From FeatherCane to Half Past Dinner Break
Fearless Leader: so who
didn't see the blue and silver examples?
sylsnovelties: Me!
dahs512: me
techi_mom56 left the room
dbdove: be back in a little bit not leaving just gonna go try
something
Fearless Leader: Syl, let me show you the blue and silver sheets
sylsnovelties: blue and silver jelly roll blend?
Fearless Leader: yup
Fearless Leader: that's it without reducing
dahs512: ooooooh, pretty
sylsnovelties: Very nice.
Fearless Leader: if you reduce it and slice and do like a lace cane
sylsnovelties: Like the one you did before?
Fearless Leader: yup, just different colors
sylsnovelties: ok, gotcha!
Fearless Leader: here are some sheets I made last night
dahs512: it's just a silver to blue?
Fearless Leader: yup
Fearless Leader: this afternoon's sheet
sylsnovelties: so, so pretty!
sylsnovelties: Would make a nice feather for a blue bird!!
Fearless Leader: now if we did it with sheets and not a blend
Fearless Leader: but if we reduced it and cut and stacked it again
Fearless Leader: see how the mica shift makes zig zag designs?
sylsnovelties: sure does.
Fearless Leader: how the light reflects off of the silver with these
stacked sheets done as chevron flips
Fearless Leader: it's just too yummy
Fearless Leader: that is the building block of this sheet
Fearless Leader: just stacked sheets
Fearless Leader: chevron flip
Fearless Leader: center vein
Fearless Leader: reduce, slice and stack
Fearless Leader: then press
Fearless Leader: it's really simple to do, but folks look at the
finished sheet
Fearless Leader: and their eyes glaze like donuts
Fearless Leader: and that's not necessary
Fearless Leader: break down the pattern to it's elemental bits
Fearless Leader: like this square here with the center vein is the
element that builds this
Fearless Leader: Time for a break for me
Fearless Leader: if there's no other questions
sylsnovelties: okie, mine can wait.
Fearless Leader: ask now honey
sylsnovelties: Ok
Fearless Leader: while it's on your mind
sylsnovelties: When I cut slices and put on a sheet and through the
PM, they distort and don't look good at all. Should I have a smaller
pattern on my cane or thinner slices?
Fearless Leader: thin out the sheet you're putting things on
Fearless Leader: take your cane slices and run them through the press
as well
Fearless Leader: you can pull and tug them into the shape you need
Fearless Leader: then before you press
Fearless Leader: roll it with a roller, side of a mayo jar
Fearless Leader: so they are all the same level
Fearless Leader: then when you press it
Fearless Leader: start out with the widest setting
Fearless Leader: press
Fearless Leader: narrow the setting one step
jill_z_q joined the room
Fearless Leader: turn the sheet
Fearless Leader: and then press again
jill_z_q: hihi
Fearless Leader: do that for all four directions so the stretching of
the pattern is even all the way around
Fearless Leader: Hey Suzy
sylsnovelties: Ok, that helps!
sylsnovelties: I will try it again!
Fearless Leader: if you thin things out bit by bit
Fearless Leader: you're not jamming thick slices on a thick sheet at a
narrow setting
Fearless Leader: that is what makes the designs smear
Fearless Leader: it's too shocking to them
Fearless Leader: little by little is the best bet
Fearless Leader: with this particular sheet it's too big to to into
the press
sylsnovelties: Great, thanks NJ!
Fearless Leader: so I just tugged and pulled at it
Fearless Leader: like pizza dough
sylsnovelties: It's gorgeous!
Fearless Leader: but I like this one the best
jill_z_q: I think they are all just wonderful! hehee
jill_z_q left the room
sylsnovelties: Denise I lost your cam.
NikiT: same here
dahs512: hmmmm
sylsnovelties: The other day she said she would unpause, I think.
sylsnovelties: NJ, that is a huge sheet!
Fearless Leader: close her cam window and open it again, does that
help?
techi_mom56 joined the room
NikiT: that worked
sylsnovelties: I clicked on restart and that did it.
sylsnovelties: I love the colors of your chops!
dahs512: I always make a chop block of my cane scraps
dahs512: for later
sylsnovelties: I just want them to be mine! heeheehee
Fearless Leader: Oh Cool Denise. I'm on break now
sylsnovelties: I love that!!
Fearless Leader: Yummy, looks like a goddess or demigod
NikiT: NJ did you see the last dragons that I did a couple weeks ago?
Fearless Leader: Probably not Niki, I was financially distracted
Fearless Leader: and hustling and grubbing
NikiT: i sent them to the pix list...
Fearless Leader: Ok, I'll go back and check. I might have and then
with Old Timer's Disease it didn't make it to my long term memory
dahs512: Happy birthday Niki
Fearless Leader: could be the bong too, but I digress
dahs512: lol
NikiT: so if you want to go back thru & look.. i used chop & toss

dahs512: my cam is stuck
Fearless Leader: hmmm, give it a kick?
Fearless Leader: shut it and open again
Fearless Leader: oh you're moving now
NikiT: pix i sent were on 10/28
Fearless Leader: That tiger slice looks like my first effort. Then I
realized that the pearl on the outside is more like the tiger
Fearless Leader: Ok, thanks Niki. Ya that was a hairy time for me.
dahs512: I did it by looking at your old tiger
Fearless Leader: copying my mistakes
Fearless Leader: lock stock and barrel
Fearless Leader: ain't that a bitch
Fearless Leader: LOL
Fearless Leader: my bad
dahs512: i like your mistakes
Fearless Leader: Thanks honey, I love it when folks like my mistakes
Fearless Leader: they are then redeemed
Fearless Leader: and not wasted effort

Fearless Leader: Nice, very very nice
dahs512: where i got the colors
Fearless Leader: I'm not going to take a dinner break, but I'm going
to be doing my own clay stuff during the next two hours
Fearless Leader: my schedule was 6-8 dinner break, but I'm going to do
personal claying instead

jude: Right.
dahs512:
sylsnovelties: NJ is doing some of her own claying and Denise has her
canes out and is going to do something with them.
merrie60us: two webcams at once?
Fearless Leader: I'm on a clay break
sylsnovelties: Yup
NikiT: hm. all this webcam stuff makes me want to dig out the cheapy
creative webcam J got a couple years ago and see how well it works.
merrie60us: how do I see both at same time?
dahs512: I'm claying with NJ
sylsnovelties: Yeah, Niki, try it.
dahs512: a virtual clay play
Fearless Leader: open both cams, reduce the size of the chat screen
NikiT: they will open in separate windows
sylsnovelties: I have the chat window about half screen and then one
webcam on top side and one on bottom side.
dahs512: yes
NikiT: well, I will, but I am at work now so it'd have to wait.
Fearless Leader: This is a ManFaced Tiger
Fearless Leader: Nagaman got cured
Fearless Leader: and I'm smoothing out the rough spots

merrie60us: Denise we can't see what you are doing with your hands
when you are working on the canes
dahs512: aha
dahs512: that durn lighting
sylsnovelties: I am glad I watched you making these beads. I have not
been doing mine like that and it shows!
techi_mom56: i do like that blue flower...
Fearless Leader: she's flipping us off
Fearless Leader: well I never
sylsnovelties: Me too.
Fearless Leader: LOL
sylsnovelties: heeheehee
dahs512: i like that finger
sylsnovelties: Is that just the side of your blade to smooth it?
merrie60us: looks like a metal knitting needle or something like that
sylsnovelties: oh, ok.
merrie60us: are those slices really really thin
dahs512: i call it a poker thang
merrie60us: a hole maker
sylsnovelties: Ahh, the technical name for it
sylsnovelties: They look paper thin.
dahs512: i ran this slice through the littlest setting on the pm
sylsnovelties: That is thin alright.
merrie60us: and it didn't distort?
dahs512: i had it pretty thin already
sylsnovelties: Most of my slices are chubs!
dahs512: i think thinner better
sylsnovelties: I think so too.
dahs512: in fact, i try to press it out even farther with the tool
merrie60us: the thinner the better
merrie60us: Do you cup your hands when you roll
merrie60us: is that white or translucent?
merrie60us: curious minds want to know
dahs512: both
merrie60us: thanks
dahs512: maybe shhets would be easier and then wrap the beads?
dahs512: sheets
daytonlinda joined the room
frogger70301 joined the room
NikiT: with sheets you have to deal with the folds
merrie60us: shave them off
dahs512: but you could cover a bad spot with a slice
NikiT: when placing on a spherical object
NikiT: true enough
dahs512: NJ what are you doing?
dahs512: is she wiping?
merrie60us: Looks like she is rubbing something on her figure
merrie60us: might be acrylic paint to give it an aged look?
dahs512: or smoothing?
Fearless Leader: buffing
merrie60us: oops
dahs512: oh
Fearless Leader: I file these things, then dry sand them, then buff
them with fabric
Fearless Leader: it gets a bit of a sheen, but it's not all HECKA
shiney like I dipped it in Future
merrie60us: file with what?
Fearless Leader: I buffed Nagaman
Fearless Leader: jeweler's files I'll show you
merrie60us: I like his face
Fearless Leader: I do too, that's why his pictures is on the List's
webpage
merrie60us: Denise how many layers do you apply and are you putting
some of them on top of each other?
Fearless Leader: his sense of Wonder, like he's saying "Whoa..."
merrie60us: nice cheekbones
dahs512: First time other than this
merrie60us: ?
dahs512: and i didn't like that
merrie60us: I like the one in your hand
dahs512: in fact li think I'll add a layer to this
merrie60us: Is it already baked?
sylsnovelties: So, if you don't like the looks of it, you just shave
off another cane slice and cover it some more?
dahs512: yes
dahs512: and yes
merrie60us: when the slices are so thin after baking, when you sand
can you sand them off?
dahs512: yes
merrie60us: Do you sand?
merrie60us: Sorry for so many questions
dahs512: yes
dahs512: see here
sylsnovelties: Questions are the only way we can learn.
dahs512: almost sanded through
sylsnovelties: If you don't ask them, I probably will. heeheehee
