I carefully harvest the flower fronds, trying not to pick too many leaves or stems in the process then gathered enough to fill my dye pot 3/4 full. </p><p style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I used for the mordant aluminum acetate and a tiny rust (iron) from the bottom of the enamel vat, perhaps making it a little hint of green. We will see what it looks like when finished. I use a 10% by a weight-of-goods proportion of alum to cotton, checkout<a href="https://botanicalcolors.com/how-to-mordant/" target="_blank"> tutorial on mordanting</a> by Botanical Colors it has a great tutorial on mordanting. 1 teaspoon of Pearl Ex Interference Gold check out the video so sparkly. I kept it on the stove to a simmer (not a boil unless you want a deep russet color) for 3 hours.</p><p style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Soaked my mercerized cotton overnight in tap water at room temperature. I placed it in the simmering vat for 1hr making sure it was mostly submerged. After an hour I removed and used the towel dry method for the yarn let dry, then rinsed 3 times, created a soaking bath for 1/2hr with cedar essential oil, rinsed again toweled dry and hung up to dry. The Pearl Ex is still visible after 4 washings. Goldenrod definitely brought the sunshine it came out great.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <a href="http://nancystoreonline.com">nancystoreonline.com</a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Rose Clay along with activated charcoal are great soap ingredients for several reasons. They have great purifying qualities and introduce beautiful natural coloring to your melt and pour soap. Rose Clay is a very beautiful clay that adds a dusty rosy pink color and gentle exfoliation. Clay can be added to Melt & Pour Soap up to 1 tablespoon per pound. The easiest way to add Clay to your Soap is to mix it with a small amount of rubbing alcohol prior to adding it to your Soap Base. Creating a smooth liquid with the clay and rubbing alcohol will help keep the clay from clumping when you add it to the Soap; the rubbing alcohol will evaporate out.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #555555; font-family: "droid sans", sans-serif; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><br />
Activated Charcoal has so many cleansing and purifying properties. With charcoal, a little goes a long way. 1 teaspoon should be plenty treat it the same way using a small amount of rubbing alcohol until it dissolves</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #555555; font-family: "droid sans", sans-serif; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><br />
For a great skin nourishing soap, I used goat's milk soap base a proprietary blend from Brambleberry. Goat milk contains a certain fatty acid that helps skin prevent moisture loss and its PH is similar to that of human skin. If you want to receive all the benefits of goat milk in melt and pour soap, Goat Milk Melt and Pour Base is your best bet. If you are using Rose Absolute you would not want to waste it in the heat up process during saponification. The oil is too precious and expensive to just burn off. This soap has a lot of skin-loving ingredients that are perfect for facial skin. However, everybody’s skin is different! Some may be more sensitive than others. I would recommend trying this bar on your face and seeing what you think!</p>

I have learned that keeping the cubes small and evenly sized will help make the melting process go a little more smoothly – pun intended! When you have all the soap base all cubed, divide the base.</span></span></p>

Add rubbing alcohol until it’s well hydrated and easy to mix (up to 1 Tablespoon). Using the mini mixer or small wisk, carefully blend the charcoal to break up any clumps and get a smooth liquid consistency. Set that aside. Use the same technique for the rose clay.

Rose Oil is expensive because you need a high yield of flowers to produce a small amount of oil. Typically Steam Distillation, Rose Otto, produces a smaller yield of oil compared to solvent extraction, Rose Absolute. It is said that Bulgaria produces about 70% of all rose oil in the world, other significant areas that produce rose oil are Morocco, Iran and Turkey.</span></p><div><div><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #555555; font-family: "droid sans", sans-serif; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_zi9IP1MLlGoKB9f9oF9sJcRhzEQvQ4J1sOewZtABwu6Dy3btuZuBgQJtjzafetnWPnW4MaWkHLAyVYofGwXGx0TMHHJ_FxLu-8XcjJM4LWrmjPvCltp8-d0bX4odBMCjjDFxlu_CtMk/s495/roseclay_blog6.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Add rose otto essential oil equally to melted soap" border="0" data-original-height="277" data-original-width="495" height="179" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_zi9IP1MLlGoKB9f9oF9sJcRhzEQvQ4J1sOewZtABwu6Dy3btuZuBgQJtjzafetnWPnW4MaWkHLAyVYofGwXGx0TMHHJ_FxLu-8XcjJM4LWrmjPvCltp8-d0bX4odBMCjjDFxlu_CtMk/w320-h179/roseclay_blog6.jpg" title="Add rose otto essential oil equally to melted soap" width="320" /></a></div><div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #555555; font-family: "droid sans", sans-serif; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-top: 0px;"><span face=""droid sans" , sans-serif" style="color: #555555;"><span face=""droid sans" , sans-serif" style="color: #555555;"></span></span></div>

<br />
CLASSIC BLUE Art Yarn is a one of a kind yarn that I carded and spun. The dkweight varying to worsted weight yarn looks amazing in finished products! Handspinning and carding is a slow craft technique which results in the yarn looking very different from a machine made yarns. Coordinating hues in of Brilliant Blue, Royal Blue, whites, aqua, and black. Hints of Miyuki glass beads in blue. Firestar and Glitz create a metallic effect. This Yarn is soft.<br />
Its made out of rose fibre 55% flax 10%, viscose 10%, faux cashmere %10, merino wool 5%, firestar 5%, glitz 5%. I would use this for projects close to the skin or outerwear.You can purchase this yarn at my store <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/797748199/handspun-classic-blue-art-yarn-beaded" style="font-size: 10px;">https://www.etsy.com/listing/797748199/handspun-classic-blue-art-yarn-beaded</a> </div>

Dior and is still frequently used in many variations. It is a non-exhaustible source of inspiration for fashion designers.<span style="color: #404040;">I am using a 24" rigid heddle loom for this oblong shawl; however, the houndstooth pattern may be created in the same way on many other types of looms. You should only need to adapt it to your loom’s particular warping method. </span></span><span style="color: #444444;">Weaving the Houndstooth is the process of creating a fabric from 2 perpendicular thread sets. One set is called the warp
(vertical), the other the weft (horizontal). The weft thread crosses either over or underneath the warp threads
and the precise about rule where to cross over and where to cross underneath determines the weave type of
the fabric thus made.</span><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="color: #404040;">This </span><span face=""source sans pro" , "arial" , sans-serif" style="color: #404040;">weave is the simplest version of houndstooth – a 2×2.

The history of the Lane Cake is an American colonial cake from the south circa 1800’s. This cake is mentioned in the book To kill a Mocking Bird. This is a modified gluten free version by Nancy Tranter</span></h1></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />
<strong>Cake Batter Ingredients</strong><br />
3 cups sifted gluten free vanilla cake mix brand nuts.com<br />
1/2 cup of vegetable oil<br />
3 eggs<br />
3/4 cup of water room temp<br />
<br />
<strong>Filling Ingredients</strong><br />
8 large egg yolks, 150 grams<br />
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar, 250 grams<br />
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (65 to 67°F) /1 stick, 115 grams<br />
1/4 tsp salt<br />
1/2 cup bourbon or brandy /4 ounces/115 grams<br />
1 tsp vanilla extract<br />
1 cup finely chopped raisins, 145 grams<br />
1 cup finely chopped pecans, 115 grams<br />
1 cup grated coconut, preferably fresh, 90 grams (optional)<br />
1/2 cup finely candied pineapple, 115 grams<br />
1/2 cup finelydried apricot sulfur free, 115 grams<br />
<br />
<strong>Boiled Frosting Ingredients</strong><br />
1 cup granulated sugar, 200 grams<br />
1/3 cup water, 80 grams<br />
2 large egg whites, 60 grams<br />
¼ teaspoon cream of tartar<br />
1 tsp vanilla extract<br />
<br />
<strong>Instructions:</strong><br />
Position a rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350°F (325°F for a convection oven). Grease three 9- by 1½-inch round springform pans, line the bottoms with parchment paper or wax paper, grease again, and dust with flour.<br />
To make the batter: stir together the gluten free mix, oil, eggs, and water.<br />
Divide the batter equally between the prepared pans. Bake until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean and the cake springs back when lightly touched, 20 to 25 minutes for 3 pans<br />
Let cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove to wire racks and let cool completely, at least 1½ hours. The cake can be wrapped and stored at room temperature for up to 1 day.<br />
<img alt="lane cake gluten free an american colonial classic" src="http://nancytranter.com/images/lanecakespring.jpg" title="lane cake gluten free an american colonial classic" /><br />
<br />
<strong>To make the filling:</strong><br />
Place the egg yolks in a 2-quart saucepan and lightly beat. Add the sugar and beat until smooth. Add the butter and salt and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until thick enough to coat the back of the spoon and almost translucent, about 10 minutes. Do not boil.<br />
Remove from the heat and gradually stir in the bourbon and vanilla. Add the raisins, pecans, and, if using, coconut and pineapple. Let cool, but do not chill before spreading.<br />
<img alt="lane cake gluten free an american colonial classic" src="http://nancytranter.com/images/lanecakefill.jpg" title="lane cake gluten free an american colonial classic" /><br />
<strong>To assemble:</strong><br />
Arrange a cake layer on a serving plate and spread with a third of the filling, about 1 cup. Top with a second cake, spread with half of the remaining filling, and place the third cake layer on top. Spread the remaining filling on top. Place in a covered container.<br />
<strong>To make the frosting:</strong><br />
In a small saucepan, stir the sugar and water over low heat until dissolved. Stop stirring, increase the heat to medium-high, and boil until it reaches the soft-ball stage and registers 238°F on a candy thermometer.<br />
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat the egg whites on low speed until foamy, about 1 minute. Add the salt or cream of tartar, increase the speed to medium-high, and beat until soft peaks form, about 1 minute.<br />
In a slow, steady stream, beat in the hot syrup. Add the vanilla and beat until cool.<br />
For a 3-layer cake, spread the frosting over the sides of the cake. If not serving on the same day or for leftovers, store in the refrigerator covered.<br />

<div class="article-intro" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 50px 70px 0px;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #999999; font-size: large;">Vlada Haggerty Vs Kylie Jenner. What to Do if Someone Steals Your Design. Protecting your intellectual property has always been a difficult task and the Internet has only served to complicate matters. The web has become an unoriginal designer’s one stop shop for endless material to shamelessly ripoff. Today we’ll take a look into some of the reasons design theft is so rampant online and explore some answers to the essential question of what to do if someone steals your design.</span></h1>
</div>
</div>
<div class="article-body" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 70px;">
<h3 style="border: 0px; color: #aaaaaa; font-size: 1.5em; margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px;">
The Problem</h3><div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #666666; font-size: medium;">According to a statement from Vlada's lawyer to WWD, the logos cause public confusion. "Kylie Cosmetics sells its products under a logo that is so similar to the dripping lip art style that symbolizes Ms. Haggerty's makeup artist brand that she receives daily inquires as to whether she is associated with Kylie Cosmetics," said Stephen McArthur of the McArthur Law Firm.</span></h3><div><br /></div></div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #404040; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">
Putting your work on the web gives you next to zero control over who views that content and what they do with it. Your portfolio site could be stomping grounds for someone looking for a quick logo design, website layout, etc. One of the main issues here is that it’s so easy to just grab a piece of artwork off of someone’s site, reproduce it, sell it and never get caught. It’s also virtually impossibly to monitor this kind of theft to any successful degree without significant resources. The best you can do on your own is merely hope that no one is stealing your work and that you or someone else will notice if it ever does happen (learn how to obtain commercial protection below).</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px; color: #aaaaaa; font-size: 1.5em; margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
A Fine Line with Legal Action</h3>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #404040; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">
Another major problem is defining what exactly constitutes a theft of intellectual property. The online design community is currently obese with daily doses of “inspiration” contained in blog posts. We designers post and use this content to admittedly influence our own projects. Browsing the designs of others can give you great ideas for color schemes, theme ideas, graphical styles, layout alternatives and any number of other possibilities.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #404040; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">
However, there is an immensely fuzzy line between inspiration and theft. Exactly where that line lies is perhaps different for every designer. My best advice is to consciously avoid ripping off the ideas of others by using inspirational artwork as a leaping point for your own significantly different creation. Unfortunately, even if you’re on your best behavior, there’s still no shortage of people out there that aren’t so honest. To prove my point, let’s look at some real life examples from an artist who seems to have quite the ongoing struggle with this very issue.</div>
<h2 style="border: 0px; color: #404040; font-size: 2em; margin: 1em 0px 0.5em; padding: 0px;">
Los Angeles based makeup artist the Vlada Haggerty dripping lip art logo scandal</h2>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #404040; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">
Anyone active in the online design community has probably heard or seen a thing or two from makeup artist Vlada Haggerty. Vlada is an amazingly talented makeup artist with a <a href="https://www.vladamua.com/" style="border: 0px; color: #78a15a; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">portfolio</a> rich in edgy groundbreaking makeup artistry, Unfortunately, as Vlada has discovered, you can make people like your work so much that they want to claim it as their own. She recently encounterd multiple instances from kyliecosmetics using her intelectual property lip kits artwork completely without consent. </div>
<div class="tutorialimage" style="border: 0px; color: #404040; font-size: 1.2em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<img alt="" height="577" src="http://nancytranter.com/blog/images/vlada.jpg" width="603" /></div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #404040; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">
The intellectual property artwork above was not only ripped off, but actually uploaded to her cosmetics site to sell to consumers! The ignorance this thief showed towards the likelihood of someone finding this is quite remarkable!</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #404040; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">
<img alt="" height="208" src="http://nancytranter.com/blog/images/vladakyliestolen2.jpg" width="640" /></div>
<div class="tutorialimage" style="border: 0px; color: #404040; font-size: 1.2em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #404040; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">
As you can see in the images above, the theft isn’t always an outright copy of the art as with the previous two examples. The creative team from kyliecosmetics took the time to adjust the content a bit, no doubt to give themselves a little arguing room should they get caught. Here we see that fine line between inspiration and theft being flirted with. Some might say that the final result is different enough than the original to not justify theft. The curve of the lines, the shape of the lip line and teeth are all far too similar to los angeles based makeup artist Vladda Haggerty for kyliecosmetics to claim that the artwork is original. </div>
<h3 style="border: 0px; color: #aaaaaa; font-size: 1.5em; margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px;">
How to Respond</h3>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #404040; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">
If you find that someone has indeed used your artwork without consent, the easiest thing to do is to get mad (or even flattered) and brush it off as out of your control. The most difficult thing to do is launch a wildly expensive and drawn out legal battle that will probably cost you more money than you’ll gain. Both of these reactions are fairly undesirable and shouldn’t necessarily be your first choice. Here are a few tactics to try first.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px; color: #aaaaaa; font-size: 1.5em; margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px;">
Report It To The Site Owner</h3>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #404040; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">
If you notice the infringement on a site or something similar, odds are they have a reporting system in place and actually take copyright infringement very seriously. Give a brief argument as to why you think this represented an infringement. Mediation on the artwork is the best outcome for everyone involved. The ease of this solution makes it among the best possible, but it applies only in very specific circumstances and won’t even be an option with most infringements you encounter.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #404040; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">
<img alt="" height="257" src="http://nancytranter.com/blog/images/vladakyliestolen3.jpg" width="640" /></div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #404040; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">
</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px; color: #aaaaaa; font-size: 1.5em; margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px;">
Do Your Homework</h3>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #404040; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">
If the infringement occurs outside of a controlled community, the first thing you need to do is become aware of your rights. The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DMCA" style="border: 0px; color: #78a15a; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;">Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA)</a> seems to be the standard piece of legislation that covers you in these circumstances. You technically own the rights to your own artwork whether you’ve officially filed any paperwork to that end or not. However, possessing an actual legal copyright beforehand makes it much easier to pursue prosecution of the theft.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px; color: #aaaaaa; font-size: 1.5em; margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px;">
Write a Copyright Infringement Letter</h3>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #404040; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">
After you’ve researched a bit and understand your rights, the next step is to contact the company or individual disseminating your artwork without approval. There are guidelines set forth by the DMCA regarding what should be contained in this letter. </div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #404040; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">
Hopefully, the infringement letter will be enough to make the offender back down. If you come across as a calm professional, knowledgeable of your rights and intent on resolving the matter, you’ll find that many businesses or individuals will be eager to seek an end the situation before it becomes too serious.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px; color: #aaaaaa; font-size: 1.5em; margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px;">
Go Public</h3>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #404040; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">
One particularly interesting tactic that I discovered was to inform social media followers of the transgression. This can lead to lots of helpful advice and an all out uprising of enraged designers completely willing to flood the offender with angry emails. An angry mob is a lot harder to ignore than a lone complainer! A wonderful alternative to Kylie cosmetics that has a similar formula is <a href="https://colourpop.com/" target="_blank">Colourpop</a> the pigment is strong and it's a third of the cost.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px; color: #aaaaaa; font-size: 1.5em; margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px;">
The Big Guns</h3>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #404040; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">
Obviously, there are several scenarios where reasonable requests simply don’t appeal to unreasonable makeup mogul people. In these circumstances, you’ll have to find a decently affordable <a href="http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=copyright+attorney&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8" style="border: 0px; color: #78a15a; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;">copyright attorney</a> to back you up. Always be mindful of how much time and resources you’re willing to spend to ensure the problem is resolved.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px; color: #aaaaaa; font-size: 1.5em; margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px;">
A list of demands</h3>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #404040; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">
Upon finding out that your art has been stolen your initial reaction will no doubt be to cry out for retribution. As soon as an attorney enters the matter you might even have a tendency to start thinking about a hefty settlement. My advice for this is to analyze the situation carefully before making any demands.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #404040; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">
Obviously, the first thing to request is that your artwork be immediately removed from wherever it is being used. After this, the key question to ask yourself is how much you think the company or individual has unlawfully profited from your artwork. In some circumstances this number could be substantial but in many more instances it will be quite minimal. Try to avoid being greedy as exuberant requests will complicate matters and ensure a negative response from the person or company in question. If you’re unsure as to their profit, it is often appropriate to request a usage fee proportional to what you would’ve charged them for the art in the first place (plus a slight PIA charge of course).</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #404040; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">
Keep in mind that if your artwork is being used in a big brands commercial product, pulling it off shelves will result in serious financial setbacks for the offending company. This will of course cause them to resist heavily but if you succeed in getting the item pulled know that a little justice has been served simply by that action alone.</div>

Freely borrowing from both bourgeois and folk traditions, art deco motifs are transformed by designer techniques into my characteristic visual language.<br />
<br />
Most typically, historically recognized cathedral pressed glass beads from the Czech Republic. The ornate copper metallic texture on each side of the montana faceted bead resembles a sparkling bead cap. Excellent quality beads are made by pressing the bead in a steel mold, coating with color, then grinding and polishing each facet to reveal the base. The combination of Montana Blue and Copper is extremely rare and highly desired.<br />

4 strand Copper Clasp is adorned with saphire beads so it looks great if you choose to have it hang on the side. Copper chain and findings. </div></div></div>Nancy Tranterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09045596678811003258noreply@blogger.com
