UV Spray

My next experiment was actually to use Krylon’s “Preserve It” to spray my recently printed silkies. I experimented on the “Three Mary’s” since I felt I had used too much color saturation. If it ruined it, I wasn’t going to use it anyway. It didn’t, so yesterday I sprayed the print of Jesus as the Good Shepherd.

The only misgivings I have about the spray is it contains toluene. Because Hurricane Sandy was afoot, (we only got wrap around winds, here,) I sprayed it in the basement, but made sure I scotched the door open for ventilation.

My next experiment

My next experiment

I made it to the doctor yesterday, and when the storm is passed and I’m feeling better, I’m going to try to dehydrate some zuchinni. (I forgot to mention that I’ve got to start a low cholestrol diet.) Here are the directions I found from the University of Missouri Extension:

Dehydrated zucchini Choose young, slender zucchini. Wash zucchini and cut into 1/4-inch slices for cooking purposes or 1/8-inch slices for chips. Dry in a single layer in a 125° oven until brittle. Use slices in soups and casseroles or sprinkle zucchini chips with seasoned salt and serve with dips.
