No this isn't a picture of when I was a little girl....

It's just the apple of a customer's eye.

We framed the picture about 12 years ago, and he never said anything, but he always hated the frame, and the mat "just" covered her toe.

So I "healed" the picture, printed a new one and framed it nice. He loves it. She's mid 20s now.

It just so happened that I was mounting Dupone silk several ways to try and figure out why so many people are having such a problem with this beautiful fabric.

The problem is if you touch the fabric with ANY kind of heat, the two different silks go to war with each other, causing little tiny blisters.

If you use Frank's method of wet mounting, no such problem arises. [or I should say, I haven't had any problems yet.]

The experiment continues. The test pieces are in my car....which has gone to the desert, the beachs, and to Timberline Lodge on top of Mt Hood.... still no bubbles.

Oh, yeah, the picture

Cool job Baer, and a cool way to link to the picture too! I was reading your text and thinking where did the picture go? Thought I would just trying cliking on the Graemlin, and it worked. That's a new one me for the Grumble anyhow. :cool:

Ps Now the picture is always there. You must only have to click on the little guy one time.
 
Baer, there was no picture on your first post, until I clicked on the little blue guy with his thumb up. It wasn't just a delay in loading either, as I also read Elsa's post and then went back and reread yours and thought what up no picture. As soon as I clicked on the little blue guy the pic came up instantly.

Things do get a little strange here in Grumble land from time to time. For a month now I show no new topics/post at the top of the main page but all of the new posts come up in the dropdown lists.

Thumbs up anyhow to the little blue guy!
 
I think maybe it is because he comes to us from Warped. And you thought that it's his thumb?!?! :D
