Hubby showed an interest in colouring so bought him a colouring book with quite detailed images for Christmas! He still hasn't started it!!!

You need a wide nozzle and only make a small amount as you don't want to keep the excess.<br /><br />Might try this myself and see if it works, not sure where i found the idea so can't give credit, sorry :-) xxxmassofhairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17705859200397699568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-52133741553702989492015-03-07T09:46:09.690-06:002015-03-07T09:46:09.690-06:00I have had the SAME thing happen to me so many, ma...I have had the SAME thing happen to me so many, many times, that now the very first thing I do is use a fixative. Even though my new printer says "ink is water proof when dry" I don't take any chances.....grin.<br /><br />I like the fact you chose to print one and the other in a mirrored image, they look great together.<br /><br />Oh yes, I do wish I could get a box of 48 crayons for less than a dollar and have them be Crayola! The cheap ones from the Dollar Store are awful, I now just use them (cause the Gds won't even use them) to melt onto projects.<br /><br />I hope to get something done for J52 today, after a few more hours of work in the back yard.Krishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04573573810959229149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-91615820747835319482015-03-07T09:28:13.484-06:002015-03-07T09:28:13.484-06:00Fun to play with coloring book images...smearing i...Fun to play with coloring book images...smearing ink is never a good surprise but you worked it out nicely E!<br />oxo~*~Patty Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03953758102509632020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-84299266310940167772015-03-07T08:37:50.136-06:002015-03-07T08:37:50.136-06:00Nice pun...
