Fearless Leader: that's why I went to Halifax last year
Fearless Leader: permissions a big deal if you're going to sell
someone's likeness
kmrhodes: so if you are using a relative, make sure its okay to sell
their face
Fearless Leader: that too
Fearless Leader: but it's easy enough to make faces
Fearless Leader: that are not real people
chenoa_2b: I don't know if I am going to sell any faces or not! lol
Fearless Leader: that look real enough
Fearless Leader: to make molds for
Fearless Leader: asian faces
Fearless Leader: african faces
Fearless Leader: molds you can't get most places
kmrhodes: OH, NJ, lets do this
Fearless Leader: that's the unexplored market

whole doll thing

merrie60us left the room
sew_short: Sweet Dreams Merri
chelyha: I have to bug out as well. Must clean the kitchen before The
Agency comes on
chelyha: Good night everyone
sylsnovelties: Nite
jude: ight.
jude: er...Night, too.
sew_short: Sweet Dreams
chelyha left the room
chenoa_2b: I need to see the back of them!
sew_short: I like them all - no favorites yet
sew_short: How did that one get eyes?
jude: Magic!
sylsnovelties: That happened when you were in the kitchen!
sew_short: Darn
Fearless Leader: now I ask you
Fearless Leader: does this look like it was the same face mold?
Fearless Leader: or the same canes used through out?
sew_short: Not at all
sew_short: No
NikiT: nope
chenoa_2b: the last one looks different more high cheek bones
sylsnovelties: Different canes, maybe the same face but with it's own
personality.
sew_short: One even looks like an older man
Fearless Leader: right or left with the high cheek bone?
Fearless Leader: the blue one with the dark lines on the left looks
old
Fearless Leader: for the lines simulate wrinkles
sew_short: yes
Fearless Leader: the line is in the clay
Fearless Leader: and I placed it there in the mold
chenoa_2b: The one on my left.
Fearless Leader: to highlight the cheek bone
Fearless Leader: Now this middle guy
Fearless Leader: he feels stronger
Fearless Leader: his petals flow out from his face
Fearless Leader: like an aura
Fearless Leader: he is upright
Fearless Leader: not leaning back
Fearless Leader: he is more forceful
Fearless Leader: than the last face here
Fearless Leader: This guy
Fearless Leader: since he is leaning back
Fearless Leader: his flowers dip down modestly
Fearless Leader: it seems less forceful
Fearless Leader: less assertive
Fearless Leader: same face
Fearless Leader: same colors
Fearless Leader: same canes
chenoa_2b: Amie says he looks more feminie
Fearless Leader: so we ask ourselves
Fearless Leader: yes, why does that last one seem female?
Fearless Leader: or submissive to the middle one?
chenoa_2b: More submissive?
Fearless Leader: if the more male one
chenoa_2b: Softer surrounding, more leaned back.
Fearless Leader: had eyeballs
Fearless Leader: we'd see more force from his face
Fearless Leader: these elements, petals standing up
Fearless Leader: or lying down
Fearless Leader: a face tilted back or upright
Fearless Leader: all these evoke an emotional response
Fearless Leader: from your audience
Fearless Leader: the one on the left
Fearless Leader: the face is cold
Fearless Leader: blue and grey
Fearless Leader: like death
Fearless Leader: no matter how bright the wrap
Fearless Leader: he still looks cold
Fearless Leader: the chevron lines etch his face with care and woe
Fearless Leader: we feel bad for him
Fearless Leader: we see him frown
Fearless Leader: when no frown was made from that mold impression
Fearless Leader: it's the use of color or lack of color
Fearless Leader: that gives us this emotional hit
chenoa_2b: I have to go, or be left behind!
chenoa_2b: Night!
chenoa_2b left the room
Fearless Leader: so there it is
sylsnovelties: Yeah, the difference in color does seem to change
things!
jude: I need to get going, too. Night all!
sew_short: It does
Fearless Leader: Nighty Night
greatauntjudy left the room
Fearless Leader: So I'm about done
sew_short: I never thought of the color and pattern affecting things
before!
Fearless Leader: been here three hours and Said just brought in food

expressions.

tick

It said you wished you were in CA. heeheehee
dahs512: teensy cookies
sew_short: But that sure looks good
dahs512: she used a kemper cutter circle to cut the stack
sew_short: I was going to say Texas but they are still wet so I wished
for Cal
sylsnovelties: My hubby said my stuff is looking better so not to
leave any clay food laying around or he might try to eat it

sylsnovelties: I'll eat any of it!
sew_short: lol
sew_short: NJ what size cutters are you using?
sew_short: What setting did you make the sheets with?
Fearless Leader: the cutters are the smallest available
Fearless Leader: some are custom made by Karen
Fearless Leader: like this square one
sew_short: OK - I have those, just got them.
Fearless Leader: sheet setting varies
Fearless Leader: for the oreos the white is half the thickness of the
chocolate outer layers
Fearless Leader: but I reduce stacks
Fearless Leader: so there's no way to measure really
sew_short: ok
sylsnovelties: Just by eye
sew_short: What is that you made that is just in front of the round
cutter?
Fearless Leader: also it depends on how comfortable you are with the
smaller scale
sew_short: I'm ok with the tiny
Fearless Leader: peti fours
Fearless Leader: same white pink and light brown
Fearless Leader: as the ribbon candy
sew_short: OK - hard to tell the colors tonight
sew_short: Are those cherries on the hearts
Fearless Leader: ya, but you can do what ever you want
Fearless Leader: just goof around
sew_short: OK - Is that a skinner blend?
Fearless Leader: layers
Fearless Leader: this is all super basic
sylsnovelties: Sure looks yummy
Fearless Leader: but the burnt umber
sew_short: ok and what size did you use to cut oreos?
Fearless Leader: right out of the wrapper
Fearless Leader: is perfect dark chocolate
Fearless Leader: add white for milk chocolate
Fearless Leader: next size up from the smallest
Fearless Leader: for the cookies
sylsnovelties: I think from all the food that you have made, NJ, the
thing that blew the elastic out of my panties was the breads!
sew_short: Ok -let me check
Fearless Leader: and the hearts
Fearless Leader: that heart shaped cutter is too cute
Fearless Leader: going to get something to drink
Fearless Leader: brb
sylsnovelties: That will make great stuff for valentines day.
