Oh I have watched it 5 times now and have my schedule setup to watch it several more times throughout the next couple days.

Now THAT'S the way to really be serious about this important vaping tool!

Also, blue is the "real" miniscrewdriver color ... red, steel, green are all clones. Don't be fooled!

Whoa you're telling me they also come in red??? Man I have some serious decisions to make.

Flamming Tutu has a red one but there's some question as to it's "authenticity" so be very careful if you choose to go that route.

According to my dogs, just one.

Grey.:?:

Man oh man! Where does it all end?

Now there's a GREY one too? What color Grey? And it that grey with an "e" or gray with an "a"??? Because if it is grey with an "e" I'm going to have to include all the UK sites as well in my search. I have no contacts overseas who can point me in the right direction for an "authentic" GREY mini screwdriver. WHAT SHALL I DO? (wringing my hands in dismay).

No one from the UK is posting anything in the Classies.:(

I take it you've read it then. ;) I haven't. Was I inappropriate? Robin hasn't threatened to execute me yet...
Hmmm
Just got here. Good books BTW :evil:
That's as far as we are going to take That conversation :lol:
No, I haven't read it but I do hear things.;)

To keep this "family friendly" K-Tech's dog's could just "point" to the shade of grey/gray in a pantone swatch book.

Good idea. Mine will only look at Lassie books.

Have you ever tried to use one of those? I did once in college. Do you have any idea how many colors or dirt there are?

ETA And if I'd had my trusty counterfeit screwdriver I might have just smeared a couple of colors together to make it easier. Yay, back on topic.

Colors of dirt, more than 50 I would say!:)

I used to use paint swatches often (when my hands worked). I'm a "mostly former" rubber stampaholic! We use EVERYTHING in pursuit of the PERFECT card. No paint swatch in this one but lots of stamps!:)

Those rubber stamps are cool! Never could afford to get into it, plus not that artistic. Wish I was. The dirt was a something like 6' x 6' x 10' archaeological pit. Had to sketch it and then match every color in there. Starts out okay but after 45 minutes or so you start going color blind. Think vaper's tongue of the eyes. It was a nightmare.

Not sure how to get screwdriver into this one.

ETA Did you make that?

I'm with you on the tediousness of sketching "dirt". I would not have the patience either.

Yes, I made and designed the card for a "monthly swap group" I was in years ago. However, you don't have to be "artistic" to rubber stamp. I certainly wasn't when I first started. I became a StampinUp demonstrator just to learn and support my stamping habit. Over time (and lots of practice) I could finally design a card I was happy with. Nowadays my preference is to CASE (copy & steal everything) when I stamp. It's an acceptable practice in the rubber stamping field as long as you are not taking credit for the design.

If you want to see some "real artists" check out some of the pins I have on my boards. Nowadays I don't create "original art". When I do stamp I just find something I have pinned and go from there.

Wow, you do nice work! Really nice. The ones at the link I can't even imagine the work that goes into some of those. Thank you for sharing those. Still trying to keep my jaw from hanging open. What I can't understand at all is how you got a hold of my picture and posted it on there.

Still, I'd think you'd have to have the patience of a saint to do some of that work.

Thank you, BUT most all of the pins were designed and made by other stampers. I can duplicate their work but some of it does take some time (even for an able bodied stamper). It goes much faster when you do 10 of one design at a time.

What I can't understand at all is how you got a hold of my picture and posted it on there.

Ohh ...... if I had only know that was you! Now I can put your name on that photo!;) And here's a video of you as a baby. I see you always did love your broccoli!
