Anyway, it is fun, I can see why people like to do it. The only thing that held me back from doing it, were the rocks themselves. Where I use to live, only ugly rocks lived there. lol You know what I mean. Then I moved to my new house and come to find out, the land my house sits on use to be a rock quarry. I now have a plethora of beautiful, smooth rocks to choose from, mostly round-ish, which is why I seem to be attracted to shaped rocks. I mean, I'm not happy unless I make it difficult on myself it seems. <insert sigh> So, I keep a look out for heart shaped rocks of any size, as long as it has a good natural heart shape to it.</p><p style="text-align: center;">This is the first one I painted, as a gift for one of my neighbors. </p><p style="text-align: center;">Consider me hooked.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizoVpU-RoBGveyD4Crg_7f0b-lpXlXWfsY0EmmX1FGytEya9IVF0_1ktSHenFBctgPgYv_I0OLbAZeQ4JZ_hYwfAAYC_368V6Gzb-IMn2Monyhf2I7aDIXBdeFpa2gHZAUXxyO7yYp0duY4GeOGa5b67UtbDN-vrDFUSX28EnSikQyQ6yQQB13JB_x/s2752/IMG_20220213_134957619.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2752" data-original-width="2752" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizoVpU-RoBGveyD4Crg_7f0b-lpXlXWfsY0EmmX1FGytEya9IVF0_1ktSHenFBctgPgYv_I0OLbAZeQ4JZ_hYwfAAYC_368V6Gzb-IMn2Monyhf2I7aDIXBdeFpa2gHZAUXxyO7yYp0duY4GeOGa5b67UtbDN-vrDFUSX28EnSikQyQ6yQQB13JB_x/w400-h400/IMG_20220213_134957619.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I had so much fun painting that one that I decided to continue and make myself one...</div><p style="text-align: center;">This is one I painted for myself to consecrate the buying of the house.

<div style="text-align: center;">
So many things I liked about this art journal lesson:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. It's more or less a vision board for 2020, first one I've ever done, maybe because I was more ready than ever before since I actually have specific plans thanks to the moon manifestations I've been working on.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. I like to include self portraits ( the greats did it, why can't I? lol) but I've never even thought about doing a profile, so this is my first.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. I like firsts, don't you?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

It may be a little time consuming and a little fussy for some but the effort of cutting out my pages just looks SO much better and yes, it's a little bit of pain that brings me joy in the long run, kinda like diet and exercise, lol</div>

As it stands right now, color me impressed with following the moon phases, doing the work as evidenced on the paper on my desk. It's a huge sheet that I can record everything on it and really map out what's relating to each other. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
First thought: I wish I could type like I am thinking in my head.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now onto Wanderlust week 2 where we are exploring our heritage. I've never considered myself anything more than an American mutt, a compilation of whatever. BUT, while pondering my heritage or lack thereof made me think of the Pilgrims, and given my spirituality, brought me along the Salem Witch Trials in colonial Massachusetts between 1692-93.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For surely if I had been born back then I would have been executed as a witch. Not that I am a witch, nor were they, but they were "tossed under the bus" so to speak because of paranoia and fear of the unknown.<span style="background-color: white; color: black; display: inline; float: none; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> The ulterior reasons for their persecution sometimes surfaced at the trial. Often it was little more than a bad reputation or malicious gossip, repackaged and embroidered over decades. A human frailty or eccentricity might be trotted out as evidence. Sometimes it was the fruit of a protracted family feud, an insult uttered in haste, or a personal indiscretion.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b></b><i></i><u></u><sub></sub><sup></sup><strike></strike><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, here, I figured, are my "spiritual ancestors".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For my lesson:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I chose a female in Pilgrim attire </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOlI3f14pbc8wLlTiFyf5uPK_T_zxwuQvXNIW6_CCWZ5AsyT9sx48fTtvdewf8KR-4wSYGxXek0nU9DLemycnuWSFUpIjh6877itQc1PtWGDQFZz7aWt-_L7HMG7jivMIqsf83Y7jVEP4/s1600/week2+prompt+AMJ+by+Sandee+Setliff.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1143" data-original-width="1600" height="456" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOlI3f14pbc8wLlTiFyf5uPK_T_zxwuQvXNIW6_CCWZ5AsyT9sx48fTtvdewf8KR-4wSYGxXek0nU9DLemycnuWSFUpIjh6877itQc1PtWGDQFZz7aWt-_L7HMG7jivMIqsf83Y7jVEP4/s640/week2+prompt+AMJ+by+Sandee+Setliff.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For symbols:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Of course the large moon itself<br />
2. and then sketched in a shadowy image of the Mayflower in the background to represent where they came from (1492)<br />
3. and the wolf baying at the moon to symbolize the January Wolf Moon.<br />
4. I added the Moon Goddess symbol floating over her head to represent her spirituality which would soon lead her future children down a bent road <span style="background-color: white; color: black; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">(1692-93)</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">5. </span>and used the spiritual symbol under the ship<br />
6. and pentagrams for stars in the skies.<br />
<br />
I also carved into the wet paint of her dark dress with a skewer the word <i>witch</i>, over and over again. Kind of representing the future doom she doesn't even know about.<br />
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
a little history for you and go ahead and check to see if your name is there, you know you want to 😉</div>

</div>
Bishop wasn’t the first person accused during the Salem Witch Trials but she was the first person tried because it was believed the case against her would be easy to win. She was brought to trial on June 2, found guilty and became the first person executed during the witch trials when she was hanged on June 10, 1692.<br />
<em><a href="https://historyofmassachusetts.org/sarah-good-accused-witch/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sarah Good</a> (Age: 39)</em><br />
Sarah Good lived in Salem Village and was the wife of William Good. At the time of the witch trials she was poor and pregnant and would often go door to door in Salem Village begging for handouts while her husband worked as a day laborer.<br />
<div data-slot-rendered-dynamic="true">
Good was one of the first people accused of witchcraft during the Salem Witch Trials, along with Sarah Osbourn and Tituba. When the afflicted girls first began showing symptoms that they were bewitched, the girls accused the three women of the bewitching them. Sarah Good was brought to trial June 29 and executed on July 19, 1692.</div>

<em><a href="https://historyofmassachusetts.org/elizabeth-howe-salem/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Elizabeth Howe</a> (Age: 57)</em><br />
Elizabeth Howe lived in Topsfield and was the wife of farmer James Howe. Much like Bridget Bishop, Howe had also been accused of witchcraft before. In her previous case she was accused of bewitching a local girl.<br />
No charges were ever brought up against Howe but she was later refused admittance to an Ipswich church due to the incident. In May of 1692, she was accused of witchcraft by the afflicted girls in Salem Village. She was arrested, brought to trial on June 29 and executed on July 19, 1692.<br />
<em><a href="https://historyofmassachusetts.org/susannah-martin-accused-witch-from-salisbury/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Susannah Martin</a> (Age: 71)</em><br />
Susannah Martin was a poor widow who lived in Amesbury at the time of the Salem Witch Trials. Much like Bridget Bishop, Susannah Martin had also been accused of witchcraft before. In her previous cases she was accused of infanticide and tormenting people with her specter. The charges were eventually dropped or dismissed.<br />
Martin was accused of witchcraft by the afflicted girls in the spring of 1692. Susannah Martin was taken to Salem Village, brought to trial on June 29 and executed on July 19, 1692.<br />
<em><a href="https://historyofmassachusetts.org/the-trial-of-rebecca-nurse/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Rebecca Nurse</a> (Age: 71)</em><br />
Rebecca Nurse was an elderly grandmother from Salem Village and the wife of farmer Francis Nurse. She was a pious and popular woman who had a longstanding feud with the Putnam family over border boundaries between their adjoining land. She also disapproved of the controversial appointment of Samuel Parris, whom was a close friend of the Putnams, as the new Salem Village minister.<br />
The Putnams were Rebecca Nurse’s main accusers during the witch trials and many of them testified against her. Rebecca Nurse was originally found not guilty at the end of her trial in late June but when the verdict was read out loud in the court the afflicted girls protested and the jury was asked to reconsider its decision. The jury reconsidered and came back with a guilty verdict. Rebecca Nurse was executed on July 19, 1692.<br />
<div data-slot-rendered-dynamic="true">
<em><a href="https://historyofmassachusetts.org/sarah-wildes/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sarah Wildes</a> (Age: 65)</em><br />
Sarah Wildes lived in Topsfield and was the wife of a local judge John Wildes. Sarah Wildes had somewhat of a bad reputation due to previous brushes with law. In 1649, she was accused of fornicating out of wedlock with Thomas Wardwell and in 1663 she was accused of wearing a silk scarf.</div>
After she married widower John Wildes in 1663, John Gould and Mary Gould Reddington, the brother and sister of John Wildes’ late wife, developed a hatred of Sarah Wildes and, in 1670, began spreading rumors that she was a witch.<br />
Even after Mary Gould Reddington passed away from natural causes years later, Mary’s friends continued to harass and torment Sarah Wildes. The Gould family were close friends with the Putnam family of Salem Village.<br />
Shortly after the Salem witch hunt began in March of 1692, the Putnam family accused Sarah Wildes of witchcraft in April of 1692 and she was arrested. John Wildes’ daughter (from a previous marriage) and son-in-law, Sarah and Edward Bishop, were also arrested as was John’s other daughter Phoebe Wildes. Sarah Wildes was brought to trial on June 29 and executed on July 19, 1692.<br />
<em><a href="https://historyofmassachusetts.org/reverend-george-burroughs-salem/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Reverend George Burroughs</a> (Age: 40s)</em><br />
George Burroughs was the only Puritan minister to be accused and executed during the Salem Witch Trials. Burroughs was a minister in Casco, Maine during the 1670s but left the settlement after it was attacked by Native Americans.<br />
He later settled in <a href="https://historyofmassachusetts.org/salisbury-massachusetts-history/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Salisbury, Mass</a> for a while before being asked to serve as the new minister in Salem Village in 1680. The residents of Salem disagreed over his appointment as minister and he was not always paid his salary. He often borrowed money from the Putnam family to support his family.<br />
When he stopped being paid all together, he left Salem and returned to Maine. At some point the Putnam family sued Burroughs for failure to repay his debt and shortly after accused him of witchcraft. Burroughs was arrested, brought to trial on August 5 and executed on August 19, 1692.<br />
<em><a href="https://historyofmassachusetts.org/martha-carrier-salem/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Martha Carrier</a> (Age: 33)</em><br />
Martha Carrier lived in Andover and was the wife of Thomas Carrier. Carrier was also the niece of outspoken opponent of the Salem Witch Trials, Reverend Francis Dane of Andover, and the sister of accused witch Mary Toothaker of Billerica.<br />
<div data-slot-rendered-dynamic="true">
Carrier was the first person in Andover accused during the Salem Witch Trials. She was accused by her neighbor Benjamin Abbot after the two had a dispute over land and Abbot immediately fell ill. Her children were also accused and were coerced into testifying against her. Carrier was brought to trial on August 5 and executed on August 19, 1692.</div>

<em><a href="https://historyofmassachusetts.org/john-willard-salem/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">John Willard </a>(Age: about 30)</em><br />
John Willard was a deputy constable in Salem at the time of the Salem Witch Trials. He was one of the first people in Salem to speak out against the witch trials. Willard was responsible for helping to arrest the accused witches but soon began to doubt so many people could be guilty of witchcraft and quit his job in protest.<br />
Shortly after, Willard himself was accused of witchcraft by <a href="https://historyofmassachusetts.org/ann-putnam-jr/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ann Putnam, Jr</a>., who also accused him of beating her baby sister to death. Willard was not immediately arrested but his in-laws, the Wilkins family, began to grow suspicious of him.<br />
Willard was accused a second time by his wife’s grandfather, Bray Wilkins, after Wilkins fell ill upon receiving a cross look from Willard in May of 1692. Just a few days later, Bray’s grandson, Daniel Wilkins, was found dead, his body bloody and beaten, and according to court records: <em>“to the best of our judgments we cannot but apprehend but that he dyed an unnatural death by sume cruell hands of witchcraft or diabolicall act…”</em><br />
An arrest warrant was issued for John Willard but he had already fled Salem Village. A second arrest warrant was issued and Willard was hunted down and arrested in Nashua, NH. During his examination at Beadle’s Tavern in Salem town, the incident with Bray Wilkins and Daniel Wilkins was brought up and the Wilkins family also accused Willard of beating his wife.<br />
Several confessed witches testified against Willard as well as afflicted girl Ann Putnam, Jr., who testified that she saw many ghosts of people Willard allegedly killed. John Willard was brought to trial on August 5 and executed on August 19, 1692.<br />
<em><a href="https://historyofmassachusetts.org/george-jacobs-sr-salem/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">George Jacobs Sr</a> (Age: 72)</em><br />
George Jacobs Sr was accused of witchcraft by several people during the Salem Witch Trials, including his granddaughter, Margaret Jacobs. He was a reluctant church go-er and was an outspoken critic of the Salem Witch Trials.<br />
<div data-slot-rendered-dynamic="true">
He was first accused by his servant, Sarah Churchill, who also accused his granddaughter Margaret Jacobs. His son, George Jacobs, Jr, was accused as well but he evaded arrest.</div>
Many people testified against George Jacobs, Sr, including almost all the members of the Putnam family. He was found guilty on August 5 and executed on August 19, 1692. Jacobs’ family reportedly retrieved his body from the execution site and buried him on the family property.<br />
<em><a href="https://historyofmassachusetts.org/john-proctor-first-male-accused-witch/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">John Proctor </a>(Age: 61)</em><br />
John Proctor was a wealthy farmer who lived on the outskirts of Salem Village. He was an outspoken critic of the Salem Witch Trials and often threatened to beat or whip the afflicted girls for their role in the witch trials.<br />
After his wife, Elizabeth Proctor, was arrested on charges of witchcraft in April of 1692, the afflicted girls turned on John Proctor during Elizabeth’s examination and accused him as well. John Proctor’s entire family was eventually arrested on charges of witchcraft.<br />
Proctor knew Salem was in the midst of a mass hysteria and wrote a letter to the Boston clergy in July asking that they intervene or move the trials to Boston.<br />
The clergy responded but it was too late to save Proctor, who was brought to trial on August 5 and executed on August 19, 1692. His remaining family members were either never charged or found guilty and pardoned. Proctor’s body was reportedly retrieved from the execution site and secretly buried on his farm.<br />
<em><a href="https://historyofmassachusetts.org/alice-parker-salem/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Alice Parker</a> (Age: unknown)</em><br />
Alice Parker was the wife of fisherman John Parker. The couple lived in Salem town where Alice was known as a pious, honest woman. Parker also had a reputation for clairvoyance and on one occasion successfully predicted that a friend’s husband had died at sea.<br />
In May of 1692, afflicted girl Mary Warren suddenly accused Alice Parker of witchcraft. During Parker’s trial, Warren made several surprising accusations against her, claiming Parker bewitched her mother to death, made her sister ill and drowned several men and boys in the sea, including a man named Thomas Wastgate and his entire crew who drowned after their ship sank. Alice Parker was brought to trial on September 9 and executed on September 22, 1692.<br />
<div data-slot-rendered-dynamic="true">
<em><a href="https://historyofmassachusetts.org/mary-parker-salem/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mary Parker</a> (Age: about 40)</em><br />
Mary Parker was a widow from Andover. Parker was first named a witch by William Barker Jr and was accused of afflicting Martha Sprague. It is not known why Parker was accused but she stated during her examination that there was another woman in Andover named Mary Parker and suggested it was a case of mistaken identity.</div>

Ann Pudeator was a widow who lived in Salem town where she also worked as a nurse and midwife. She had a reputation for being sharp-tongued and often quarreled with locals.<br />
Pudeator was accused of witchcraft in May of 1692 by Sarah Churchill and several other afflicted girls of Salem Village. Some of her medical supplies, such as foot ointments, were confiscated and introduced to the court as objects of the occult.<br />
During her trial, Pudeator accused many of her accusers of lying. Pudeator was brought to trial on September 9 and executed on September 22, 1692.<br />
<em><a href="https://historyofmassachusetts.org/wilmot-redd-salem/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Wilmot Redd</a> (Age: unknown)</em><br />
Wilmot Redd lived in Marblehead and was the wife of fisherman Samuel Redd. Like Bridget Bishop and many other witch trial victims, Wilmot Redd had also been accused of witchcraft before in 1687. She was an unpopular person around town because she often quarreled with others and had an abrasive personality. Redd’s daughter was the wife of fellow accused witch Reverend George Burroughs.<br />
Redd was accused of witchcraft in May of 1692 by the Salem Village afflicted girls and brought to Ingersoll Tavern in Salem Village for her examination. She had never met the afflicted girls before and when asked why they were afflicted she stated they were in a “sad condition.” She was indicted and several Marblehead residents testified against her. Redd was brought to trial in September and executed on September 22, 1692.<br />
<em><a href="https://historyofmassachusetts.org/margaret-scott-salem/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Margaret Scott</a> (Age: 77)</em><br />
Margaret Scott was a widow from Rowley. Scott had seven children but only three survived childhood. After her husband died in 1671, Scott was left destitute and forced to beg from her neighbors. This made her unpopular with her neighbors.<br />

Scott was accused by two of Rowley’s most notable families: the Wicoms and the Nelsons. A member of the Nelson family also sat on the grand jury that convicted her. Scott was brought to trial on September 17 and executed on September 22, 1692.</div>
<em><a href="https://historyofmassachusetts.org/samuel-wardwell-salem/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Samuel Wardwell</a> (Age: 49)</em><br />
Samuel Wardwell was a carpenter from Andover. He was also a well known fortune-teller and practitioner of English folk magic. It is believed that his work in the occult led to his witchcraft accusation.<br />
Wardwell was accused in September of 1692 and arrested and jailed in Salem. Shortly after, his wife and daughters were also arrested. During his examination, he admitted to fortune-telling and dabbling in magic and said that the devil may have taken advantage of him for these reasons. He then confessed to making a pact with the devil but later recanted his confession. Wardwell was brought to trial in mid-September and executed on September 22, 1692.<br />
<em><a href="https://historyofmassachusetts.org/martha-corey/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Martha Corey</a> (Age: 72)</em><br />
Martha Corey lived in the outskirts of Salem Village and was the wife of wealthy farmer Giles Corey. Corey had a reputation for being a pious member of the community despite the well-known fact that she had a child out of wedlock in the 1670s. Martha Corey was also an outspoken critic of the Salem Witch Trials and stated many times that the afflicted girls were liars.<br />
During her own examination, she told the judge <em>“we must not believe all that these distracted children say.”</em> In March, Giles Corey testified against his wife in court, stating that she may have bewitched his farm animals and himself.<br />
When Giles Corey himself was accused of witchcraft and arrested in April, he refused to provide any more information on Martha or himself. Martha Corey was brought to trial on September 9 and executed on September 22, 1692, just three days after Giles Corey had been tortured to death for refusing to enter a plea.<br />
<em><a href="https://historyofmassachusetts.org/mary-easty-salem/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mary Easty</a> (Age: 58)</em><br />
Mary Easty was the sister of accused witches Rebecca Nurse and Sarah Cloyce. She lived in Topsfield and was considered a pious, well-respected member of the community.<br />
In April of 1692, Mary Easty was accused of witchcraft, arrested but was then released in May. She was accused again, a few days after her release, and arrested. She was examined and indicted on two charges of witchcraft. Easty was brought to trial on September 9 and executed on September 22, 1692.<br />

REFUSED TO ENTER A PLEA & TORTURED TO DEATH:</div>
<em><a href="https://historyofmassachusetts.org/the-curse-of-giles-corey/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Giles Corey</a> (Age: 71)</em><br />
Giles Corey was a wealthy farmer who lived on the outskirts of Salem Village. He had a reputation for being an angry, violent man and was once charged with murdering his farmhand in 1676. He was found guilty but only suffered a fine for his actions. Many locals, including <a href="https://historyofmassachusetts.org/thomas-putnam-ringleader-of-the-salem-witch-hunt/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Thomas Putnam</a>, suspected Corey had paid a bribe for his freedom.<br />
In April of 1692, Giles Corey was accused of witchcraft after his wife, <a href="https://historyofmassachusetts.org/martha-corey/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Martha Corey</a>, had also been accused and arrested on the same charge. Giles Corey refused to enter a plea in an attempt to prevent his case from going to trial. He reportedly knew he was going to die, either in jail or on the gallows, and wanted to avoid being convicted before he did.<br />
As a result, Giles Corey was tortured for three days in a field on Howard Street in Salem town in an attempt to force a plea out of him. He died on the third day of his torture on September 19, 1692.<br />

Most of the Salem Witch Trials victims were women but men were accused and executed too. Although some of the early victims were poor social outcasts from Salem Village, the accusations slowly spread to all types of people from all types of backgrounds, according to the book <a href="https://historyofmassachusetts.org/best-books-about-salem-witch-trials/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Death in Salem: The Private Lives Behind the 1692 Witch Hunt</a>:<br />
<blockquote data-slot-rendered-dynamic="true">
“Most of the victims were women. Everyone knew that witchcraft was largely a female perversity, but the reasoning stopped there. The over one hundred and fifty people singled out for social and legal ostracism over the course of 1692 included every age, social echelon, and background: rich and poor, young and old, feeble and sharp-witted. In Andover, seventeen alleged witches were identified in a single afternoon sting known as the ‘touch test.’ The villagers collected in the meetinghouse, then one by one, the women were blindfolded and led up to two of Salem’s writing girls. If the woman’s touch abated the girl’s convulsions, it proved that she was guilty. The logic seems to have been that physical contact with an actual witch would draw the evil spirits back out of the victim. So like sheep herded over a cliff, Andover’s women were seized, bound, served warrants, and loaded into the back of oxcarts for the four- or five-hour trip to Salem jail, their frantic relatives browbeating them the entire way. The ulterior reasons for their persecution sometimes surfaced at the trial. Often it was little more than a bad reputation or malicious gossip, repackaged and embroidered over decades. A human frailty or eccentricity might be trotted out as evidence. Sometimes it was the fruit of a protracted family feud, an insult uttered in haste, or a personal indiscretion – like Martha Corey’s – that the community refused to forget.”</blockquote>

<h2>
<strong>Where Were the Accused Imprisoned?</strong></h2>
Due to the large number of accused witches, the prisoners were kept in multiple jails in Salem, Ipswich and Boston.<br />
According to the book, <a href="https://historyofmassachusetts.org/best-books-about-salem-witch-trials/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">A Delusion of Satan: The Full Story of the Salem Witch Trials</a>, the accused witches were considered dangerous prisoners and were kept in dungeons underneath the jails away from the regular prisoners:<br />
<blockquote>
“As the most dangerous inmates, the witches were kept in the dungeons. These were perpetually dark, bitterly cold, and so damp that water ran down the walls. They reeked of unwashed human bodies and excrement. They enclosed as much agony as anywhere human beings could have lived. The stone dungeons of Salem Town prison were discovered in the 1950s in St. Peter Street when the site was excavated to build a New England Telephone Company building. In 1692 they stood under a wooden structure, twenty feet square, known as the ‘witch jail.’ Since they were so close to the banks of a tidal river, they were probably infested with water rats. Certainly they were a breeding ground for disease…But accused witches were worse off than the other unfortunates [other prisoners.] Their limbs were weighed down and their movements were restricted by manacles chained to the walls, so that their specters could less easily escape to wreak havoc.”</blockquote>
The dungeons forever changed people and the ones who were lucky enough to survive the prison or escape the gallows often suffered for the rest of their lives.<br />

Such is the case with Dorcas Good, the four-year-old daughter of Sarah Good who was accused of witchcraft in March of 1692 and spent seven to eight months in jail before being released, according to the book The Salem Witch Trials Reader:<br />
<blockquote>
“Eighteen years later her father, William Good, was to write that ‘she was in prison seven or eight months and being chained in the dungeon was so hardly used and terrified that she hath ever since been very chargeable, having little or no reason to govern herself.’ By ‘very chargeable;’ he meant a financial burden: When she came out and for the rest of her days, he had to pay a keeper to take care of her.”</blockquote>
While in prison, the accused were repeatedly humiliated by being forced to undergo physical examinations of their bodies. The examiners were looking for physical evidence that the accused was a witch, such as a “mark of the Devil” or a teat from which the witch’s familiar was believed to have nursed from.<br />
During the examinations the prisoners, who were mostly elderly, were stripped naked in front of a group of people and their bodies were poked and prodded and any suspicious marks or moles found were pricked with needles.<br />

The female prisoner’s breasts were often examined multiple times a day for signs of lactation or breastfeeding and the appearance of their breasts were recorded and discussed in the courtroom.</div>

In his book Salem Witchcraft: With an Account of Salem Village and a History of Opinions on Witchcraft and Kindred Spirits, historian and former Salem mayor Charles W. Upham describes his disgust over this treatment of the prisoners:<br />
<blockquote>
“The mind loathes the thought of handling in this way refined and sensitive females of matronly character, or persons of either sex, with infirmities of body rendered sacred by years. The results of the examinations were reduced to written reports, going into details, and, among other evidences in the trials, spread before the court and jury.”</blockquote>
<h2>
<strong>Where Were the Accused Questioned & Tried?</strong></h2>
To determine if there was an actual case against the accused, they were usually taken either to the Salem Village meetinghouse, to Reverend Samuel Parris’ house, to Ingersoll Tavern at Salem Village or to Beadle’s Tavern in Salem Town.<br />
There they were questioned by a judge in front of a jury, which decided whether or not to indict the accused on charges of witchcraft.<br />

The trials were then held in the Salem courthouse which was located in the center of Washington Street about 100 feet south of Lynde Street, opposite of where the Masonic Temple now stands.<br />

<h2>
<strong>How Were They Executed?</strong></h2>
The executions took place on a small hill, called Proctor’s Ledge, at the base of Gallows Hill in Salem town. The victims were hanged by the neck by a rope tied to a tree. Contrary to popular belief, none of the victims were burned at the stake.<br />
The reason is because English law only allowed death by burning to be used against men who committed high treason and only after they had been hanged until almost dead, quartered and drawn. The English considered it an unacceptable death for women since it involved nudity.<br />
Burning at the stake was more popular in countries with a strong Catholic church because it did not involve the shedding of blood, which was not allowed in the Roman Catholic doctrine, and it ensured that the victim would not have a body to take with them to the after life.<br />
<h2>
Where Were They Buried?</h2>
After each execution took place, the victim’s body was cut down and placed in a nearby rock crevice or buried in a shallow grave somewhere on the execution site, according to a paper written by William P. Upham for the Peabody Historical Society in 1903:<br />
<blockquote>
“It is well known that the victims executed as witches on Gallows Hill in Salem, in 1692, were thrown into mere shallow graves or crevices in the ledge under the gallows, where the nature of the ground did not allow complete burial, so that it was stated at the time that portions of the bodies were hardly covered at all.”</blockquote>
As convicted witches, they were not allowed a Christian burial in consecrated ground. Relatives of several victims: Rebecca Nurse, John Proctor and George Jacobs, reportedly retrieved the bodies of their loved one and gave them a Christian burial on the family property.<br />
It is not known what happened to the unclaimed bodies, or if there were any unclaimed bodies, but if there are they are most likely still buried in shallow graves at the execution site.<br />
<h2>
<strong>Were They Ever Exonerated?</strong></h2>
<div data-slot-rendered-dynamic="true">
Almost immediately after the Salem Witch Trials came to an end, the residents of Salem began to feel ashamed of what happened during the witch hunt.</div>

They still believed in witches and the Devil, but they had doubts that so many people could have been guilty of the crime and they feared that many innocent people had been put to death.<br />
The colony also been to suffer from frequent droughts, crop failures, smallpox outbreaks, Native-American attacks and other disasters and the colonists worried that the mistakes made during the Salem Witch Trials had angered God.<br />
On December 17, 1697, Governor Stoughton issued a proclamation in hopes of making amends with God. The proclamation suggested that there should be:<br />
<blockquote>
“observed a Day of Prayer with Fasting throughout the Province…So that all God’s people may put away that which hath stirred God’s Holy jealousy against his land; that he would…help us wherein we have done amiss to do so no more; and especially that whatever mistakes on either hand have fallen into…referring to the late tragedy, raised among us by Satan and his instruments, through the awful judgement of God, he would humble us therefore and pardon all the errors and people that desire to love his name…”</blockquote>
The colony held the day of prayer on January 15, 1697, which was known as the Day of Official Humiliation.<br />
On October 17, 1711, at the urging of the surviving convicted witches and their families, the colony passed a bill clearing some of the names of the convicted witches.<br />
Not every victim was named in the bill though because some families of the victims did not want their family member listed. The bill states:<br />
<blockquote data-slot-rendered-dynamic="true">
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Province of Massachusetts Bay Anno Regni, Anna Reginae Decimo. An act to remove the attainders of George Burroughs and others for Witchcraft. For as much in the year of Our Lord, one thousand six hundred and ninety-two several towns within the Province were infested with a horrible witchcraft or possessions of devils. And at a special court of Oyer and Termina holden at Salem in the county of Essex in the same year 1692, George Burroughs of Wells, John Proctor, George Jacobs, John Willard, Giles Corey and Martha his wife, Rebecca Nurse and Sarah Good, all of Salem aforesaid; Elizabeth Howe of Ipswich; Mary Easty; Sarah Wildes and Abigail Hobbs all of Topsfield; Samuel Wardwell, Mary Parker, Martha Carrier, Abigail Faulkner, Ann Foster; Rebecca Eames, Mary Post and Mary Lacey, all of Andover; Mary Bradbury of Salisbury, Dorcas Hoar of Beverly, were severally indicted, convicted and attainted of witchcraft, and some of them put to death, others lying still under the like sentence of the said court and liable to have the same executed upon them.</div>
The influence and energy of the evil spirit so great at that time acting in and upon those who were the principal accusers and witnesses proceeding so far as to cause a prosecution to be had of persons of known and good reputation which caused a great dissatisfaction and a stop to be put thereunto until their majesties pleasure should be known therein; and upon a representation thereof accordingly made, her late Majesty, Queen Mary, the Second of Blessed Memory, by her Royal letter given at her court at Whitehall the fifteenth of April, 1693, was graciously pleased to approve the care and circumspection therein; and to will and require that in all proceedings against persons accused for witchcraft, or being possessed by the Devil, the greatest moderation and all due circumspection be used so far as the same may be without impediment to the ordinary course of justice.<br />
And some of the principal accusers and witnesses in those dark and severe prosecutions have since discovered themselves to be persons of profligate and vicious conversations. Upon the humble petition and suit of several of said persons and of the children of others of them whose parents were executed.<br />
Be it declared and enacted by His Excellency, the Governor, Council and Representatives authority of the same, That the several convictions, in General Court assembled, and by the judgments and attainders against the said George Burroughs, John Proctor, George Jacobs, John Willard, Giles Corey, Martha Corey, Rebecca Nurse, Sarah Good, Elizabeth Howe, Mary Easty, Sarah Wildes, Abigail Hobbs,Samuel Wardwell, Mary Parker, Martha Carrier, Abigail Faulkner, Anne Foster, Rebecca Eames, Mary Post, Mary Lacey, Mary Bradbury, Dorcas Hoar, and any of them be and are hereby reversed made and declared to be null and void to all intents, constitutionalism and purposes whatsoever as if no such convictions, judgments and attainders had ever been had or given, and that no penalties or forfeitures of goods or chattels be by the said judgments and attainders or either of them had or incurred. Any law, usage or custom to the contrary notwithstanding. And that no sheriff, constable, goaler or other officer shall be liable to any prosecution in the law for anything they then legally did in the execution of their respective offices.<br />
Made and passed by the Great and General Court or Assembly of her Majestys Province of the Massachusetts Bay in New England, held at Boston the 17th day of Oct, 1711.”</blockquote>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So many things are going on with my life right now at a nice little clip, and I am beginning to realize the power of manifesting and intention setting, which isn't witchy at all...in case you think it does.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Manifesting = Goals.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Intention setting = planning steps to achieve said goal.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I am dedicating this journal to actually "journaling" as much as "arting" and committing myself to recording a years worth of moon manifestations along with the Wanderlust program and in a years time, I'll have solid proof for myself to continue researching and learning more about this. (I love researching stuff, lol)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The front page of my journals are what I use to set my theme or intention for my journal and this year I am dedicating 2020 to "self-discovery" which also would have made for a great Word Of The Year, but I chose "<b>RECOVERY</b>" because I am trying to<i> recover</i> the person whom I thought I would have become when I was "old"...(lol, yes I am turning 61 this year and when I was 10, this was definitely OLD.) I figured that my <i>inner me</i> needs a re-boot of sorts and I am on a year long conquest to do just that...I've lost her but she is still there I just need to intentionally go about finding her again. I put a lot of thought into this so I wanted to use the <i>all seeing eye</i> from my Artistic Muse Card #2 stencil to show:<br />

<br />
Personally, I'm all about the number<a href="https://www.numerology.com/numerology-numbers/2" target="_blank"> 2 </a>and 2020 is going to be my century! Especially on my birthday in 2022 being that I was born on 2-22 and born at 2am under a full moon. I've been looking forward to this time of my life since I was about 10 and I am sure to be journaling about that too! ❤<br />

What's your favorite number?</div>

Once he appeared I had one of my moments where I knew the universe was leading me somewhere and I know that you must sit back and just enjoy the ride. Now, you may ask: why did I think something was going on? It's because I don't normally draw penguins, as cute as they are they are not one of my spirit animals that I am drawn to</span></div>

<b>Here's where I thought I was in BIG trouble.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>This part happened so fast that no pictures were taken but I can try and walk you through my mental state of being. Please keep your hands and feet inside the vehicle at all times. This could get bumpy.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b></b><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The conundrance began when it came to the background. I was drawn to the stark whiteness of it, it made the whole piece feel very modern and very pop art to me but I was too worried it would be considered plain and unfinished ( seriously worried about this for several days! 😕 ) then, I thought maybe a textured white background would make it work.That will solve everything!! I grabbed modeling paste, glitter paint and gesso and went to town, it was a frenzy of texturizing going on, splattering and mixing my art ingredients somewhat like a mad scientist in a 50's movie!! Now I decided that the all white textured background was the worst possible thing I could have done so now what? Oh did I mention I've already glued ALL MY FREAKING PIECES down? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I calmly and carefully painted black around the penguin and the planets.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"sigh"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And now I hated it. It sat on my art desk...staring at me...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, I'm all about the universe talking to me <b>all</b> the time and if I would just sometimes get out of my own way and just listen then solutions usually present themselves so I turned off the<strike> studio</strike> spare bedroom light and <strike>walked away</strike> went to bed...<i>but that's usually where my best thinking happens.</i> For some people it's the shower, for me it's that moment right before I fall asleep that the problem resolves itself and out of the bed I pop...this time grabbing my Spirit Animal guide book from my night stand and I looked up penguins which I thought was ludicrous, a penguin as a spirit guide? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(I'm such a spirit guide snob, lol ) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But whatever universe, I'm listening...and....reading.<br />
<br />
" You have everything you need inside you and in front of you to have a good life, so always keep that in mind."<br />
<br />
Now if you do any kind of interpretive work you know you that you aren't suppose to translate anything in a literal sense but have an ebb and flow for what's written according to what's going on in real life. So this one sentence really stuck out, I mean I wasn't looking to find anything earth shattering revelation but it seemed to fit. So I went back to my canvas and took another look at my bumpy black background and decided, if everything is here then don't add to it, but take away from it so that's what I did. </div>

With a small piece of sandpaper I began sanding around each planet and the results just don't show up here but the glitter that had been mixed in with the gesso just pops and gives a stellar background!<br />

I'm embarrassed to say that for the majority of my life spent gardening I did not focus on what I was putting in my garden or as to how it effected the environment. I am guilty of buying hybrid-plants, using pesticides and avoiding just about all insects as much as humanly possible. In the last 5 years I have begun buying and planting native plants as much as possible and I stopped using pesticides. Having a pollinator garden may not be as showy as a cultivated garden but I have learned to appreciate the sound of the bees, to pull weeds by hand and to proudly explain to every person who strolls by my garden the names of all the native plants and hopefully make a convert along the way.</div>

***full confession...I'm still not fond of bugs, but I don't kill them any more, unless they are in the house and then all bets are off...just saying, I'm far from perfect! lol ***</div>

One way as artists to recycle is by taking our art supplies and looking way outside the box to find other ways to use something that you might not normally think of. The flowers and the bees all came from a rather Christmas theme die but you wouldn't know it if I didn't tell you! The flowers, stems and circle shapes are easy to pick out of the set but can you </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
guess what the bees are made from? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(<i>the pine for the body, circle for the head and the wings are the tips of the flower stems</i>)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: asap;">Howdy everyone out there in blogger land, hope you are doing well and staying cool! I've been absent for awhile but oh so busy arting and one of the things I have been up to is making paper by hand. I'm back on the Arnold Grummer design team so be ready to be submersed in some awesome papermaking.</span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "asap";"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "asap";">Out in the garage...errr...."Paper Studio" with Stefanie - <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Oakmother/" target="_blank">Oakmother's Handmade Paper</a> </span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "asap";"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Technique to try out:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>watermarking</b></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "asap";">"<i>The origin of the water part of a watermark can be found back when a watermark was something that only existed in paper, at that time the watermark was created by changing the thickness of the paper and thereby creating a shadow/lightness in the watermarked paper. This was done while the paper was still wet/watery and therefore the mark created by this process is called a watermark</i>."</span></blockquote>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Stefanie uses a dip method creating paper with her handmade deckles, which means she dips her deckle into a vat of paper pulp.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We both watched the Arnold Grummer video before joining up to make paper so we each had an idea of what we wanted to try out. Stefannie had a plethora of ideas to experiment with.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She used a hot glue gun to create one of her signature Oak leaves with. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It did pretty well but she said the glue lifted a little after being in the water .<span style="text-align: left;"> </span></div>

Next she tried the wire method of twisting wire together to form a shape and the sewing it to the screen. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In hindsight she noticed that the "stem" to the leaf was too thick and that she wished she had clipped off one of the wires instead of twisting them together.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Been making LOTS of art with my <a href="https://www.stencilgirlproducts.com/stencils-sandee-setliff-s/2055.htm" target="_blank">new stencils</a>,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this has been such an exciting time for me, to become a stencil designer. 💗💗💗</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know I become over-excited so I'll try and curtail my enthusiasm by just saying, if you want to see all my art journal pages you can visit my<a href="https://www.instagram.com/sandeesartfulwordsnc/" target="_blank"> IG page</a>. I even learned how to post an IG widget on my sidebar of my blog showing recent posts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I am also playing along with the #thestencilfiedjournal which gives you a prompt each week for 16 weeks, this weeks prompt are circles. I used the<a href="https://www.stencilgirlproducts.com/searchresults.asp?Search=gears&Submit=" target="_blank"> gears stencil</a> for my circles over an old mono-printed back ground and then just doodled the heck out of it with miniature circles and dots.</div>

So, I don't know what rock I've been hiding under but I never heard of #MerMay before and I<i><b> love</b></i> mermaids!! So, knowing my record for lack of finishing a monthly draw a day goal, I'll give this a shot and see how far I get. Again, doing it on my iPad using Sketchbook and the prompts:</div>

Tonight is a busy night, we get to reveal our bears that we worked on for 2 months! It's a fairly big event with both local and tourists coming out to see the 2018 bears which will grace the sidewalks of our downtown area for the summer before being auctioned off for charity.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is a little sneak peek of my bear and yes, I used my stencil, the Musical Notes Mandala on it. I just couldn't resist!</div>

<span style="color: #413839; text-align: left;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">Until the early 20th century, tea was sold loose. Tea bags were invented quite by accident in 1904 when Thomas Sullivan, an enterprising merchant, wrapped samples of tea leaves in silk bags and sent them to prospective customers, some of whom dipped the bags directly into boiling water. Use the tea bag tag for journaling or for writing a sentiment. Great for both art journaling or for homemade cards.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I haven't created a scrapbook page in ages but I do love making <i>imaginative</i> pages with my grand-nephew. Once you cut out the image you must then <i>imagine</i> a background that supports the photo, the more creative the better. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> ( <b>You can see all the pages I've made under the tab above</b></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">So my method may be a little different:</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> I outlined all my stencils with a waterproof pen and then either painted them in with the inks/mediums or sewed over the outlines and then cut them out and then adhered them to the page. </span></span></div>

Since I knew that gel medium would act as a resist I painted in all the words and (stamped) clouds so that they would stay white and then sprayed the page with the inks.</div>

Using the same method for the leaves and the branch I painted them on a separate piece of watercolor paper which I cut out after sewing an outline around them. I also added some extra leaves and glued them on top of the original set from the stencil design.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 17px; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;">First we were partnered up with a team member and each person in the group began a piece. (That could be laying down a base coat of color, sketching a design, prepping the surface, or anything else we agreed upon in our discussions with our partner.) Next, each person swapped their prepped pieces with the other member(s) of their group. Finally, each person finished the prepped piece that was mailed to them. Each person is now posting the piece they finished to their respective websites. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 17px; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;">My partner was <a href="https://heatherscreations.blog/" target="_blank">Heather Thompson</a> who created a lovely monochromatic textured background for me to work with. Having an all white background really allowed the colors to leap off the canvas! I loved all the molding and crackle paste that she used, it was exactly what I wanted!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I attached the bird ( which I just LOVE ) to the top of the frame and it really creates a 3-D effect to my art. I guess I could have trimmed down his feet but I just adore the oversized feet on him, lol They're kinda goofy in the most adorable sense!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">( I colored tissue paper with spray inks and glued them onto the bird )</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> I drilled holes through the wood frame and the bird came with wires attached to him so I threaded the wires through the holes and tied them off.</span><br />
( Heather stamped the eyes on the back of the canvas, it's like she just knew I was going to putting the bird there. I thought that was so cute!! )</div>

Having your card returned to you for insufficient postage which means it didn't get there in time, 😞 I knew better, but carelessly put the wrong stamp on the envelope. Meanwhile, to make this less of a downer, watch the very short video of what I put inside the envelope which prompted the necessity for extra postage. Hope you laugh along with me!</span><br />

So Chartpak held a contest to try out their new mixed media paper and this is my entry, titled <i>With all my heart</i>, using some<b><a href="https://rubbermoon.com/" target="_blank"> Rubbermoon stamps</a></b>, <b><a href="http://www.stencilgirlproducts.com/shop-by-artist-s/1845.htm" target="_blank">StencilGirl stencil</a></b> and DecoArt paints.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Even if I don't win I know I want to buy their journal mainly due to the "in and out" page feature. I mean, I love that idea. You can remove the papers and then place them back in, something I can get a lot of use out of since I have to remove the paper when I have them printed.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
You can go <b><a href="https://www.chartpakcontests.com/" target="_blank">here</a></b> to see the entries, some are just fabulous and there are a couple which don't look like they used the paper that was sent to them, but maybe I am wrong. lol I'll be curious to see who wins.<br />

Have you ever played with <b><a href="http://www.grafixarts.com/products/shrink-film/" target="_blank">Grafix Shrink film</a></b>?

I had some awesome <b><a href="https://rubbermoon.com/" target="_blank">Rubbermoon stamps</a></b> gifted to me recently and they were so easy to stamp on the sheets using my Stazon ink.

My friend Bridgette found this little shell on the beach with the perfect hole at the top to hang the little mermaid charm from that I drew and shrank. I poured some <a href="https://decoart.com/glitter/glamour-dust" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">DecoArt Glamour Dust</a><b> </b>into the shell and let it sit overnight to dry. Kristen has such an eye for things I never would have thought of, like using some broken shells as wings...omg, I loved that idea! I'll never look at a broken shell the same way again!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">After etching, it's safe to wash in the dishwasher and safe to put in the oven</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">as long as the bakeware is intended for oven-use.<span style="color: #5f5f5f;"> </span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #5f5f5f;">And do etch on the <i>outside</i> area of any dish, just in case..</span></span></span></div>

<span style="text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #5f5f5f;">ya know what I mean.</span></span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #5f5f5f; font-family: inherit;">I am sure you've gotten quite a few etching instructions along the way on the hop </span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #5f5f5f; font-family: inherit;">so I'll just mention a couple of things <b><i>I</i></b> learned along the way:</span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #5f5f5f; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #5f5f5f; font-family: inherit;">1. A painted stencil did <i>not</i> effect the etching at all, so you don't have to start off with a new stencil. This is a picture after the etching paste had been scraped off before washing the remainder of the paste off in the sink. And an extra tip, the spray nozzle did great for removing the paste in between small areas of the stencil design.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #5f5f5f;">2. Areas on your casserole dish that have a raised area (like the name of the dish, size of the dish, etc.) won't etch quite as well because the stencil itself cannot lay flat,</span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #5f5f5f;"> but overall I think it turned out very well.</span></span></span></div>
