the Laser!

The laser printer I have found to be the cheapest and the most reliable for the baking parchment is again available cheap. At Buy.com the Samsung CLP-315 is now on sale for $141.99. This model is wireless and the price is about $50 more than the model that is not wireless.
My space is such that wireless is the only way I can manage efficiently.
I happen to use this printer for just about everything. Replacement cartridges are not cheap. The mileage is fantastic. When I do have to dig deep to buy ink, I know I will not have to do so for quite a while.

I have been quite happy with the Samsung CLP-315. I did ‘kill’ one. User abuse. So when these last went on sale in December I purchased another. The cost of the printer with the cartridge set (it comes with a full set of cartridges) just made sense!

Polymer wins again

I never did mention a recent submission to a Swarovski competition that actually won a prize! I feel especially honored after viewing the winners. And considering the fact the prize is given by Fire Mountain Gems and difficult to duplicate.
The name Trifecta came about with the help of my youngest. There are three hollow balls along with the three parts of the interactive sculpt. The scull, jaw and pedestal are not connected, therefore poseable. Often I’ll find a ball or two in the jaws, or the jaws off the pedestal. It is fun to play with. The textural effect is a nod to lichen.
