or an art project or write about it or use a photo or music, whatever you like. You can spend a short amount of time on it and keep it simple or put a lot of time into it, all up to you. Please include five dollars for mailing costs. I will mail them out at the end of June, so please send me your projects by then, a little earlier if you can manage it. Make one less than the number of people who sign up since I won't be mailing you one that was made by you. Sign up List: 1. nycfembbw/ Jennifer 2. Amiyesiam 3. 4. 5. etc. __________________ A year from now you will wish that you started today~Karen Lamb

Please, as a reminder, sign up again if you were signed up for this project on the hyphen site, because I have moved the project here instead. No limit to how many sign up but I will post when the sign up has closed, so that we can know how many projects to make and get started. This project is being wrangled by me, meaning, everything gets mailed to me and I make up the packages and send them out. Anyone reading this post right now is welcome to participate, newbies as well as experienced pen pals. Any questions, just ask. The theme of this pen pal project is addictions, such as alcohol, drugs, smoking, sex, food, love, video games, coffee, drama, shopping, gambling, television, working, Internet, or addiction in general without a specific focus.
