bonsaikathy: I messed up the beginning because I didn't realize that
it would all go away at the beginning but have a good portion of it.
Still new to this
jude: bak, sorry
frogger70301: good.
Fearless Leader: Kathy
Fearless Leader: don't worry
Fearless Leader: what you get is God's Will
bonsaikathy: ok
Fearless Leader: know know how easy I am
bonsaikathy: take care all,
Fearless Leader: nighty night
bonsaikathy: see ya
bonsaikathy left the room
Fearless Leader: what's on the menu Ladies?
jude: Hmmm....
jude: Mini food, huh?
Fearless Leader: it's like eating in the military
jude: How about Mexican corn?
Fearless Leader: take all you want but eat all you take
Fearless Leader: ask for what you want but stay to see it done
jude: Cornon the cob.
Fearless Leader: we can do both
Fearless Leader: hold on
jude: Well, Mexican corn on the cob. hehehe
jude: Actully, this would be for a Southwest room box.
Fearless Leader: ok you know the colors for Tongues of Fire?
Fearless Leader: just red, yellow, white and black
jude: Ah...red, black...
jude: Okie, yellow and white.
Fearless Leader: this is a bit of a block of chop
Fearless Leader: from tongues of fire
Fearless Leader: the trims and such all
jude: I could chop a bit of that up.
merrie60us: oops gotta go sorry bye
merrie60us left the room
Fearless Leader: there's a pot made with TOF
Fearless Leader: so I take the chop from that cane
jude: Okie.
Fearless Leader: and do a loaf
Fearless Leader: take a slice
Fearless Leader: slice that into strips
Fearless Leader: then roll these strips into snakes
Fearless Leader: cut that snake into sections and lay them side by
side
Fearless Leader: get a cob
Fearless Leader: any color really
Fearless Leader: none will show
Fearless Leader: then slice a row of kernels and plant them on the
cob, like this
jude: Okie.
Fearless Leader: I stagger the rows
jude: Oh, my!
Fearless Leader: so there's no straight line going across the cob
Fearless Leader: do 3-4 rows
Fearless Leader: and then cut some leaves
Fearless Leader: to go around the bare cob
jude: right.
jude: Wow!
Fearless Leader: like that
Fearless Leader: easy breezy
Fearless Leader: next?
Fearless Leader: LOL
jude: It looks so easy that way.
jude: Wowser.
Fearless Leader: that's because it IS easy
Fearless Leader: that way
Fearless Leader: he he he
Fearless Leader: any other requests?
jude: Thanks!
jude: Waiting for the good like again for a good web shot!
Fearless Leader: Hey my pleasure, the tute tile was still set up
jude: er...like=light
Fearless Leader: ok, I was going "huh?"
Fearless Leader: LOL
jude: Yes! Every once in a great while the picture got good.
jude: I tried to get a few web shots, but didn't think of it until you
had already done half of it.
Fearless Leader: we got it in an album already
frogger70301: ok, last orange question. Do you reduce all the way then
put the outer layer, or reduce just a bit then cover then finish
reducing?
Fearless Leader: a bit
jude: We do? Oh! Okie good!
Fearless Leader: don't reduce the whole cane for it makes messy
storage
Fearless Leader: Jude I'll get the url
Fearless Leader: http://www.geocities.com/lindaslists/njindiancorn.htm
jude: Thanks!
Fearless Leader: Linda Bohrn put it on her website
Fearless Leader: I couldn't find it at first, but it's on the webcam
index
Fearless Leader: WebCam Index
Fearless Leader: same exact block of chop
Fearless Leader: I used the same tute tile as the last Indian Corn
Demo
Fearless Leader: LOL
Fearless Leader: kept it around, figured folks would want to see it
the closer we got to Thanksgiving and Kwaanza
frogger70301: And I messed it up!
Fearless Leader: we all mess up the first time out
Fearless Leader: what do you think you did wonky?
Fearless Leader: could still press slices of that on black
Fearless Leader: for the citrus on black sheets
Fearless Leader: those don't need perfect slices
Fearless Leader: you could make a bowl
frogger70301: lost it in reduction. Sections went wonky.
Fearless Leader: like Teri
Fearless Leader: you reduced it all instead of only one end?
frogger70301: nope. Didn't even reduce 1/4 of it.
frogger70301: well, maybe 1/3
Fearless Leader: did you roll or pull the cane?
Fearless Leader: to reduce?
frogger70301: pinch.
Fearless Leader: when you pinch you wonk up the sheets inside
frogger70301: I guess it would be more like pulling.
Fearless Leader: pulling keeps your design
Fearless Leader: ya, if you want your Mona Lisa face cane not to look
like she lost a bar fight
Fearless Leader: pull it
Fearless Leader: don't pinch
Fearless Leader: or roll
Fearless Leader: you got to pinch it a little
Fearless Leader: go gain a grip
Fearless Leader: but you pinch
Fearless Leader: evenly
frogger70301: I put my fingers around it lengthways, then kind of
pressed in a little to grip it, then pulled a little.
Fearless Leader: around the middle and then pull
Fearless Leader: how big was the section of cane before reducing?
frogger70301: Not quite an inch.
Fearless Leader: next time when working with a cane that size
Fearless Leader: instead of pinching it at all
frogger70301: got it down to about half.
Fearless Leader: just get a grip
Fearless Leader: on the outside and start pulling
Fearless Leader: change your position of your fingers
Fearless Leader: let me show you
Fearless Leader: ready?
frogger70301: yeah.
Fearless Leader: I pull and turn
Fearless Leader: pull and turn
Fearless Leader: check the ends so they don't cave in
Fearless Leader: pull lightly
Fearless Leader: and turn
Fearless Leader: ease those short fat canes out
frogger70301: trying it out.
Fearless Leader: like that
Fearless Leader: pull and turn and pull and turn
frogger70301: I think it might be okay.
frogger70301: Maybe just need to let it rest a little.
Fearless Leader: my sheets were dried out
Fearless Leader: even in aluminum foil
Fearless Leader: for storage
Fearless Leader: it cracked
Fearless Leader: and was a hassle to work with
Fearless Leader: for it was the sheet from when I did that New Orange
Tute
Fearless Leader: time to refresh the mixes
Fearless Leader: now one could do more segments there
frogger70301: I got a little piece about a quarter inch, and left it.
Just tried it and it looks ok to me.
Fearless Leader: I kept it down to six for demo purposes
Fearless Leader: coolness
Fearless Leader: it needed to be pulled, well that's a good lesson for
all straight lines you want to keep straight, huh?
frogger70301: yeah.
