Bonny: typed the line you gave to find it
Bonny: yes
Bonny: looks good
tedi382001: better light
Fearless Leader: changed it to daylight, but we got blessed fog so
there's no harsh shadows
Bonny: fog is good LOL
tedi382001: we have a lot of fog here today too
Bonny: that reminds me..I need to make another frog
Fearless Leader: I'm goofing around with moving the camera so I can
do the clay and see the monitor
Fearless Leader: Shall I continue on the Asian Female's face?
Katie: yes
Katie: if you want to that is
Fearless Leader: okie dokie, the links for sculpting faces and stuff

Fearless Leader: Ok Bonny.
Fearless Leader: Who would like to see a face done from scratch again
Fearless Leader: we can get it to this point again
tedi382001: yes please
Fearless Leader: let's make a foil skull first
Lady Lavendar: I think I've got the gist, are we going to see the tea
pot on your table?
jude (greatauntjudy) joined the room
Fearless Leader: I find I do better that way
Katie: Hi Jude
jude: Howdy!
Fearless Leader: Howdy Jude, let's do Roll Call

Lady Lavendar: Lady Lavendar - Mary - Norfolk VA
Bonny: Bonny West Palm Beach FLorida
Katie: ohhh that tea pot is cute
Fearless Leader: Mary, do you know how to do pinch pots?
Fearless Leader: or who needs a review on pinch pots
Fearless Leader: that's all tea pots are, ya know
Lady Lavendar: Yes, we did them in the clay, pottery class I took
years ago
Katie: Oh, I didn't know what a pinch pot was
Lady Lavendar: OK
Fearless Leader: unless you make them solid, I like them hollow
because I'm thinking of making these into earrings
Bonny: my pinch pots are a disaster ..cheat by building them on
marbles hehe
Fearless Leader: ok, I'll take a disk of clay and make a quick pinch
pot
Katie: cool
tedi382001: thanks
Bonny: ooow pretty cane
Fearless Leader: I got a big cane here
jude: Nice cane there, NJ!
Fearless Leader: made of different canes cut into fourths and
shuffled together for the outside
jude: A rose is a rose is a rose, huh?
jude: brb
Fearless Leader: I want to reduce this and get a bunch of roses,
we'll loose a bit of detail around the rose but hey, we're
experimenting.
Fearless Leader: I was thinking a tea pot with a bunch of roses
Katie: sounds great
Fearless Leader: and we'll get a bunch from this one rose with
reducing it to a long snake, cutting it up and stacking it back
together
Fearless Leader: anyone have questions on cane reduction?
Fearless Leader: any one have problems with cane reduction?
Lady Lavendar: I haven't played with the canes much, need to get it
out and play some
Katie: never did it before
Fearless Leader: never made a cane before either of you?
Katie: no
Bonny: took me a lot of messed up canes till I finally got it right
Fearless Leader: should we back up a few more steps and make a cane
from scratch and then do a tea pot?
Fearless Leader: seems like there's some need for a review of the
basics
Fearless Leader: and I don't mind
Fearless Leader: honest
Katie: great
Fearless Leader: ok, let's dig out some clay and prepare it. I have
mixed colors already but they should be warmed up with the food
processor and pressed into new sheets
Fearless Leader: anyone not know about using the food processor with
chunking up clay and getting it warm?
Katie: that I do know
Fearless Leader: for our leaf
Fearless Leader: for the flower
Fearless Leader: what do you think?
Katie: colors? I like them

Katie: Hi
Bonny: Hi Cheryl
chelyha55: what is Fearless Leader working on today?
Bonny: flower and leaf canes to make a teapot etc
chelyha55: ah, cool
Bonny: I've been using up my junky canes on my fish clocks
chelyha55: I think I'm going to move my table over here so I can work
while I watch
Bonny: good idea..glad I have everything in one small room
chelyha55: Idon't have to move it far, just a few feet. My living
room is my studio
Bonny: neat..only thing I'm missing is a tv lol
chelyha55: I have that too
Bonny: hubby got me a new cd drive for my computer and now I can play
video cds so that will help
tedi382001 left the room
tedi382001 joined the room
Bonny: wb amy..need some super glue?
chelyha55: that's cool
tedi382001: sorry about that, got booted,yep I do bonny
Katie: do you mean, you can now play dvd's Bonny?
Bonny: yes Katie..lol blond moment on the right word
Bonny: I've been having too many blond moments lately
Katie: That's ok, I just wondered if we can play dvd's. New computer,
and we're just learning what we can do. It's got two places for cd's
Katie: I think I've had them since birth
Bonny: you probably can
Katie:
Katie: good, I'll have to experiment
Bonny: I REFUSE to call them senior moments
crysalis7: You can probably also burn CD's. Make sure you check out
itunes.com.
Katie: in other words, shove a dvd in and see what happens
Katie: Ha, me too Bonny
Bonny: yep
crysalis7: I have blond moments all the time, and I'm not even a
natural blond.
Katie: Oh my, that's one thing my husband wants to learn really bad.
Burn a CD
chelyha55: if it has two drives probably one of them will play dvds
Bonny: I can burn cds now too. I've got musicmatch and can buy tracks
for $.99
Katie: cool
crysalis7: it's simple. Even I can do it.
Katie: We have musicmatch too
Bonny: listening to it now while claying..just got it thursday
crysalis7: Same with Itunes, and they always have the whole CD for
less than you pay in stores.
Bonny: same here ..most are $9.99
crysalis7: x-zactly.
Katie: What he wants to do is take certain songs from one cd and put
it on these blank ones that we have. So he can have a cd of favorites.
Bonny: only thing is they don't have any mars lasar or manheim
steamroller..only 1 song for each
crysalis7: easy. You copy the cd to your computer,using whatever
player you have or can download. Then, copy them to a cd.
Katie: good...we plan on trying that tomorrow
crysalis7: Just be careful of players that come loaded with spyware,
like Kazaa.
crysalis7: I'll ask my son what program we use, I have no clue.
Katie: ok, thanks
Katie: Poor NJ...lots of work to this
crysalis7: He says we use itunes. It's very userfriendly.
Katie: ok
chelyha55: nah she loves it!
Katie: she sure does
chelyha55: I'm making up my auction "sets". I add some accent beads
to the focal and include them in the auction
Bonny: true Cheryl..if she didn't she wouldn't be doing it

the press?
Fearless Leader: Raising cane

clay once
MaMa Duke: great
Katie: k
tedi382001: Amy Canada
Fearless Leader: if I don't have the clay warmed up with the food
processor maybe 4-5 times

Fearless Leader: the first link, the demo on the chevron flip, it has
a leaf that has gold in the center
Fearless Leader: MSAT/ClayArt/WebCam/05-29-03- DemoLog1.htm
Fearless Leader: This is done by making a blend, two colors that are
then rolled like a jelly roll
Fearless Leader: this is my favorite way to introduce blends to
folks, by making leaves with it
Fearless Leader: are you all game on this plan?
Katie: yes
crysalis7: Well, I have to go to the grocery store. Too much in
common with Mother Hubbard.

machine,

Lady Lavendar: seen it but haven't been brave yet
Fearless Leader: I'm going to show you how to do that blend with less
passes through the press
Fearless Leader: we're going to go Rock and Roll with it
chelyha55: I have watched this so many times and I still can't figure
it out
Fearless Leader: We're going to Twist and Shout and Knock ourselves
out
Fearless Leader: we start just like any blend, with colors that are
overlapping
Bonny: same here Cheryl..I end up with mud and go back to the old way
LOL
chelyha55: yeah it's so weird
Fearless Leader: when you press sheets you often get these pointed
bits at the end
Fearless Leader: I just over lap them, I'm so OVER measuring for no
good purpose
Bonny: yea it's sticking it's tonge out
Fearless Leader: Now I'm going to roll this like a Buritto, or a
Blunt, depending on which neighborhood you hang in
Fearless Leader: with me so far?

away from my desk for about 15 minutes Sorry and Thanks
Fearless Leader: ok Mary
MaMa Duke: gotta do what you gotta do!
chelyha55: where I had the problem was that I didn't flatten it out
enough before I tried to put it thru the pm
chelyha55: so it bunched up and just went all wonky
Katie: cute word...wonky
chelyha55: that's NJ's word
chelyha55: I'm going to try it again
MaMa Duke: very nice!
Katie:
chelyha55: the less cranking the better
MaMa Duke: that's why I wanted to see it
Fearless Leader: now we press it to a long ribbon

close
Fearless Leader: questions?
Katie: no
MaMa Duke: no
Fearless Leader: ok let me save log and I'll press the blend into a
ribbon

roped me
Bonny: LOL nope figured it might help keep you in the room

square of marble but the clay sticks to it, if I don't keep wiping it
down with a dry cloth
Katie: good question

familiar with it?
tedi382001: no I dont think so , give me a hint
Fearless Leader: I'm going to cut this stack on the diagonal
Fearless Leader: you can do it with flat sheets or with fat ribbon
blends, the technique is the same
chelyha55: Oak Island is off of Nova Scotia in Mahone Bay and there
is supposedly a treasure buried there
Fearless Leader: after I cut this I'm flipping one side over and that
gives us the chevrons
Lady Lavendar: Isn't that the one where the treasure will be found
when all the oaks are gone?
chelyha55: yeah, that's part of the legend

a friend tried to go into Canada and he used his license, but they
wouldn't let him go over. Are they doing something different now?
tedi382001: I havent been over in along time, but I think on both
sides you need a passport
Katie: I heard they were going to start doing that. We like going
over to Niagara Falls Canada once in a blue moon.
Katie: We're about an hour away from Niagara Falls.
tedi382001: they are getting pretty strict, I'm 3 hours north of
Niagara Falls
Katie: where do you get a passport?

month
kmrhodes: all international orders are under more security
kmrhodes: and are taking longer to get to their destination
kmrhodes: 3 countries especially affected are
kmrhodes: United Kingdom, Canada, and Austrailia
kmrhodes: Customs is holding packages and being more secure
crzy4dzny left the room
kmrhodes: they might open more packages and do more screening
