I did small but it was weird. I had to keep trying to do what I wanted and starting over. It kept seeming like I could do the simple pattern I wanted, and then it kept coming out not like it was in my mind, so I'd have to try again! Perhaps the small size might have been the issue. I did eventually get to a place I was happy with.
I mailed mine today. I had a scary experience at the post office. I put my priority mail envelope in the big "Jaws of Life" metal package holder/door, and then I did the thing where you open it back up to make sure it has gone through- and instead of having gone through, it had slipped between a very thin opening between the metal sides of the bin- such that it was trapped, half-way in and half-way out. It was tightly half way in / half way out, and I had to rip the envelope and LUCKILY I was able to get all of the Zentangles out- BARELY! I also was able to get the purchase sticker to redo! I went and told the post office employees, but of course they didn't apologize or seem to care. There was something broken that made that space where the envelope got caught and wedged in. It was so scary when I realized I couldn't pull it out! But... all's well that ends well. Still... that was a first, and hopefully a last. A worst fear coming true! Well, I rambled but I'm sure as my fellow pen friends, you get it.

Yes, yours was the only one that got caught in that actual part where the metal was holding the package halfway in and halfway out. You will see a tiny little "bite" mark on the plastic bag where somehow I was able to rescue it! But it did not get damaged :-).

Our post office has just went all to hell in a handbasket. We have those drive by drop off bins too and when there's a problem the people inside just don't know what the hell you're talking about. They act like - This can't be about us because those drop off boxes out there, not our bad. They're part of some another universe. I've never once had any postal worker, concerning those bins say - Hmm let me check that for you. Or even - Thanks for letting us know I'll put in a service request. Growing up two of my father's friends as well as a great uncle of mine were postal carriers and as far as customer service is concerned, IMO it's all been going downhill ever since. The only good news about the passage of time, at least that friend of my mother's who worked there either finally retired or croaked. She was horrid and a little mentally unstable I think. I mean she cried when they told her she couldn't live above the post office. Yeah because that's what they're going to do at the post office, build you a crow's nest. |

Any thoughts?
I bought this piece of costume jewelry, heavy silver but rusted. I colored it with a silver paint marker- and wow, it looked perfect. But silver paint markers rub off, so I had to seal it with something. I sealed it with satin mod podge. However, that caused it to show the rust again. I wonder for the future (not for this specific piece) what I should have done? I loved the look of the silver paint marker. However, what to seal it with? Maybe clear silver glitter nail polish? Any other thoughts?

I actually HATE Mod Podge and think it causes more problems than solutions and use it only for one special technique, otherwise I find spray sealants appropriate to the job are preferred. But that's just my opinion. |

I agree that Mod Podge shouldn't be used for jewelry and that spray sealants would be best in this situation.

I use it to adhere tissue paper to canvas when I want a textured background. Kind of like a papier mache. But then I paint over it.
