two questions
Mar. 17th, 2006 03:34 pmI tried to find some answers in the memories section, but I didn't see anything similar.
1) I would like to try making little scent lockets out of polymer clay. It is basically a little cage or box on a necklace into which a wool/felt/cotton pad soaked with a perfume oil will be held. However, I have no idea if the essential oils in the perfume will work with the polymer clay medium. Will they just dissolve the clay over time? I just thought I'd ask here before I attempted something that could potentially fall apart and make me sad.
2) I recently bought a print Gocco (probably one of the last in the US!). I've skimmed through the instructions, but I'm a little confused about a few things, since I've never done screen printing of any sort before. Can I reuse the screens? Does anyone know of the maximum print dimensions offhand? and/or does anyone have any templates for business cards? I'd like to make some temporary ones until I get my 4-color ones printed.
Thanks!!! =)
