I got a new Roku stick and was able to set up my old tv, in the basement.
Now I can watch craft videos and streams, or listen to music channels, while I create.
Internet reception is great down there, by the way. (Radio reception, not so much.) Now if only the space heater I bought worked as well! Never mind, summer is coming!
The big screen is a large tv from my friend, Laura. We love You Tube art and craft videos, and when we’re at my house, in the den/study, we’ve been watching on a very small tv. We might as well set up an iPad.
Froyle is Froyle Davies, the first gel print artist that I ever watched. She turns her gel prints into fantastic collages!
She is a joy to watch! She is animated and full of laughter. Her New Zealand accent is icing on the cake.
I watched this episode first, today.
She compared three weights of Gelelf’s new image transfer papers.
They all worked beautifully.
This was an image of her lovely daughter.
To learn how to transfer images onto the gel plate, be sure to watch this episode. Warning: she makes it look easy. It’s not! I’ve had two successful image transfers. I’ll share them another time.
I’m going to try, again, and send you all good wishes if you decide to give it a go!
I love my new HDMI cable! Our big TV was a gift for my husband from our son-in-law. It has an HDMI port, and so does my laptop. Today, I watched a downloaded, purchased episode of “Quilting Arts” on the big TV. I also used the cable to enlarge picture proofs of my grandson on a school photography website.
Set-up is easy. Both ends of the HDMI cable are the same. Plug one end into the port on the TV. Plug the other end into the port on the computer. Using the remote for the TV, push the “INPUT” button.
A screen like this should pop up on the TV. Use the arrows on the remote to highlight, “HDMI.” Push, “ENTER.”
The TV screen should then be a duplicate of the computer screen! Use the keys on the computer to manipulate the images on the TV screen.
I used this technology years ago to show my students the computer screen (Apple IIe, anybody?) on the classroom TV. Back then, though, I used a “frequency modulator box” to connect the two. It’s great to be able to do this, again!
(Oooh, just think how great this will be when I need to see a small detail of a pattern or graph!)
