Shargoose=Sharon V in TN: OK, NJ you da boss
Fearless Leader: or the holly cane?
marlea_anderson: yes nj- how would i make a two part mold
Shannon: face molds.... did you just press the clay in? or is it
coated with something first?
Shargoose=Sharon V in TN: I'm taking screen shots
DTIntermart: LOL I was answering you NJ, I said snow for Monday..
Fearless Leader: Ah, ok Brooklyn Doug, just checking
Shargoose=Sharon V in TN: Whenever, I come on it's something I do
Fearless Leader: Shannon, about the face molds, I take a sculpted
face, dust with baby powder and then press raw clay over it
Fearless Leader: the white you see on this face impression is baby
powder
Shannon: that's cool Sharon! I was stressing... I finally figured
out a way to get mine to work again!
Shargoose=Sharon V in TN: Good, Shannon
Shannon: oh ok.... gotcha!
electron_forge: Marlea I have a good site for making 2 part molds
form RTV Silicone. Does that help?
Fearless Leader: Ok, making a mini wreath around this face is really
easy, once you make a gazillion holly leaves, that is.
jill_z_q: my sock is heating
jill_z_q: hmm
electron_forge: LOL
marlea_anderson: that would be worth a look see douglas
Shargoose=Sharon V in TN: If I leave the group someone will have to
take the shots
DTIntermart: TY NJ, I do have a questin thought, can you show how to
make a minixmas tree ?
Fearless Leader: I'll get a link to show you how some from the past
came out
Shannon: only a gazillion???
Fearless Leader: Doug in Brooklyn. I was thinking of that and I
thought a cone of clay and a tooth brush
Fearless Leader: an abusive relationship between the two
Fearless Leader: might work for a mini tree
electron_forge: http://www.hirstarts.com/moldmake/moldmaking.html
electron_forge: there Marlea
Fearless Leader: Yes, Shannon, a gazillion, take or leave a boatload
Shannon: Doug.... or maybe a cone and a V shaped tool?
marlea_anderson: thanks Douglas- I'll bookmark it
electron_forge: I have a link for free samples of RTV too
Fearless Leader: New_Projects/HollyDaze/2000-
Holidays.htm

Fearless Leader: that's the collection of holly efforts over the
years
Shargoose=Sharon V in TN: Take the Kemper star cutters and make many
green stars different sizes
Shargoose=Sharon V in TN: Stack them and you have a tree
DTIntermart: lol sounds good but my tree is only 1 1/8 inch tall it
has to fit in a chicken egg....
Shannon: oh that's a neat idea Sharon!
Shargoose=Sharon V in TN: Use the star cutters, Doug
DTIntermart: would the tooth brush work on something that small?
Shargoose=Sharon V in TN: I made a bunch of earrings this way
marlea_anderson: send away douglas
Shargoose=Sharon V in TN: Put seed beads for the colored lights
jill_z_q: is it going to be a douglas fir?
jill_z_q: giggles
Rossija: LOL
Shannon: if it were me Doug, I'd use the edge of a razor blade and
just sort of "dig up" the texture
DTIntermart: LOL
electron_forge:

topicID=453.topic

Shannon: the fun part would be Not squishing the rest of the tree
while you're doing it LOL
marlea_anderson: thanks
DTIntermart: That's what I did shannon, with anexacto.
Shargoose=Sharon V in TN: Use your needle tool to form the branches
DTIntermart: that's exactly what happened.. MUSH
Shannon: and maybe put it on a dowel to hold it, so your fingers
don't touch?
DTIntermart: that may work, or a skewer....
Shannon: yep!
Shannon: a toothpick even!
jill_z_q: all I know is I want to see pics when your done
Fearless Leader: I put the leaf on the base and press on the stem
from underneath
DTIntermart: that darn thing is smaller than my thumb...
Fearless Leader: then bend it down
DTIntermart: I need a magnifyer to work it..
Shargoose=Sharon V in TN: Doug catch my cam
Shannon: I know exactly the situation you're in.... I have that sort
of trouble when I'm working on fingers and such
Shargoose=Sharon V in TN: I put my mini tree on it

chelyha55: I think I've made about 5
chelyha55: I can't figure out how people are getting such detail
jude: It's got eight legs, NJ! Yikes!
Rossija: I've only done 2, so far, but I think I could be addicted.

jill_z_q: oops almost forgot about my sock

alix: Shannon ....snowflake link, please?
chelyha55:
rickiebeth1: Hi Everyone...I was taking care of my nieces and
nephew ...so I missed most of the demo..
Shannon: oh it's very addicting!!! LOL
Shargoose=Sharon V in TN: Doug, see the cutters I used?
Rossija: Not sure either, Cheryl, I got the "put the scissors down
message" just as I was getting to the really tiny detials.

rickiebeth1: Vegas was wonderful!!!
chelyha55: oh hey that is cool Sharon!

DTIntermart: what site is that?
Shargoose=Sharon V in TN: Easy peasy to make
Lynn..Lvmypolymerclay: sounds like you had a great time Rickie Beth
Rossija: Also hard to work on the snowflakes while trying to watch
the new ones fall. They're over 360,650 now.
rickiebeth1: I learned a lot of really simple techniques that are
very helpful...and I had fun, also - with the other people...
Shannon: www.popularfront.com/snowdays/index.html I think that's
right
Shargoose=Sharon V in TN: I glued a teeny tiny confetti star on top
chelyha55: that's great Sharon
miss_meme_30: rickie beth...glad to see u made it!!!!
rickiebeth1: I love the snowflakes..showed them tonight as I
was 'child-sitting'..
miss_meme_30: we didnt have demo saturday....nj had a family
emergency to tend to
rickiebeth1: Thank you Missy..I am happy to be here also..
jill_z_q: my ear is in heaven right now

Shannon: did that link work for you? Alix?
marlea_anderson: thank goodness jill
DTIntermart: sharon those are so nice...

eyes???
Shargoose=Sharon V in TN: See how tiny it is
Lynn..Lvmypolymerclay: oh darn ; )
jill_z_q: and I'm now currently hitting my left over vicodin bottle
Shargoose=Sharon V in TN: Youcould use the tiny cutters and make a
smaller tree
jill_z_q: lol
Lynn..Lvmypolymerclay: I think a Doctor is in your future then
DTIntermart: That is a great Idea...
jill_z_q: I went to emergency last night

ask around and let you know..about th ebeads..
Shargoose=Sharon V in TN:
alix: shannon yes TY
electron_forge: wow that's tiny

DTIntermart: I have to find small cutters.. quick
jill_z_q: the problem is I think its a county hospital/teaching
Lynn..Lvmypolymerclay: thats a serious ear ache to go to emergency
Shannon: to avoid the "put the scissors down" message, you have to
backtrack over lines you've made, and make less clicks.... so some
are all one cut.... make sense?
miss_meme_30: that is awesome nj!!!!
Fearless Leader: There it is
Fearless Leader: and I didn't use up all the leaves I made
jill_z_q: I've had it since last week

Fearless Leader: the pot made with the poinsettia cane
miss_meme_30: i like it nj!
Rossija: OK, I'll try that -- thanks for the tip
jill_z_q: they give me a prescription last night
Shargoose=Sharon V in TN: Jill, I really think if it's that bad you
should go to ER again
Fearless Leader: cured, sanded and with a finish
Shannon: that's cool NJ!
marlea_anderson: ohh show us
ln133 left the room
Shargoose=Sharon V in TN: You may have ing=fection under the ear wax
ln133 joined the room
miss_meme_30: i have a ???
rickiebeth1: as for cutters...if you take the sheet of clay and
place asingle layer of something like Saran Wrap on the clay and
then use the cutters ..you will not have any clay sticking to the
cutters and the edges of the clay will be beveled...
Shargoose=Sharon V in TN: You could rupture the eardrum
DTIntermart: Kool I will have to call her in the am to overnight me
a set...
Fearless Leader: that's it turned upside down
Lynn..Lvmypolymerclay: my mom used to put olive oil in my ear when I
had ear aches due to wax or water
jill_z_q: wow that is cool NJ
Lynn..Lvmypolymerclay: it was soothing
unitychild: ooooh pretty
DTIntermart: great idea Rb
jill_z_q: I need to soften the wax first
Fearless Leader: I have a couple of other pots made recently, cured
and sanded and finished
miss_meme_30: i have a question nj
marlea_anderson: that's beautiful nj
rickiebeth1: it really helps get a good cut and with no fingerprints
or torn edges..
Lynn..Lvmypolymerclay: olive oil does that...she would put just a
drop in with a dropper
jill_z_q: If its not better by next week I'm going back again
Fearless Leader: Yes Missy?
Shargoose=Sharon V in TN: That's what the Dr.s are supposed to do,
Jill
miss_meme_30: is minwx finish ok to use?
miss_meme_30: min wax even
miss_meme_30: it is waterbased
Fearless Leader: I don't know Missy, you give it effort and you tell
me.
electron_forge: US
unitychild: wow
miss_meme_30: k will try it...lol
electron_forge: lol
Fearless Leader: I don't know off hand
Lynn..Lvmypolymerclay: pretty bowls
Shannon: is it water based Missy?
jill_z_q: I don't know last time I had a bad earache it was because
of the wax and they irrigated it, but they didn't do it here. They
try to remove it with tools
miss_meme_30: yes
rickiebeth1: do not use water base on Fimo
marlea_anderson: yes, i have minwax polycrylic but haven't tried it
yet
Shannon: ok
miss_meme_30: thats what i have mar
Fearless Leader: Now do any of you remember the pot made with a
tiger leaf?
Shargoose=Sharon V in TN: That's barbaric and dangerous, Jill
Shargoose=Sharon V in TN: I'd go elsewhere
rickiebeth1: because the Fimo has something in it and water will
sort of 'dissolve' the clay
Lynn..Lvmypolymerclay: tools???? Like a sledger hammer? lol
Shargoose=Sharon V in TN: I could do it for you but I think I'm too
far away!!
miss_meme_30: what do we use on fimo rickie?
jill_z_q: its the county hospital
Shannon: that's a lovely jar NJ!
marlea_anderson: no way- i mix types all the time- what sealer is
good for premo and fimo??
Fearless Leader: Well that's the tiger leaf pot. Here's another one
done smaller.
jill_z_q: that is really beautiful NJ
Lynn..Lvmypolymerclay: I really like that one NH
Lynn..Lvmypolymerclay: or NJ that is
rickiebeth1: I have little experience with Fimo, but do not use
anything that has water in it on Fimo..
jill_z_q: I don't like the polyacrylic mini wax
chelyha55: I can't work with Fimo
marlea_anderson: good thing I haven't coated anything yet- thanks
for the heads up rickiebeth
miss_meme_30: y jill?
rickiebeth1: you are welcome..
marlea_anderson: i like those even more NJ
ln133: I like those
miss_meme_30: i use kato
jill_z_q: its semi sticky
mehreenx joined the room
Lynn..Lvmypolymerclay: does sculpey glaze work good?
Shargoose=Sharon V in TN: Yup
