Now on to other business. Grace asked how to use a laser printer to cut a Thermofax stencil. Uh- it's not that simple. First, you need a Thermofax Assuming you have one, or access to one, you need special Thermofax screen, available only from Welsh Products in California. I was going to show you how I make my screens, but I left them all in the studio and forgot to take pictures. We are expecting snow tonight into tomorrow, so I guess this will have to wait till later in the week. Oops.
Shall I go onto another topic or just forget it and go watch the Oscars? Maybe. I DID take pictures of my steaming process the other night while I was steaming a bunch of things I had printed with thickened dyes. But I think I'll save that till tomorrow, too. I shall, instead, either go bake cookies, use my new sewing machine, or read a smarmy novel. Come back tomorrow night; I will probably be here.

I am watching the oscars!! snowing here on Long Island!
snowing here in NJ, too. I baked cookies, sewed a facing on a quilt, and am listening to madrigals on WNYC. Perfect accompaniment to snow.
If it helps any, Gerrie did a good how to on thermofaxes last year:

But for me the questions is.. where does one find access to a thermofax machine (if one doesn't wish to own a machine?)
Debra - stay tuned. And everybody else - if Gerrie did a good job, I guess I don't need to reinvent the wheel. Follow Debra's link.
