These were made using the Tim Holtz Tattered Flowers die and My Mind's Eye flocked paper and while I thought they were pretty cool before I glazed them, I really like how they turned out after being coated with UTEE. The UTEE thing has a bit of a learning curve, I've found. One of my peeps and I were playing with her mom's melting pot and almost a whole pound of UTEE to learn that
- Work fast, this stuff cools quickly
- Work fast, it scorches in the pot and turns yellow
- Don't work too fast, it's really hot and burns are a bitch
- Make sure you use the right setting on the pot
- Don't use the heat gun to speed up the melting process, it makes a HUGE mess
- Not everything looks good dipped in the stuff - felt for instance. Flocked paper leaves fuzzies behind too
