I was tempted to take a picture with the melting pot and your book propped up carefully beside it but I was too busy making sure I got the WS paper on before it cooled. I added 1/2 inch glue stick to melted UTEE but it really didn't melt into the UTEE very well, it softened/melted but you could tell where it was in the pan..and in the end I fished it out and put it out to harden on its own. I know the mfg suggests something called flex but I thought your glue stick idea sounded much more economical. Can you think of what I could have done wrong...I left it to heat and melt for quite a long time.... Maybe my glue stick was too old..do they have best before dates (smile)? However, all in all, I am really impressed with the lovely pieces I created (or at least will take credit for). So, thanks for all the inspiration. I never would have tried this before seeing all your creations.

I am amazed at your productivity. Each blog contains such beautiful creations. However, as you will see from below, I am now on a roll determined to move forward. <BR/><BR/>Have you ever tried to dye silk matawa hankies without actually using dye? I have tried to spray the very stretched out hankies with diluted acrylic paint, diluted fabric paint (a real mess...doesn't work)and then finally used fabric paint to just squeeze onto them -they now ressemble little worm like creatures! I decided to experiment with them on the embellisher as everytime I walked by them, the silk would attach itself to me. Other than the needles getting a little gooed up by the worms, it wasn't too bad an effort. Your previous tips about using embellisher on both sides saved the day. The "wrong" side looks much better. <BR/>I have now cracked open the Melting Pot so am committed. I just did a quick check of your blog to see if you had answered my previous questions about mixing the UTEE before I got started and you had! So, thanks for that...off to my first experiment with the melting pot. Hope you enjoyed your lunch with Jane.
