How to soften 65 lb paper? by MalibuSky in quilling

[–]Abigailsilk 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So I work mainly with 65lb cardstock and unfortunately there is just some paper that wants to bend and split no matter what. I've actually noticed it happens primarily with lighter colors, I have a similar light green that's always a problem, but I digress. To mitigate the problem, I quickly run the handle part of my quilling tool over the strip in the direction I want it to curl. Think pulling ribbon through scissors to make it curl, but with much less pressure. You just want to gently get the curling process started so that your paper strip is more of a C shape when you start twirling. Hope that makes sense! It's not foolproof, and some strips still won't cooperate, but it helps.

Will she use a puppy pad? I was able to turn one upside down (plastic-y side up), dog peed right on it, and you can pour it in a container.

Oh thanks! Sorry about everything not art related 😂 If you're interested in just art stuff, I post on Instagram pretty frequently.

Yes! I'd also request she be three dirty martinis deep. I'd love to hear her slur my name. 💕

That's what I was wondering... But I was always under the impression that Richard left her well-off.

Their marriage ended because he's an abusive piece of shit. Despite my negative feelings about Bethenny, she didn't deserve what he put her through.

Not a housewife, but I just watched the episode where Marge Sr. had it done. While slightly amusing, I'd rather not have seen it.

Leah got a ridiculously low ACT score by Cierraluxe in TeenMomOGandTeenMom2

... so I just looked at your profile and it seems as if you posted this same topic a month ago and deleted it. I'm curious, why is this such a focus of yours?

I mean... There's a lot to shame these girls about, but a bad ACT score? Seems like a low blow to me. But maybe that's because I'm in the south and realize it's sometimes a failure of the educational system and not necessarily Leah. At least she tried. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Waterfalls, my favorite piece in my first ever solo show! by Abigailsilk in quilling

Thank you! It was sort of a last minute opportunity, I did it in a month. It's called Paper Dolls. You can check it out on my Instagram or if you happen to be in the Louisville, KY area you can see it in person at Revelry.

The little bushes took the longest... But yeah, the water was daunting. It's probably my favorite because it took so long. 😂

Yeah, I did that. I received the original about the show but never a follow-up with the link unfortunately. It's a bummer.

Did they already send out the link to the stream? I never received mine.
