Reading Les's method, my wife's craft scissors that cut a zig zag line are starting to look very handy!! I've always hated the time it takes to "roughen" the edges.

You're referring to pinking shears, and lord help you if your wife catches you cutting paper with fabric scissors :x

My wife is a quilter, and trust me, I know which scissors to use, and which ones to avoid. The wrath, oh the wrath....

That said, they would be perfect for cutting out rough shapes for print manipulation...

Oh come now, go out to Wal mart and buy you a pair of pinking shears of your own. The wife will be very happy for your thoughtfulness.

with card making all the rage, you might find some bagains to be had... For XMAS I bought 2 pairs for my wife (from our boys) and they were a buck each (that's Aussie bucks too! 75cents to you Yanks) She liked them vey much, but I had to tell her just how little I paid cause it was such a bargain

Since she uses them for card-making, I can't see any problem with borrowing them for my darkroom
