Up in Smoke!

If you follow some of my foolishness here at Woodstown Whimsies…

you know that I have an affinity for "coffee-stained" just about anything!

Well… if you have ever asked yourself: 
"Does he ever burn anything while attempting to age it 
and give it character?"  Here's the answer:

My "Hilde" book created for the ADQ Medieval Doll Challenge…

is proof-positive; "Yes indeed… he sometimes sets the world on fire!"

When coffee-staining, I use the microwave to "set" the stain and dry 

the piece I am working on… Well, 45 seconds was a tad too long for

Hildegard's "Simple Book of Medicine"  

Alas… it certainly does look old & worn!

(click on the pic to enlarge and really see the "aging!")

Thank You "Yankee Candle" for your sage & citrus concentrated spray;

totally (more-or-less) eliminating the smell of charred paper!

Tsk! Tsk!  Happy Daze… Daryle
