After working with the setup and practice pen, and checking out helpful online videos and reading parts of the very complete Zing die-cutter and Make the Cut software combined manual online (available in an interactive online version here<\/a>, or a downloadable PDF version here<\/a>), I set up a page of images from various edited clipart sources for an upcoming Natural Disaster<\/em>\u00a0cup show at Crimson Laurel. Chad Youngbluth\u00a0at Accugraphics, the company that sells the Zing<\/a>, suggested that the regular red blade would be fine for cutting Tyvek. The page has many complex anchors (points) to cut, and I set it up at slow (8), double pass due to the fiber-y nature or Tyvek\u00a0(10G\u00a0weight – light), and an average force of 74, blade offset .35. It took a l-o-n-g time to cut, but cut exceedingly well. The Tyvek\u00a0was stuck\u00a0down to the Zing sticky mat for cutting.<\/p>\n

Using Tyvek\u00a0stencils of this weight on clay is more difficult than using wet paper stencils on leatherhard\u00a0ware. The back of the non-porous Tyvek\u00a0has to be\u00a0wetted, and the clay underneath damp. I don’t think this would work on late-leatherhard\u00a0ware – too dry to stick. The cups were trimmed, handles\u00a0put on,\u00a0and slipped with a white base slip (recipe for slip on the Majolica and Lowfire <\/em>\u00a0handout on my web site Handouts<\/a> page.) The cone-shaped Natural Disaster: Tornado<\/em>\u00a0cup was dipped\u00a0in slip that proved to be too thick and needed brushing out a bit. The Natural Disaster: Flood<\/em>\u00a0cup had white slip brushed on as a ground. With bad weather conditions as a theme, the atmospheric thick-thin of brushed slip works with the idea. With slip, it’s hard to tell how uniform the coverage is until it’s glazed. Even thin slip looks fairly opaque before glazing. It might be easier to do the surface first THEN put on the handle. Images from the project below. Going in the bisque today.<\/p>\n
