article: Many prison tattooists use a clean toothpaste cap. Fill the cap about halfway with the sooty powder, and leave enough room in the container to mix in water. If you collected the soot on a sheet of paper, you can fold the paper and let the soot slide directly into the cap. Mix the soot with a drop of clean water. Be very sparing with the liquid-to-soot ratio; a bit of water goes a long way. Start with a small dose, and mix the soot together with the water in the toothpaste cap. Consider adding a bit of clear, scentless baby oil to thicken the mixture. Remember: the soot is much harder to come by than water or baby oil. It is a limited resource. Be very careful with your mixing so that you don't need to make more soot. Stir the soot-and-water mixture until it is about the consistency of a pen's ink. If anything, the ink should be slightly thicker. Adjust the portions of each ingredient until the texture is just right. To thin your ink, add a dash of water or baby oil. To thicken it up, add more soot.

article: It's best to wrap the cookie sheet in muslin or parchment paper before you put the sage on it. Make sure that the leaves do not touch each other or overlap, as this can make them dry unevenly. If only part of the leaf dries, then the sage could be ruined. Choose the lowest temperature on your oven because oven drying can quickly destroy the flavor, color, and oils in the sage. You should dry the leaves as slowly as possible to prevent damage. The highest temperature you should use is 180 degrees Fahrenheit (82 degrees Celsius). This allows the air to circulate, which the herbs need to dry. It also keeps the temperature from rising too high inside the oven. If you have a gas oven, don't prop open the oven because it's dangerous to let the gas fill the kitchen. Instead, open the oven every 5 minutes to allow the air to circulate. Pull the cookie sheet from the oven and set it on a heatproof surface. Wear oven mitts and use tongs or a fork to flip the sage. Then return the tray to the oven. Set a timer and check the sage every 15 minutes to make sure that it is not drying too quickly. If you suspect that the sage is dry before you reach the 1 hour mark, pull it early. It's easy to over-dry the herb. The leaves should be dry and crispy. Rub a leaf between your fingers to see if it crumbles easily.

article:
Once you've decided on a design, transfer the image onto your desired stencil material. Use a fine-tipped marker so your design is easy to see. Hold the paper or vinyl down with painter's tape to trace more precisely.  To trace straight lines, use a metal ruler. If you make a mistake on the Mylar or vinyl, use rubbing alcohol and a soft cloth to wipe it off. This will prep your design for cutting. Again, use painter's tape to hold the design down. Position the paper or vinyl so the plastic borders it at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) around the design. Much like using a vinyl cutter, creating a vinyl by hand requires careful weeding. Use a sharp utility knife to remove any parts of the Mylar or vinyl you do not want to be a part of the design. Take care when weeding intricate designs to avoid removing the wrong part.  The sections you cut out will be where ink touches the fabric once you screen print your design. Keep this in mind while cutting. Rotate your stencil as you go for easy cutting. Apply an even layer of transfer tape to the back of your stencil. When you are ready to apply it to the screen, remove the backing and apply it to the silk screen as smoothly as you can. Place the design on the back end of your screen to keep your design protected from breaking while going through the machine.
