miniatures

showing this week end

NJ is wonderful in clay.

Fearless Leader: Thanks Mom... LOL
Fearless Leader: ok, I'm still getting prep done here, brb

pictures.
frogger70301: Isn't it.
seblack991234: Plus I can run away to chase after a grand daughter and
no one knows I am gone. LOL

around here.

weeks...but this seemed to be much more fun. LOL

into fourths, but I'll take any questions at this time.
An Invitation to view your Webcam was sent to dream2b100 (11/17/02 at

dream2b100: Hi I hate to disturb you but I can't see a thing, Lisa
Fearless Leader: Just sent Lisa and Mary invites to see the cam

Biz-Archive/MSAT/ClayArt/WebCam/How-To.htm
chelyha55: you can pull up yahoo messenger and right click on
msatclayart, and click view webcam
Fearless Leader: Here's all the directions on how to access the cam,
if you're on a Mac you will have to do it a little different, I'm
going to be on all week end
chelyha55: that's how I do it
Fearless Leader: so go read the directions and the ladies here will
help you but I got to get back to the demo
Fearless Leader: Carolyn, I'm going to use both canes
Fearless Leader: to show how it looks different with the colors in
reverse order
chenoa_2b: ok
Fearless Leader: ok, so I took a jelly roll blend cane and sliced it
into four pieces lengthwise
Fearless Leader: any questions to this point?
chelyha55: no
chenoa_2b: nope
seblack991234: nope
upmary2002 left the room
Fearless Leader: Ok, now we stack these sections with the point going
in the same direction
Fearless Leader: Now I'm going to reduce this and slice it into
sections and stack them again, so we have multiple scales
Fearless Leader: ok?
chelyha55: ooh, sounds cool!\
chenoa_2b: are you maintaining the triagnle shape?
chenoa_2b: yes you are
boobearns joined the room
chelyha55: Hi Dorothy
boobearns: Hi
boobearns: what is NJ working on?
seblack991234: A cane.
boobearns: thank you
chenoa_2b: fish scales
chenoa_2b: I can't tell how she is laying those out on the sheet.
chenoa_2b: thank you
Fearless Leader: So I took the slices and laid it on a sheet of
matching blue
seblack991234: Looks like she is just lapping over a little bit.
Fearless Leader: and now I'm going to press this
Fearless Leader: it'll all mash together in the pressing
lindaslists left the room
boobearns: pretty!!
chenoa_2b: wow
NikiT (azstitcher2001) joined the room
frogger70301: That would look good on a tin with a rose the color of
NJ's nails.
chenoa_2b: where is Jude?
Fearless Leader: Now let me show you some other sheets done in the
same way with some small differences
boobearns: kinda looks like alien skin
NikiT: pretty.
Fearless Leader: This one is my favorite
NikiT: looks almost like feathers
chenoa_2b: it is so pretty
Fearless Leader: Now if you had surrounded the cane with a contrasting
color you'll get a different look. Yes it can function as feathers as
well, Niki
Fearless Leader: Now that we have this jelly roll cane with the silver
on the outside
boobearns left the room
Fearless Leader: if we surrounded it with something dark and then did
the cutting, what will we see?
Fearless Leader: I don't know yet, I'll find out when you do
chenoa_2b: lol
Fearless Leader: so let's just surround it with a sheet of this blue
Fearless Leader: see what that does, ok?
chenoa_2b: ok
seblack991234 left the room
chenoa_2b: Are you touching on this tomorrow?
seblack991234 joined the room
Fearless Leader: yes, this is the new technique I want to share this
week end
Fearless Leader: so if you have to go, it will be repeated
chenoa_2b: Ok, I haven't had any sleep at all in the last 24
Fearless Leader: Tomorrow then honey, or late tonight
seblack991234: Bless your heart.
Fearless Leader: it'll be repeated
chenoa_2b: Mind and body are not agreeing! I want to stay, my eyes are
falling alseep!
chenoa_2b: Thanks so much. And get better ok?!
chenoa_2b: Adios all! Love ya!
chenoa_2b left the room
dream2b100 left the room
dream2b100 joined the room
Fearless Leader: Now in this example I didn't reduce and repeat the
pattern
Fearless Leader: just took the cane, sliced in fourths, staked, sliced
and now we press
Fearless Leader: Now see the difference with reducing it and repeating
the pattern and not doing so
Fearless Leader: big difference
Fearless Leader: same technique, just repeated. Like I'm always
saying, complex designs are just a lot of simple elements repeated
Fearless Leader: any questions at this point?
Fearless Leader: is everyone away from the keyboard?
Fearless Leader: if there's no questions at this point I'm calling a
Potty Break
chelyha55: no I'm here
chelyha55: I'm making stuff too
chelyha55: and watching you
Fearless Leader: 15 minute potty break and I'll start up again at the
half hour
Fearless Leader: and I'll save this log at this point
