I just love it when life synchronizes problems with answers like this! :) Thanks :)…now, back to the last page I was on so I can thank you there for the storage tip :)

Sincerely…and with hugs :)

I noticed you have relisted some of these recipes. I thought I joined as a paid member to get all previous recipes; I bought some back issues. I am trying to do something SteamPunk. Is there any way to get access to True Gold, Tarnished Silver, Aged Bronze, New Copper. Thanks.

Hi Anna,

I responded to a similar question about how the recipes work on another unrelated post. You can click on the "Photo Transfer Tutorial" link by my name above for that explanation.

In regards to the Aged Bronze Recipe (Vol-002-2B) and True Gold (Vol-002-5B)… they have been released already. If you have been keeping a folder for the weekly emails I send (a good idea to get in the habit of doing), you will find the links there.

Or if you like, you can take the time to search through the blog for the treasure hunt clues. They are all still posted.

Plus, I occasionally send out summary emails with a whole road map of links to past recipes… like I did a couple of weeks ago.

The Tarnished Silver Recipe (Vol-004-2B) and New Copper (Vol-005-3B) have not been released yet and will be available in the coming weeks.
