Once in a while, a new glass press can give you a bit of a fit. The glass just doesn't seem to be going in the way you think it should.
I was just having this conversation with a friend and took this photo to illustrate what I was trying to explain to her.
You see, my trick is to take a little piece of playdoh, and figure out the new press with it. I'll see how large my initial glass shape needs to be and then where I need to add more glass and how. If I might need help remembering, I'll let some of the playdoh examples dry out, and store them with the press. That way, I have a visual frame of reference, when I next go to use it.
I use playdoh for other things in the studio. We'll chat about them another time. Just thought I'd mention this use for now. Do you keep it around too? What do you use it for?
that is a GREAT idea - presses are sorta a p.i.t.a like that. Playdoh R&D! nicely done Marcy!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I never would have thought of that!! Thats a great press too - I am waiting for the multi tool at the moment, going to get this heart press when it is available!
ReplyDeleteThanks Marcy!!
teacups down. swallow what is in your mouth.
ReplyDeletemy daughter made me a batch of playdough so we could make replicas in the right measurements, according to the pathology reports on the chunks of me that were chopped out during my lumpectomy. Playdough is sooooo versatile!
Now Melanie, that is a new idea. I'm glad you included the warning. Wishing you good health, hon....
