Great resource page.
For those doing ShrinkyDinks for gimmies - one of my monster boxes
has some for which I carved a big stamp to stamp the plastic - I used
pigment cause it said it was good for shrink plastic -- and it was
but I had to leave the sheets to dry overnite before baking!!!
(please excuse my smears when you get to Mansfield). Then I colored
in some portions with color pens for rubberstamping. The orange
stuck to the parchment so I don't think it liked the heat from the
oven, or maybe it wasn't dry? Fortunately only very small portions
with the pen ink so they still looked fine. Had I taken more time I
would have acrylic painted the small portions.
Enough about me, back to the posts . . . .and are the hot topics
called PostToasties when the flame dies down?
