If I have a little bit left over of one colour I will put that colour in a cigar tube (glass) and when I get a little bit of the same colour from a different lot I mix the two and use it on a different scroll. The small vials he sells will cover about 50-100 sq. inches (depending on colour and technique used). Cousey up to your friendly cigar smoker and see if he/she gets cigars in single glass humidors (looks like a test tube) clean it with acetone (some tubes have a small-thin piece of cedar in them which will impart some oil) and let air dry. I use them for different dilutions of sumi for doing grisaille....NOTE: replace the cigar makers stopper with a rubber stopper (available at home base or home depot in the hardware dept.) as the ones from the cigar makers are inadequate.-JimBear ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 25 Jan 1998 08:44:15 EST From: FITCHYBEAR Subject: Re: [scribes]: Question for Caid scribes In a message dated 98-01-24 02:03:50 EST, EowynA@aol.com writes: << Talk to him nicely beforehand, and exceptions are likely to be no problem. >> the smallest I've gotten him to go was 3" the he pulled that damned dirty heraldry trick the dredded "Squint Test"-JimBear ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 25 Jan 1998 08:44:13 EST From: FITCHYBEAR Subject: Re: [scribes]: Art on Here In a message dated 98-01-23 23:25:10 EST, merouda@hotmail.com writes: << ave a server of my own and Web space that could be used for >> > this...

About a day later I'm painting and a friend drops by and comes in and says "oh someone is cooking Italian food" my why replied "no, James is just painting".-JimBear ------------------------------ End of scribes digest V1 #5 ***************************
