My DH has been so busy in his workshop & I have been trying out some of the pins I have been finding.
The technique Pinterest talks about mounts wax paper or parchment paper on an 8 1/2" x 11" regular copy paper to feed through your printer. You need a slick surface to go through the printer so the ink is not absorbed in to paper. The ink just sits on top & can be rubbed on the wood as you can see above. Brilliant! Well, the Grafix sheets are all set to go with a slick surface on a fairly stable paper. I had to do nothing except find a design, size it &, the most IMPORTANT thing...reverse the design with words. Yep, found out the hard way, but the beauty of it, the sheet can be used over & over by simply wiping away the leftover ink on the sheet with a damp paper towel & wood can be sanded to fix my mistake(s). I did all the sizing & reversing using Photoshop.
DH made a lot of what he calls "mini signs" so I can't wait to do more!
