Not for Pasta Anymore!

I have spoken about Claudine Hellmuth's book, Collage Discovery. I discovered Xerography through this book and love it. In her book she suggests using a Pasta Press to burnish the copies...

I got one for FREE!!! Wee. I joined my local Freecycle and asked for one! And got it!
I wish I knew who had turned me on to Freecycle, it was one of The View readers, I am pretty sure! Either way. This week I gave away an industrial sewing machine and a beautiful treadle sewing machine. Now I have this pasta press to go play xerography with!

So now I am off to a full day in the studio, to play!

Are you going to try burnishing onto fabric with the gel medium? If so, I'll look forward to your report on this...I imagine the image would be nice and even versus doing it with the back of a spoon.
