I have stamped on wood. I have painted a box using acrylic paints, then stamped and embossed using regular colorbox pads, and embossing powder. (only thing is that my embossing powder is starting to tarnish/come off a little from so much handling!) I have stamped on wood using Fabrico pads - then heat set the image with a heat gun (this works great!), then, colored the images in with pencil crayons made for coloring on wood (made by Walnut hollow - available at Michael's-i used the 50% off coupon on mine). Also, I saw Toybox Rubber Stamps was advocating stamping on wood with colorbox pads, then, heat setting with a heat gun directly, without embossing. This would give you the wide range of colors available. So far, I haven't done much in the way of putting any glazes over my stamped wood - any suggestions would be welcome.

I'm thinking of trying it, do I need to use any special ink or can I use clear embossing ink and heat it? I saw a video last night and it showed stamping on paper mache round boxes and stamping directly on wood, then coloring in. I've seen all those little wood do-it-yourself kits at Michael's and might give one a try. Any suggestions or hints before I take this plunge into yet another project?

Do differnt brand EP respond differently? I haven't used too many different brands. BUT what I do find with most colored powders is the results aren't as nice as with clear or clear based. Is this normal? Am I doing something wrong? Are some brands better than others? I find the colored ones I use to not have as nice of a finish. So I almost always use pigment ink and clear to avoid the poor results I don't like. I'd loev to hear some feedback.

I recently opened a brand new Judi-kins red EP and couldn't get it stick to anything. Except maybe scattered around the paper. It was like Mellisa (see below) said, and was really granular (great description, Melissa) rather than powdery. I tried it with a Top Boss, with gold and with black colorbox, all that work fine with other EPs. Is Judi-kins a brand that I should steer clear of???

If newbies, or the more inexperienced stmapers felt they were being judged they'd be afraid to join any swaps except among themselves!

My February package is impressive!!! Not only wonderful gifts but two beautiful collaged cards and a letter from you. I feel so special to have you as my SS :) THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! The package must have arrived on Saturday. We had been out all day and then decide to take a last minute trip to visit my parents. I didn't notice the package had been left by the door. It had fallen behind the bottled water by the door. It was a great surprise to find it there today when we returned home. The cards you collaged are so cool. I've just started to explore collage. I just had finished my submissions for a collaged box swap that Rachael Innes is hosting. Last summer I took a collage class from Sandra McCaul. Her work was featured on the cover of the first issue of Sommerset...but I digress... Anyway, back to your wonderful package...I loved the use of the cord to make a heart that frames the image of the elephant and all the great texture of the different papers along with the postage stamp and the sealing wax. The other collage with the asian images is also beautifully done. I really like the way you used a window to frame the image of the woman. I'll be stealing this idea ;) Your thoughtfulness just blows me away! I really appreciate the time you invested into the making of this package. Your generosity continues to show with this collection of the many bits and pieces that you included in this package for me to use in collage. Every item included is beautiful as well as functional; the paper (both handmade and cardstock), ribbons, cloth, envelopes, used postage stamps (foreign and domestic), silver and gold foil heart lace doilies, the map, the zip-lock bag filled with all sorts of goodies including the beads, mini jewels, and the coolest assortment of mini-vegetables, and the terrific stamps - the two Petit Fours from Hero Arts, Posh pedestal and the Rhinoceros from Rubber Stampede. I forgot to mention the feathers! These items will be added to my stash of supplies but will remain very special because I'll always be reminded of you when I survey the ever growing inventory. It's a good thing I have a stamp/sewing room to keep all my "stuff"! You must be psychic or something because you seem to know just how to add to my collections of "stuff". How can you possibly know my taste so well? This package is wonderful but I have to add that I also really enjoyed your letter. It makes this whole SS thing much more personal. During the last round of the SS swap I never received any correspondence form my SS when I got the packages. Your letter added such a special touch to the package. I loved the poem you wrote and included in last month's package too! In answer to your question about me, I teach theatre at USC. The courses I teach are stage lighting (which focuses on technology and how we use various tools in theatre lighting) and lighting design (which is the artistic application of those tools and concepts). I also work as a free-lance lighting designer and work in small theatres in the Los Angeles areas as well as other colleges. Right now I'm working at Pomona College on a production of Ibsen's Ghosts that opens in a Feb. 20th. I'm also working on two other projects the are scheduled for March as well as doing M Butterfly for Cal poly Pomona's theatre department. As you can imagine, this keeps me pretty busy but I try to spend most of my time and energy with my husband Edwin and two kids, Dana (7 yrs.) and Adam (3 1/2 yrs). This semester I only teach on Thursdays (12 to 3) and attend various planning meetings while the kids are in school. It works out pretty well because I can pick them up from school and then my husband is with them when I have to attend rehearsals in the evenings. My stamping time is somewhat limited so I try to make the most of it. I enjoy participating in swaps and have a few friends that are stampers. I try to go to the local conventions and take classes on new techniques. I really don't know how to classify my stamping style. I'm definitely not into cute. Like yourself, I do scenes. I like putting together lots of different images. I'm trying to do collage so your package is very much appreciated. I'm also trying to do more layering in my stamped work. I've also gotten interested in bookmaking. It's gotten pretty late and my fingers are refusing to type correctly. Please forgive any grammatical errors. When I'm tried my grammar and spelling skills (what little I have) go away. I just wanted to make sure I got this post off to you tonight because I've got a few busy days ahead of me this week. Your thoughtfulness and generous spirit have made a big impression on me. I am blessed to have been matched up with you. I'm looking forward to finding out who you are. I already can tell that you are unique person and I look forward to "meeting" you. Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into this package. This professor gives you an A plus!!!
