You are in "*g.MSATClayArt:1"
( )
buci131: Yes, I did
auntyalias: zebra's next
dahs512: Ready
merrie60us: oh goody
buci131: Are the stripes the same as the tiger?
lindaslists: cool
auntyalias: I sent the pix of the leopard through, let's take a break here
lindaslists: good
auntyalias: answer any questions
sylsnovelties: ok.
lindaslists: what colors for the zebra
buci131: Are the zebra stripes the same as the tiger stripes?
auntyalias: go potty, get more drinks
auntyalias: just pearl and black fo rme
sylsnovelties: You made this look so easy NJ.
lindaslists: ok
auntyalias: it is easy
auntyalias: just don't be so darned delicate about it
auntyalias: use the ARM OF DOOM
auntyalias: pull that cane
auntyalias: slap it around
sylsnovelties: I've sure learned that from watching the demos.
auntyalias: I'm going to get more Iced Tea and then I'll prepare some pearl for the zebra
auntyalias: brb
jakmiami: Just saw the pics. But I always thought the spots are dark on a gold background. We seem to have gotten gold spots on black...
sylsnovelties: brb
auntyalias: make your spots any way you want to, different spotted animals have different configurations, the Ocelot has a C shape of black spots around a center core
auntyalias: other animals have the surrounding color a blend of dark to light
auntyalias: and the spots are within that blend, that's what I'm aiming for
auntyalias: but it's still no cigar
auntyalias: but these Demos are rushed affairs
auntyalias: the stuff I made in demo is always quickly and if left to my own devices I'd fiddle with it more
auntyalias: I'll prep the pearl for the zebra
jakmiami: I see...
auntyalias: Eva I'm going to show you the Easy Breezy blend while I'm at it here
auntyalias: you didn't get to see a good example of it
buci131: Goody, thanks!
auntyalias: ok you with me so far?
lazybird54: Yep
auntyalias: see how it's folded over
auntyalias: pearl edge to pearl edge
buci131: yes
auntyalias: brown edge to brown edge?
auntyalias: the overlapping colors are what will blend
auntyalias: I will pass this through the press once folded in half
auntyalias: the other times I pass it through it will be after it is rolled
auntyalias: mashed
auntyalias: and bulled through the rollers
auntyalias: so one pass equals 6 half folds
auntyalias: are we ready?
buci131: What two colors--pearl and...?
auntyalias: any two colors
auntyalias: it's the technique that's important, the colors are up to you
auntyalias: any shading you want in your cane you do as a blend
auntyalias: to get the shadow and highlight in one section of leaf, you do a blend
auntyalias: so first time fold in half
auntyalias: on pass folded in half, the rest of the passes it's done rolled like a cigar
auntyalias: so all the pearl is at one end and all the brown is at the other
auntyalias: pinch a ridge to go into the rollers
auntyalias: put that ridge between the rollers and run that cigar through
auntyalias: on that's one pass
auntyalias: by three we'll be blended
auntyalias: two cigar passes
auntyalias: the third it'll look really blended
sylsnovelties: So quick too.
auntyalias: four cigar rolls and a half fold
buci131: That is so amazing!
auntyalias: ok, now to make the ribbon
lazybird54: very cool!
buci131:
You
know I'll be doing a few of those this week 
auntyalias: ok now
auntyalias: roll that ribbon, shall we do it with the pearl in the center
auntyalias: for a highlight?
buci131: sounds good to me
auntyalias: oh GOSH it's mashed
auntyalias: well let's put it through a few paces then
buci131: Heehee
greatauntjudy: Sigh...more clay abuse.
greatauntjudy: I'm keeping track, you know.
lindaslists: boot to the head
buci131: Are we doing zebra?
lindaslists: soon
merrie60us: what are we doing at this point
merrie60us: stacking
buci131: Oh, ok--I thought she was showing us a diff way to do it--thank just slice and splice, I mean
buci131: Did she just cut it lengthwise?
lindaslists: at an angle
buci131: Okay
buci131: Like doing a chevron?
lindaslists: chevron like a leaf cane
lindaslists: cool leaf
auntyalias: With a blend
auntyalias: done as a jelly roll
auntyalias: used as sections for your leaves
auntyalias: you can get depth in shading
auntyalias: and highlights in the center of the leaf
lindaslists: I gotta remember that trick
auntyalias: it makes flat clay look sculpted
auntyalias: It's in the leaf section
auntyalias: in Autumn Leaves
auntyalias: I did it with green and orange
auntyalias: are we ready for zebra?
lindaslists: yes
merrie60us: yes
sylsnovelties: yu]
greatauntjudy: Zebra, zebra, zebra!
buci131: sure thing
auntyalias: okie dokie two colors only but as always there's a trick
buci131:
Trick
or treat--or both
lindaslists: are they both the same thickness
buci131: Looks like it.
auntyalias: They are both the same thickness
lindaslists: ok
auntyalias: and part is pressed together
merrie60us: cut five pieces?
buci131: Random sized pieces?
auntyalias: I'm going to taper the edges, any amount
auntyalias: just make them varied
auntyalias: now to taper
buci131: You tapered both edges on each piece?
auntyalias: yup
auntyalias: now I'm going to stack them without any particular plan
buci131: Okay, you place a white sheet on a black sheet, cut it into varied pieces, any amount. Take one piece and run it through the pm and cut it into varied pieces, any amount and then taper--is that correct?

lindaslists: what is the core center?
lindaslists left the room
lindaslists joined the room
lindaslists: oh
greatauntjudy: You stacked and then folded?
auntyalias: ok that double "U" bit there
auntyalias: that's stacked sheets with no tapering or anything just bent in half
auntyalias: and then two of them are put together, it was the earlier zebra that I did when the cam was confused
sylsnovelties: two going in opposite directions.
auntyalias: I took the tapered sheets I prepared
auntyalias: and just layered them so there's short and long and wide and thin parts
lindaslists: cool
auntyalias: when people make zebra with uniform stripes, not tapered, not thick and thin, not overlapping
auntyalias: it just looks like jail uniforms
sylsnovelties: heeheehee
auntyalias: let me send a picture through the pix list on this
jakmiami: Very nice. And a great way to end the evening...'night all.
jakmiami left the room
dahs512: NJ I'll send this part to you as Zebra
lindaslists: sick, gotta go
lindaslists left the room
merrie60us: Good nite everyone and thank you Nora Jean for all your hard work it's very late here. bye
merrie60us left the room
lazybird54: I'm fading fast, too! Bye, bye...it was great!
snooks2312: NJ, when you layer the different parts, is there any rhyme or reason to putting the different things together, or is it just a "go for it" kinda thing?
lazybird54 left the room
buci131: She said no particulae order
auntyalias: Ok, back
auntyalias: just eyeball it, I sent the picture to the pix list
auntyalias: it looks nicer in the picture
snooks2312: ok, thanks
dahs512: Hey NJ are you up for an impromptu ear?
auntyalias: so are there any questions and then we'll finish up on the hour
auntyalias: ah, the ear
auntyalias: yes
dahs512: really?
sylsnovelties: I have one.
sylsnovelties: When you do the center part, that was the same stacked up stuff just folded in half and then two of them in opposite directions?
dahs512: I've been stuck on my head and nj graciously said she'd show me how
auntyalias: yes, Syl that's exactly how it was done
auntyalias: good eye there
dahs512: i thought you meant you had an ear...lol
sylsnovelties: ok, good!
auntyalias: are we ready for the ear?
buci131: I'm gonna shut this down for tonight. NJ--great stuff, thanks bunches
dahs512: yes
auntyalias: No worries Eva, you ok with the Blend?
snooks2312: I'm here, and up for the ear
buci131: Oh, yeah absolutely. I definitely needed to see it done, though
auntyalias: I'm going to do the ear in pearl so you can see it done
buci131: Later all.
buci131 left the room
auntyalias: First you find the back of the jaw
auntyalias: back of the jaw
auntyalias: the ear lobe will be centered along that back of the jaw line
auntyalias: let's put a line so we can see what we're doing
auntyalias: that's the ear lobe line
auntyalias: now measure from the eye
dahs512: the part where the lobe attaches?
auntyalias: yes, where the lobes attach, for the most part, but do you see the two lines, by the eye and by the jaw?
dahs512: yes
snooks2312: i see them too
auntyalias: Third line straight up along the back of the jaw
auntyalias: That's where the ear starts lifting up off of the head
auntyalias: an ear is a small leaf shape
dahs512: I got my mirror out
auntyalias: if you took it off your head and unfurled it
snooks2312: ok
auntyalias: feel it with your fingers
auntyalias: along your back jaw
auntyalias: along your eye
auntyalias: so let me get a small leaf shaped kemper took and cut us an ear
snooks2312: thats neat, never thought of the placement like that before
auntyalias: ouch
snooks2312: are you cutting into the side of the head where the markings are?
dahs512: the glare
dahs512: ok
auntyalias: that's it in the rough
auntyalias: but that's how you line up the ear
auntyalias: with the back of the jaw
auntyalias: along the eye
dahs512: NJ is your camera on super?
auntyalias: double zoom with macro
auntyalias: oh my webcam?
dahs512: I'm having a rough time seeing?
auntyalias: it's saying Super Mode is unavailable
dahs512: yes
dahs512: oh
dahs512: can you put a pic on the piclist?
auntyalias: Will do
dahs512: thanks, I watched your movements, but couldn't see the details
dahs512: Ic
dahs512: I see!
auntyalias: this webcam isn't the best
dahs512: did you just tweak the lobe?
auntyalias: but I'll send a picture through the pix list. It needs a lot of tweaking
dahs512: Thanks for your help.
auntyalias: those lines are just where it's place, how it will be shaped takes a little more time and care
auntyalias: did it help is the question
dahs512: What kind of webcam do you have?
auntyalias: IBM PC cam
snooks2312: helped me out
dahs512: yes you helped a lot
auntyalias: piece of caca
auntyalias: snooks... what's your name, I don't recognize your Yahoo ID
snooks2312: Janice Roach
auntyalias: Ah hey there
dahs512: I put a webcam on my wishlist for my b-day
auntyalias: nice to meet you
snooks2312: first time in here, had to reload yahoo
auntyalias: first time in chat with cam?
snooks2312: yup
auntyalias: ain't it a riot?
dahs512: pretty cool, huh?
snooks2312: its great, wish i had one.
auntyalias: This cam cost $40
auntyalias: there's some cheaper and more crappy
auntyalias: LOL
dahs512: how old is it?
snooks2312: my inlaws have one
snooks2312: want a few other toys first
dahs512: I was told you can set some of the crappy ones to work pretty good
auntyalias: I have lighting problems when I'm showing demos at Sunset
auntyalias: the lighting always changes, then at night my lighting sucks
auntyalias: got to figure that out
dahs512: You are so computer savy, but I could check into it for you?
snooks2312: what time is it there NJ? It's now 11:10pm here in Manitoba
auntyalias: Well I'm done for tonight, unless there's any other questions
auntyalias: 9pm in San Francisco
