Any comments on Day 8? Post 'em here! I hope to at least watch the videos today......

I wish I were home so I could watch it.

Light bulb moments for me -
Squeeze AND dab. Duh. I could never seem to get the hang of the paint dabbers. Annoying little detail - that AND word in that statement...
DAB. Duh. They are paint dabbers - not paint swipers.

ROTFLMAO - favorite Tim quote of the day - "How do I know when it's dry? Well, I touch it. If it's not wet, it's dry." He said it so deadpan, too.
(snicker/snort!)

some people will still ask him that.
I'd like to know who taught these people at school.
They have no commom sense

They certainly don't!! The idea is to experiment... which makes me want to administer a gentle slap upside the head to those who post "what will happen if I do so-and-so?" Tim is nice and always tells them to try it, but I imagine he's SO sick of being asked that.

I won't be able to view the videos until I go to lunch @ 1pm, so I'm bouncing between work and peeking into PAO.

Just got to that part and I"M ROFLMAO with you!!!! Think those he was pointedly saying it for will get the 'hint'?

surely there will be this question...
now, just to clarify Tim, if I touch it and it doesn't feel wet, that means it is dry?

I thought he was quite humorous today. And I think he said that about when it's a dry a few times just so the stupids get the message. You wonder how some people actually get through life. It's scary.

It really is scary. I mean, some of us on this board are OCD about some things (like me for instance) yet we do manage to create beautiful art and not to pull a 'stupid'.

Got distracted from the topic! I have now joined the ranks of "the dried up crackle paint society". I brought it with me and it was a solid sticky lump but I had some old fashioned crackle paint here so I used that. It's not going to have that shiny clear look with the inks because it has paint over it.
I just used regular old craft paint for all my paint needs. Having no stains, I sprayed the tag with water and then ran distress pads over it quickly. I like that technique!

Hey, I just checked the crackle paint. I had sprayed some water in it and left it. I think it is coming back to life!

I had that dried out problem with the majority of my crackle paints and Ranger replaced every one of them. I am going to thin them all out, since that was my "doh!" moment watching today's videos.... I didn't like them that thick anyway and I'm wondering if that isn't why they dried up. I bought mine when they first hit the market. I can't wait to do the fractured glass one!!!! I'm thinking I'll try it on the big butterfly die as well as a heart. A big stained glass-looking butterfly would look fabulous on my scrap room wall.

I'll have to dig out my Dabbers too and see if I can get them back to a usable state. Dang it. Tim is creating more work for me!

Thought I would read a few posts and not log in. That lasted about 5 seconds.

Marianne - I have to spritz my crackle paint almost every time. I don't mind. It always works for me, too. But how do you know if it's dry?

Because it isn't WET, Pam

ROFLMAO!! Good thing I'd already swallowed that time!!!
