Another Adirondack dye ink sample...
and I wanted you to see how tim's new die cut flower fits perfectly with my large flower!
This gives us even MORE versatility...
I got these questions several times yesterday...
so I'll take a few minutes for just a quickie response...
I watched the pigment & pearls video and now I'm itching to try.Here you have samples with Adirondack Dyes. Here I go again: what's the difference between dyes and pigment inks??
Dye inks dry much faster...
pigments stay wet longer...
and normally they need to be heat set.
HOWEVER...Ranger's inks are unique because they are quick drying opaque pigment inks.
So... if they are used on a porous surface (cardstock, chipboard, paper, grunge) they will air dry in about 15 minutes. You can also heat set them too, instead of waiting for them to air dry.
You can also use them on non-porous surfaces & heat set them.
The dye inks are transparent...
Ranger's pigments are opaque...
so the dyes & the pigments each give a different look...
You can stamp with either.
Does one dry faster than the other?
Are they embossable?
YES...the pigments work well with embossing powders, because they stay wet to grab the embossing powders.
Can you use the perfect pearls+water mixture on dye inks too?
YES you can...mix the reinkers with Perfect Pearls...
You can also use the blending tools/foam pads to apply the dye inks...
One more question...
did you hint that Tim has a new machine coming?
YES...but he's not showing that until CHA.
Let me just say...you won't believe your eyes...
It's just what you expect from Tim...
TOTALLY innovative & over the top...
AWESOME!
It's just...pure artistic genius!
It made me weak in the knees when I saw the photo...
and I'm NOT kidding!
I can NOT WAIT to get mine!
And to clarify about his new dies...
I used them in my Big Shot & Big Shot Express...
with PERFECT results!!
but I don't have a Cuttlebug...
NOW...
a huge...
YIPPEE...
I got the final new book cover yesterday...
The bad thing is that it's a PDF format & I have no clue how to change it to a JPEG to post it here...
So, I printed it out & scanned it...
thus it's NOT a good picture...
the real deal will be cool...
but ...
since you're friends...
I wanted to show you anyway...
TA-DA...
Here's what the clarity of the REAL photos will look like...
Matt did awesome CLEAR very detailed photos...
Several have asked if book 1 & book 2 can be put into the same mailer to save on shipping $$$...
YES we (that would be Rick) can do that.
There are a few copies of book one left...
& they won't be reprinted.
On the To-Do list today...
I think this will be a fun play day.
I got 2 brand spankin' new acrylic storage binders to embellish for the 12...
new stamp releases...
yippee...
Time to make art!

Hi Wendy -
Love the new cover of your book. Waiting (impatiently) to get it in my little hands. Have fun at CHA.

That's a geat idea to have dies to make flowers. Great usage for fabric art! I always thought those funky flower stamps should have a companion punch or die.
Thank you for the explanations! Now it's all clear :)
Love the book cover - I bet I'd love the contents too!
Now where to find the money to buy all the goodies you and Tim are releasing?
I am so in love with your cover art! Everything about it is beautiful - love the face in the flower and adding those little bottles to go with your bottle image - brilliant!
I love the cover and the mix of styles you are doing. Lots of new stuff coming!!!
Oh my, I can't wait until we can order your book. Question- the scallop edge that you are using your new stamp on, how is that cut?
Love the cover of the new book. Congratulations! I can't wait to get one and the new stamps of course. Are we going to get a peek at those? We have been good here. Thanks for all of the sharing you do with us.
Congrats on your book. Beautiful art!
I love the little shelf with the bottles on .. that is too cute. Where is that from ?? Have a happy make art day :)
Wendy - Your new book cover looks FAN-TASTIC! Thanks for the enhanced picture (the other one pales in comparison...groan!)
Is the tag with the adorable butterfly something you will demo at CHA?? It is sweet! Thanks for keeping us in the loop - I love what I have seen so far. Safe travels to CHA!
I am always impressed by the colors on your projects. Just goes to show that grunge/shabby doesn't have to be blah!
Sent you an email regarding the files. :)
I don't know who'z more excited, all your fans, or you! We are all jumping up and down PIP can't wait much longer OMG, it's all so amazing!
Thanks so much for taking time to answer questions Wendy! Can;t wait for the new product! Hope you have a BLAST at CHA!
Great cover! I'm a little behind and don't remember what flower you use to make the roses. That is on my list to do this weekend. Thanks!
The cover looks great and I am loving what you are showing!!
The flowers looked great together & I love how you made the butterflies body. Actually I loved everything I saw on you blog today lol.
Loved book one, so am sure book two will be as good, if not better. Is book three coming out with the new stuff you're sneak peaking us now,or is that in book two?!! Anyhow, can't wait - when will it get to the UK, please?
I see you signed the book cover. Does that mean your hand hasn't recovered yet from signing all the covers of book 1?
Love the book cover. Post a picture of your new hair doo.

The cover of the new book makes me drool...Can't wait until it's available to order!
OOOO, I want the new book and Tim's new machine!!!
To quote Tim, "it's just like Christmas" all over again!
Wow! Between you and Tim my head feels like it's gonna explode. I want EVERYTHING. I actually feel like I NEED everything.
If you two keep it up, I'm going to have to come out of retirement and actually get a job. Yikes! I really said the "J" word.
