nor4man93553: so what are we doing?
auntyalias: I'm cleaning my work space to do some roses, doing to do a
blend with these colors
nor4man93553: ok
auntyalias: they look darker on cam
ljcswartz: Do these have translucent in them too?
auntyalias: pearl red, colbalt blue and pearl only
auntyalias: now it looks right, that light sheet there
auntyalias: I think I'll use use two colors here the light and dark
auntyalias: the middle color is too similar to the light one
nor4man93553 left the room
nor4man93553 joined the room
nor4man93553: Ok yahoo keeps kicking me off so I am not going to keep
interrupting you guys with this. Have fun I will see you next time
Hugs Cheryl D
ljcswartz: I am going to have to try that tomorrow It looks quick
auntyalias: sorry you're having such a hard time Cheryl
auntyalias: it doesn't bother me you coming in and out
auntyalias: Jackie this is a real quick blend trick, the rolling and
twisting
auntyalias: makes it go fast
nor4man93553: oh well it is just a pain in the ass I know how to do
roses so I will go to see screen shots and logs
nor4man93553 left the room
auntyalias: see how much it's blended already
auntyalias: just a couple of passes
auntyalias: beats having to just fold in half and do it dozens of
times
ljcswartz: it looks wonderful
auntyalias: now I'll roll out a ribbon that has these two colors
blended, that's what we'll cut out petals out with
sylsnovelties joined the room

auntyalias: Hey Syl
auntyalias: ya ain't it pretty?
sylsnovelties: Sure is!
sylsnovelties: Love the color.
auntyalias: see how I put the light color at the top of the leaf
cutters?
auntyalias: I want that at the top of the petal
sylsnovelties: Makes sense.
auntyalias: we can roll up all this scrap and press a new ribbon, no
waste
ljcswartz: I like that idea
sylsnovelties: No waste is always good.
luna9786: Time for me to go. Thanks NJ for more inspiration and
instruction. Good night all.
luna9786 left the room
auntyalias: Ok, I'm going to thin the edges of these petals, pinch
where it will attach to the stem and do it big so we can see it better
auntyalias: ok?
auntyalias: I'll save log at this point, we don't have any screen
shots today
auntyalias: Syl if you like this color maybe you can do a couple of
screen shots of this
auntyalias: while I make it
ljcswartz: so normally you don't do this "big" ?
sylsnovelties: Ok.

auntyalias: crap, I went and misplaced my small cutters, I'll do this
as a cane then and not use the missing cutter tools
auntyalias: My work space, it's such a wreck
jude: I usually use small round cutters...anything I have that is
round for my smaller roses.
auntyalias: ah found them
auntyalias: but not all of them, I'll do it as a cane, for a separate
example
jude: I also have some smaller Kemper cutters...a tear drop, that is
good, too.
stargazer_sbpcg joined the room
jude: Howdy Jean.
stargazer_sbpcg: Hi all!

stargazer_sbpcg: Hey neighbor!
stargazer_sbpcg: purty!
auntyalias: we're going to do that small
auntyalias: the cane here is small on one end and larger on the other
so we have different size petals
chenoa_2b: back
jyladams joined the room
stargazer_sbpcg: curling center petal on a toothpick ??
jyladams: easy breezy!?
auntyalias: sorry
stargazer_sbpcg: lol
auntyalias: Jael got unsubscribed from all her lists
auntyalias: and she was sending me a private message about it
auntyalias: I'm back now
jyladams: was she naughty?
jude: she get hacked?
stargazer_sbpcg: s'okay..
auntyalias: we don't know how that happened
auntyalias: but since it was whole sale
auntyalias: I'd say it's a Yahoo glitch
auntyalias: now I'll peel these petals back and give their edges a
pinch
auntyalias: now you can put on more petals
auntyalias: or leave the center not a bud but open with another color,
depending on the rose
sylsnovelties: Can you put the two of them side by side for a shot?
jyladams: beautiful
stargazer_sbpcg: oooo ahhhhh
auntyalias: now if we did it in different colors
sylsnovelties: I got a great shot of it.
auntyalias: some buds
auntyalias: some open
auntyalias: some big and some small
auntyalias: we got a nice bouquet
auntyalias: there
auntyalias: that's what we got today so far
stargazer_sbpcg: Wahoo!
jude: Are these for the box you are making?
auntyalias: naw, just sample slabs
auntyalias: close but no cigar for the gold leaves
auntyalias: I wanted to see through the brown lines
auntyalias: but there was too much brown so the gold lines under
didn't show through
auntyalias: so these are just sheets that were quickly cured
auntyalias: and finished so we can see if it worked
auntyalias: and it didn't
jude: I meant the roses.
auntyalias: Ah, yes, the roses, they are for Ruth
jude: Right...okie.
auntyalias: she likes these colors
auntyalias: Now since we're doing leaves and roses
auntyalias: is there anything else in this category that any of you
want to see
jude: Yes?
jude: Nope.
jude: How do you cure them?
jude: With them on a tooth pick and all.
auntyalias: recognize that Jude?
auntyalias: your pot
jude: Yup!
jude: the red pot.
auntyalias: I only store them on the tooth picks
auntyalias: when I attach them to a box or something
auntyalias: I just smash them to the background sheet
auntyalias: oh I do have something new to show you today
auntyalias: and for those who came in later on
jude: Okie, IC.
auntyalias: it's the speckle trick
chenoa_2b: what about a rose bud?
stargazer_sbpcg: WOW!
auntyalias: The rose bud is just one petal wound around the toothpick
with a couple of leaves folded close
auntyalias: then stop
auntyalias: Thanks Jean
chenoa_2b: ok
sylsnovelties: I like this look.
chenoa_2b: ok, trans, with bits of colored clay right?
auntyalias: I'll show you the steps for this real quick like here
auntyalias: take pearl red, blue and green, gold and pearl and chop
stargazer_sbpcg runs off doing the Happy Dance
auntyalias: then sprinkle them on a sheet of translucent and press
auntyalias: like that
auntyalias: then slice and stack
auntyalias: then do a chevron flip
auntyalias: like that
auntyalias: then cut petals
auntyalias: I got a new way of laying out the petals that I'll show ya
auntyalias: and press
auntyalias: the background sheet is the sprinkles on pearl done as a
basket weave

that demo
