Ransom Posted February 23, 2009 Author Posted February 23, 2009 I'll keep a look out for them, Chrispy. BTW, just a reminder that all cards must be in the mail by Saturday. Also, I haven't heard from most of you, so it would be nice if everyone chimed in to let me know how things are going. I've got the extra goodies all lined up, ready to include in your return packets...just fun stuff. ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold... You can do everything right, strictly according to procedure, on the ocean, and it'll still kill you. But if you're a good navigator, a least you'll know where you were when you died.......From The Ship Killer by Justin Scott.

Patrick Hand Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 I still have to gold leaf the Candie cards, then they are ready to mail, along with my Patrick Hand cards....
Sjöröveren Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 I still haven't started mine, but they shouldn't take long. I'll try to go get some proper paper today. the Fool's Gold Pirates
Patrick Hand Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Dang... I should be gold leafing the Candie Cards..... not reading and posting here...... Oh well... I still have a few more days.........
Sjöröveren Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 (edited) I finished mine, but I have a question. They're water colors, and I haven't done those in a long time. Is there some fixative or clear-coat that I should put on them? Gesso or something? Also, Ransom, PM me with the address to send it to. Edited February 26, 2009 by Sjöröveren the Fool's Gold Pirates
Ransom Posted February 26, 2009 Author Posted February 26, 2009 I finished mine, but I have a question. They're water colors, and I haven't done those in a long time. Is there some fixative or clear-coat that I should put on them? Gesso or something? Also, Ransom, PM me with the address to send it to. When they are dry, you can spray them with Krylon fixative. It is sold in most art/craft stores. It comes in a matt or glossy finish. You might also want to put slips of wax paper in between each card, to keep them from sticking or smearing. ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

Patrick Hand Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Or if you're really cheap..... just use unscented hair spray....... (Dang.... women spray that lacquer on their hair?..... )
Sjöröveren Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Thanks to both of you for the quick replies! I think I'll go the cheap route. Pinching every penny these days. the Fool's Gold Pirates
Ransom Posted February 26, 2009 Author Posted February 26, 2009 Actually, I'd forgotten about the hairspray.

Sjöröveren Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 I used hair spray, and it worked great. Now, if it would only stop snowing, I could get these in the mail! the Fool's Gold Pirates

Sjöröveren Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Sent mine this morning, just under the wire! the Fool's Gold Pirates
Patrick Hand Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 You threw away all that great envelope art!!!!!! Cad! LOL Well... I was cutting out (well tearing, but I could trim them later...) the larger parts..... I was going to use them for a secret project.... but my roof leaks, they got wet, and had to go to the dump..... I figured it would be easier to say I threw them out than to explain that a cool project hadda get scraped....
Ransom Posted March 1, 2009 Author Posted March 1, 2009 Okay, then I forgive you! BTW, I know most of you have mailed your cards, especially Cannibal Chrispy and Rusty Nell, whom I think mailed theirs about a week ago. So far I have received no cards in the mail. Did you send them priority, or at a slower rate? I sure don't want to lose anyone's artwork!!!!! Let me know approximate dates that you mailed them out. Thanks! ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold... You can do everything right, strictly according to procedure, on the ocean, and it'll still kill you.

Mine were sent out 2/28 from a post office, via regular mail. You should see them by Wed. or Thursday of this week, I would guess. I scanned them too, so if they do go missing, I can come up with substitutes. Edited March 1, 2009 by Sjöröveren the Fool's Gold Pirates
