tedi382001: brb
Fearless Leader: sorry
Fearless Leader: I was sending the Whisteria blossom to the list
telling folks that we're here
Fearless Leader: that flower bead is really easy to make, four petals
up, fold two down and mash the edges together, pull the two left over
and connect their sides
Fearless Leader: they are stringable
Fearless Leader: very light weight
Katie: I love that flower. Have it on our trellis outside. Only thing
bad about it is the thick vine that seems to take over. Still love it
though.
poonkie2: I am listening the the Titanic theme song in Italian. Does
anyone speak Italian in the group ? Wish I could learn this language.
It sound so beautiful !
tedi382001: gotta go answer the phone,be back as soon as i can

husband's favorite movies.

poonkie2: Unfortunately, there are only 24 hours in a day !
Katie: right!!
Fearless Leader: Easy Breezy
JennyP: really! I need at least 30
JennyP: I am listening to stories from the Lakota, Dakotah, and
Ojibway, read by Gourd Woman, and Eagle Heart
Fearless Leader: I got SciFi channel going on
Fearless Leader: some outerspace thing
poonkie2: I'm listening to my favorite French singer now.

Fearless Leader: Welcome back, had a good call?
Katie: Hi

Fearless Leader: Said has been on my case to remember to eat
Fearless Leader: when I go through changes I forget

Fearless Leader: so he's been putting food in my face since I got
home yesterday

Fearless Leader: let me share something
tedi382001: good for him, we dont want you passing out now do we?
Fearless Leader: "Mom"
Fearless Leader: "there's folks making mistakes every day."
Fearless Leader: "Mistakes that cost lives, gazillions of dollars"
Fearless Leader: "You miscalculated the political environment is all.
No lives lost."
Fearless Leader: "So get over it"
Fearless Leader: and I just stood there and wept
Katie: Poor sweety
poonkie2: Well, he's right. I totally agree.
Fearless Leader: it's true though, I got to move forward
tedi382001: he's right you know
Fearless Leader: can't help but feel would -a, could-a, should-a, but
that's past and can't be changed
Fearless Leader: I want to know what I learned from this
Fearless Leader: that's why I wrote the blog
Fearless Leader: my disappointment was directly related to my
expectations
Fearless Leader: that came from GOOD working environments
Fearless Leader: writing it out helped a lot
Fearless Leader: getting hugs all night helped to
Fearless Leader: too
Fearless Leader: so what shall we make since we're here to clay
Fearless Leader: by golly by gum
Fearless Leader: I love the fat leaves
Fearless Leader: I want their edges to have more ripples though
Katie: purdy

jlam0401: Janice, Monticello GA
JennyP: Jenny P NW Minnesota
Fearless Leader: Poonkie I think you're the newest to making canes,
right?
poonkie2: yes
tedi382001 left the room
tedi382001 joined the room
Fearless Leader: ok, what I'm going to do first
Fearless Leader: is make a blend
tedi382001: Amy Canada
Fearless Leader: that's when we take two colors and blend a bit of
both so we have a sheet of clay with one color at one end and another
at the other
Fearless Leader: and the mixed hue in the middle, I'll get the link
for blends
Katie: re-hi Amy
Fearless Leader: Biz-Archive/Blend-Grp
Fearless Leader: if we were in real estate we'd say Re Fi
tedi382001: hi katie
Fearless Leader: now how I do blends is a little different that most
folks
Fearless Leader: for I roll up the sheets and wring them like wet
wash cloths
Fearless Leader: and then press
Fearless Leader: it makes quick work on blending colors
Fearless Leader: pop the air bubbles as you find them
Fearless Leader: that's a blend
Fearless Leader: three passes with the pasta machine
poonkie2: neat !
Fearless Leader: if you folded the colors in half
Fearless Leader: and pressed each time it would take a couple of
dozen passes to get this far
Fearless Leader: now let's fold that and run it as a long ribbon, ok?
Fearless Leader: but going from the solid color end
Fearless Leader: ok that's going to be our back ground
Fearless Leader: to put dots in a background that is a blend we got
to make snakes
Fearless Leader: and fold them in this ribbon
Fearless Leader: that's how we do stargazer lilies and the like
Fearless Leader: had to get the door I'm back now
poonkie2: should the snake be as long as the ribbon ?
Fearless Leader: nope it's going the width of the ribbon
tedi382001: darn, have to go help dh be back as soon as I can, sorry

Uterus is a homing device
