teri56: oh yeah - that's desert, isn't it?
jude: Really?
jude: I didn't know she was there. A saw my clay stuff and told me.
Fearless Leader: Niki is on the chat list here but not on Cam, so it's a
Yahoo thing, we're all here now

Fearless Leader: everyone have that page open?
NikiT: yes
jude: Okie, got the web page now.
sylsnovelties: My IE is being screwy and won't open. I'll follow along in
here.
Fearless Leader: The first three pictures don't count for what we're doing
right here
teri56: ok
Fearless Leader: it's the covering of the tin pictures that start on pix 4
Fearless Leader: what I'm going to do
Fearless Leader: is make the pattern for the tin
Fearless Leader: by pressing the tin to the sheet
Fearless Leader: and making impressions
Fearless Leader: with the edge of the tin
Fearless Leader: where it makes a mark
Fearless Leader: you cut right there
Fearless Leader: are you ready?
sylsnovelties: ready
jude: Ready!
teri56: yep
NikiT: k
chelyha: Go
Fearless Leader: ok, so I'm going to do two things
Fearless Leader: first I'm going to dust the work area with a little powder
NikiT: (i have to clay in my mind.. being at work without clay and whatnot)
Fearless Leader: so the sheet doesn't stick to the work surface after I've
press on it
Fearless Leader: and then I'm going to turn the sheet over
Fearless Leader: well three things
sylsnovelties: I'm claying in my mind too Niki
Fearless Leader: dust the surface
chelyha: I'm just watching too
Fearless Leader: turn the sheet over
jude: Me too, Niki.
Fearless Leader: and then roll the tin over the back side of the sheet
Fearless Leader: are we all ok with this?
jude: Yes, okie.
sylsnovelties: yup
Fearless Leader: I'll wait for Dag
teri56: uh-huh
Fearless Leader: click on my name Dag
Fearless Leader: to get the cam back
chelyha: I love the colors you used on that one
Fearless Leader: or I'll send you an invite
Fearless Leader: Primary and secondary colors are always festive
Fearless Leader: remind me of kindergarden
Fearless Leader: kid's toys
jude: I love 'em.
chelyha: I just love green, especially paired with pink
dbluwitch26: god I'm so embarrassed I got lost again
Fearless Leader: ok, now we're all on cam, I'll turn that sheet over and
dust the work surface and then roll the tin, off I go
jude: I have a whole pound of green pearl. that is such a gorgeous color.
Fearless Leader: Oh, mixed with pearl... man o man, mix with silver and gold
sylsnovelties: Sounds great
Fearless Leader: good enough to eat
Fearless Leader: off I go to do those three things
Fearless Leader: which are???
chelyha: I have to go to bed folks, must work tomorrow. Klew's back from
Denver, have to get the store ship shape for her
sylsnovelties: dusting the work surface,
sylsnovelties: rolling the tin, marking the sheet and cutting.
chelyha: So I will talk atcha all lata. Thanks NJ!
Fearless Leader: xoxo
Fearless Leader: ciao bella
jude: Night!
dbluwitch26: Sweet dreams
sylsnovelties: Nite Cheryl
chelyha left the room
Fearless Leader: roll the tin forward and backward over the sheet
Fearless Leader: to make your marks
Fearless Leader: now to roll it side to side to get the marks for the sides
of the tin
jude: This is for the top, yes?
jude: But, wait...it's for the whole thing.
sylsnovelties: She marked all sides.
Fearless Leader: I slice out the center where the hinges are
Fearless Leader: just about 1/16th of an inch worth
Fearless Leader: more or less
Fearless Leader: now I'm going to cut off the salvage
jude: There are some tutes where they cut the hinge hole after the clay is
on the tin.
Fearless Leader: all that falls outside of the indentations I put on this
sheet
Fearless Leader: ya, but that gets messy
Fearless Leader: you got to hold the tin and your fingers touch the sheet
Fearless Leader: gets messy that way
jude: Right, I can see that now.
Fearless Leader: farting about cutting off clay after it's on a tin
Fearless Leader: we hold the tin from the inside
Fearless Leader: and only press where it's necessary
Fearless Leader: to make our post production go faster
Fearless Leader: for there won't be finger prints to smooth or sand off
Fearless Leader: I'm all for ease
Fearless Leader: off I go to cut salvage unless there's a question
sylsnovelties: Me too, but I did my first one wrong.
sylsnovelties: I'll do better next time.
jude: No such thing as wrong. Just different.
Fearless Leader: the corners
Fearless Leader: I cut out little squares
Fearless Leader: those would have been pinchy darts
Fearless Leader: which I decided I don't want to do like in that tute
Fearless Leader: I asked you to look at
Fearless Leader: I pinched the corners of that green sheet
Fearless Leader: and cut them off
Fearless Leader: I find that if I cut those squares out ahead of time
Fearless Leader: there's less fussing with the tin
jude: Right.
Fearless Leader: less chance of putting prints on everything
Fearless Leader: off to cut the little squares, this sheet will barely cover
this tin, but good thing we can patch where it's short
Fearless Leader: LOL
Fearless Leader: Now I'll add these sheets to the tin
jude: That's the beauty of the clay.
Fearless Leader: I start from the hinged side first
Fearless Leader: and then work toward the opening of the tin
Fearless Leader: ok?
sylsnovelties: ok
jude: ok
Fearless Leader: missed two corners
Fearless Leader: now I'll attach it to the tin
Fearless Leader: he he he
Fearless Leader: open your tin to cover it
Fearless Leader: so you hold the tin from the inside
Fearless Leader: and only press where you must on the outside
Fearless Leader: don't hold your tin on the outside, you'll mash your
designs
Fearless Leader: ok
jude: Isn't that gorgeous?
Fearless Leader: since we just sliced off a bit for the hinge
Fearless Leader: the design will line up
Fearless Leader: if you check before applying the second sheet
Fearless Leader: I didn't line it up
sylsnovelties: Pretty stuff.
Fearless Leader: and had to take it off and put it on again
Fearless Leader: but rolling the tin on the back of the sheet
Fearless Leader: is a quick way to get your pattern
Fearless Leader: the less fussing you do while the sheet is on the tin
sylsnovelties: I'm trying again on that method.
Fearless Leader: the less you handle the outside, the less work you do
Fearless Leader: good Syl
Fearless Leader: ok, It's been two hours now
Fearless Leader: so I'm going to say save log
Fearless Leader: and we're done
