Great job wortelboer! Depending on the paper for the newspaper clippings, something I forgot to mention anywhere previously is that MY secret to making them look cool is a pad of newsprint from the Dollar Tree (literally a dollar for 60 sheets). The thin greyish paper adds a little something extra in my opinion. Also, I commented and would love to get in on that lol

I did actually use inexpensive newspaper print and the articles did come out nicely. I wanted to age them some, but unfortunately, as soon as the paper met the liquid it basically dissolved. So the clippings do not look like they have been around for 40+ years, but I think they look good as is.

Ha, dissolving is not a great reaction. If you're up for a small investment (like 5-6 bucks), Ranger Distress Ink Pad in Vintage Photo and a foam blending tool is what I use for aging without destroying. Amazon has a starter kit with lots of fun stuff: Ranger Starter Kit Thing

Here's a tip on the Yale beast from V1N3, you can print the image flipped on regular paper, and then use acetone to transfer the image from paper to leather. Here's how it looks using that method... curiosandconundrums.freeforums.net/thread/197/curio-reproductionsI hope you had great fun in the process. The results are their own reward.

I had a lot of fun doing this! and I didn't realize the Yale beast was supposed to be on leather. I guess I missed that. I will have to try this. THANKS!!

This is a work in progress. I have decided not to include the Yale beast (I can't seem to get the image to transfer onto the leather). So while that has been deleted, I've made some additions...including a couple of items which are necessary to solve the puzzles, but were not original curios.
1. the Witch print to 1.4 2. a Bridge letter packet to 1.2 - this is not a curio but a reproduction of what was found at the Bridge. The coded message will be the shorter solvable message along with a small mirror and the hint and the salad dressing recipe. 3. the hint from Bernard from the Sitting Room need to solve the crossword puzzle is being added to 1.3 (as you will recall the paper had an error. The crossword puzzle numbers were missing) 4. the missing page 7 from the Myles' file will be added to 2.4
Once I get the physical curios and content done, I can then work on creating a USB drive that contains the contents from the websites...puzzles, messages, videos, audio for Volumes I & II and III (not including the Vaults and the Strawberry game). I'm not sure it is possible to do this, but I'm going to give it a shot.
