the tape was fun i have the sheets sitting on a table in my studioffice (a new word i invented). masking tape is fun, i like the sound it makes when you are using long strips of it...

there were a nice little find(especially at a buck a piece).. i still owe you package for things for the one you sent me ages ago. you might find a few pages. I know you would like the psych book because it has lots of underlined words and phrases.
the tape comes in handy for those moments when you have found nothing that fits your needs.

I have yet to find a use for them.

do you have a viewer? i had a friend whose father had loads of stereo cards and viewers, we'd sit there for hours!

i don't unfortunately. which is surprising since my folks have a small antiques business and love to go to auctions and estate sales.

Wonderful piece, and the masking tape is what really makes it feel like a looking machine. Good idea scanning in your own!

yes it does. i used to have a really nice set of tape brushes, but i lost them when my harddrive crashed a couple of months back. So i decided i would just make my own
