Wow. LOL! twinmom94002: hehehe jude: NJ you have a way of turning a phrase. twinmom94002: is that clay mixed with tls or diluent? frogger70301: she's covering the frames with black clay/TLS mixture. kmrhodes: TLS, I think shargoose joined the room twinmom94002: hiya sharon shargoose: Hi shargoose: Everyone's playing, huh kmrhodes: NJ is making shades auntyalias: I have to cure these and trim them and then put the two tone lense in auntyalias: this is where the heat gun that Denise has would come in handy auntyalias: brb auntyalias: They will be uneven but you'll take more time to shape your wire patab12000 left the room patab12000 joined the room frogger70301: hiya, pat. kmrhodes: Hey pat twinmom94002: hi pat auntyalias: I have an idea about using cut out tools for making frames for mini sunglasses patab12000: hi shargoose: That looks like a neat idea for your mermaid, NJ ljcswartz: neat techi_mom56 left the room patab12000: cool techi_mom56 joined the room twinmom94002: brb laundry run ljcswartz: mixing yellow and grey for lenses auntyalias: aiming for a light brown, but ... auntyalias: let me go check the timer on the frames jude: I have got to go, but will be back later. jude: Bye! greatauntjudy left the room shargoose: add ateeney amount of red, NJ to get a brown shargoose: I mean TINY amount ljcswartz: I never buy brown clay auntyalias: burnt umber and raw sienna have their uses auntyalias: butnt umber for mini food auntyalias: chocolate ... straight out of the pack it's dark chocolate auntyalias: raw sienna is good for skin tones auntyalias: when mixed with other stuff auntyalias: we have about 10 more minutes before I can put the tile in the freezer ljcswartz: I did buy one pack of one of those? auntyalias: so if you got to put the laundry in the dryer auntyalias: change the baby auntyalias: go potty auntyalias: get something to drink auntyalias: check your mail auntyalias: go to ljcswartz: good idea auntyalias: because I'm eating a salad sandwich auntyalias: and I'm going to check the list for a tick auntyalias: 15 minutes, or there abouts shargoose: I just thought a little red to the mix you have now would give them a brown tone auntyalias: sorry Sharon... was chewing, I'm going to fuss with this color mix for sure auntyalias: brb shargoose: I got shots of you forming the glasses rims frogger70301: I'm gonna load up the shots I got so far. shargoose: Also, a few of adding the black to the previous frames shargoose: I'm going to fed the critters auntyalias: thanks a million, you Shooter Gals frogger70301: I got 21, but Tyki made me mess up the first couple. auntyalias: are they in Epson? auntyalias: I'll go look at the NEW clearer pix auntyalias: LOL frogger70301: getting them in there now. auntyalias: put the url in the log here when you're ready auntyalias: thanks again honey auntyalias: I'll save log since we're waiting auntyalias: for the cure to be done techi_mom56 left the room auntyalias: 5 more minutes, just put it in the freezer auntyalias: for a quick cool auntyalias: they will be hella uneven, the frames but it would have taken more time to make them perfect auntyalias: so I'm going to chance it frogger70301: http://albums.photo.epson.com/j/AlbumIndex?u=1751108&a=30744740&f=0 frogger70301: thats what I got so far. auntyalias: going to go see, brb kmrhodes: Nice work Mitch auntyalias: looks great, now let's see if we can trim these frames before getting them up off the tile auntyalias: some of the wire is showing on the back but I'm not too concerned, the slickness of the tile will make the frames smooth on the front and that's more important kmrhodes: Gotta go, will try to pop in later on frogger70301: seems to me that it would have been easier to do the lens part first, then work on the outside. kmrhodes left the room auntyalias: I can't find my exacto knife, the way sculpting tools might help here auntyalias: Ok, I'll pry it up off the tile auntyalias: little hairy frogger70301: trimming the little 'hairs'. boobearns joined the room frogger70301: hey, Dorothy. boobearns: Hi frogger70301: She's working on some shades. auntyalias: well, it's a first effort with TLS and clay mix to make frames auntyalias: maybe tiny snakes would have been better frogger70301: NJ, I just thought of something. auntyalias: I'm still going to add the two tone shades in the frames though but lay down more TLS and clay to sandwich the wires better. What Mitch? claydybug joined the room frogger70301: If you had some of the little bottles with the tips like you are always talking about, you wouldn't get all those little hairs. auntyalias: or mini pastry bags claydybug: Hey all, it's Patty.
