One way to eliminate the wrinkles in the waxed paper and clay when you are rolling it out very thinly is to separate the clay from both pieces of paper before you roll it through.

If I am intending to roll out a piece of clay at #7 on my Atlas, I put a piece of clay at #5 between two pieces of waxed paper leaving about 1" of paper tail at the bottom. Stick the paper into the machine at # 5 up to the clay. Now turn your knob to #7. Separate the clay from both pieces of paper and roll through. You might get an occasional small wrinkle but it sure helps to reduce them.

Dear Editor:

Man, do I love this site. I can't believe how generous people are with their directions. Thank you all. Hopefully when I retire I will be able to really play in the clay. Now it's hit and miss.

Hi all:

I have the same cutter Bob Wiley used in his faux woodgrain box in the June issue, and I just can't seem to get an intact cutout because of the intricate pattern. I've tried cornstarch and other release agents. Would Bob please share some hints for releasing the cut shape from these maddeningly intricate cutters?

Dear Hchina4:

Consider yourself on the list. Good for you for making the doll. Doll makers are incredible, I think. The breadth of imagination and the talent I see in each doll, troll, fairy, etc. always amazes me.

Dear Editor:

Thanks so much for Polyzine -- it's a great magazine. I'm always inspired by the projects shown here. I missed February's issue, but I don't see a way on your webpages to get to past issues. Can you help?

Hi!

I'm very new to PC work and just discovered your 'zine. What a find!

Your Final Word had to be shared with another newbie. Your Issues was so moving. I printed some of the other articles, but didn't print the Troll article or the Pendant article. Since the Troll article is part III, I didn't think it would be much good to me without parts II and I. The pendant article is just too advanced for me right now.

Is there someplace where I can go for back issues???

Anyway, thanks for sharing your wealth of information and your feelings with those of us out in E-land.

Bye for now, Rose Ann
