"Not a problem at all. Just do it. You'll be amazed how well it works. Have fun with it. "
Debbie Rouleau replied to Bonnie Adams's discussion QuikWood and more
"So it isn't a problem to attach AS to an already finished gourd then, right? I haven't cracked open my AS yet as I just received it and have never worked with it.
"
Rhonda Kesner replied to Bonnie Adams's discussion QuikWood and more
"Debbie, I've had to "repair' a bit too. If the piece still fits, I use super glue. If I make a new piece it just adheres as good as before the finish. I thing AS will cement itself to anything. If not, super glue it ."
Debbie Rouleau replied to Bonnie Adams's discussion QuikWood and more
"I have read through the many articles but need to know if AS can be applied to a finished gourd. Mine took a tumble and needs some repairing.
Thanks, Debbie"

Supplier News - Hobby Lobby
Starting Monday(?) Hobby Lobby is opening their on-line store for those of you without one in your area. They used to sell some items thru a second party on-line store but have launched their own now. I have a Hobby Lobby (and a Michaels) right across the river but can use their on-line store for reference. Can't wait to check it out, but I can see this costing me a lot of money....

Hi Bonnie, thank you so much for your reply about the Huichol technique. I did find the article about it and your recipe on Bonnie's newsletter: thank you very much ! I enjoy beading, so I'm going to give a try on this technique. ♥

Cynthia Lazzaretti said… Ah, I have done some research (once I got the spelling correct) and am impressed with these pens. I don't care for brush tip pens, tho I do have some old Pitt's. I may have to try one. Thanks for the help, you always have such clear descriptions of things, it really makes a difference! Regards, Cynthia

terri schmit said… hey bonnie! yes, send me information. i got some stuff from you and have actually forwarded it on to miriam joy from AZ. she's supposed to be out here for our festival so i suggested that she take in the illinois fest while she's here - she could both teach and vend. i think her husband may be having hip surgery, so she's not positive she'll make it, but maybe. i'm sure you're in AZ by now - i had to cancel my trip this year due to health issues, but will be there again next year...this is the first time i've missed it and feel bad!! enjoy!
