Fearless Leader: so my teeth were floating Rossija: LOL, NJ rickiebeth1: so, you are leaving us? marlea_anderson: lol- vlady6us joined the room Fearless Leader: Nope, just did my biologicals is all, goes out, more gets put back in. Fearless Leader: it's rather silly when I think on it MountainMaMaDuke: wb Sandie vlady6us: ty pauline kittekattz: Hmmm ... miniscene in an old pair of dentures?? LOL Fearless Leader: Ok, let me get the link on how to do the abalone fold, something like you see in the cam kittekattz: alright ... I know that was TOO weird rickiebeth1: Kittie, nothing is too weird for me... Fearless Leader: Biz-Archive/Faux/abalone/FoldClay/Group- thms.htm kittekattz: You'll be the first to try that, right???? LOL kittekattz: ooooo ... that's pretty NJ Fearless Leader: for those who are interested in getting this very pretty and very easy effect, book mark that tute Fearless Leader: here's another tin I've had in progress for a while, she needs eyes, I got tons of things that need eyes, just not in the mood yet. marlea_anderson: so THAT'S how you do it connie_flying: that's pretty marlea_anderson: motherly...she seems kind kittekattz: oh wow ... how do you get her to "blend" right in like that? Or is that a stupid question? mommaclara2001 left the room mommaclara2001 joined the room Fearless Leader: ever match plaid when sewing? marlea_anderson: wb Momma Fearless Leader: you line up the colored lines and cut your pattern? mommaclara2001: Thanks. Rossija: not if I can avoid it! kittekattz: yeah ... but I've usually got more material to work with! Fearless Leader: you know the trick of it, lining up similar colors and then cutting, right? rjchase222: no what is it? kittekattz: I take it you start out with a larger "sheet" on the bottom before you make the folds? vlady6us: just like if u were cutting out a pattern on striped fabric Fearless Leader: To make the colors of the clay match you put the sheets you're working with and line up the colors, make sure when you're adding something to the top that the colors match, if that's what you want kittekattz: wow ... those just look SO cool Fearless Leader: in this case I wanted the colors to match, pinkish on one side and bluish on the other side MountainMaMaDuke: mmmmmm, that was so good. I spoiled myself today and made some apple crisp. Topped it off with coffee ice cream and hope that my heart does not stop in the middle of the night LOL vlady6us: yummy pauline Fearless Leader: that would have been a end of the folded sheet scrap, but I didn't want to loose it, so I put it into a face mold and found the spot to put her based on which colors were where. I lined up the colored sheet before putting it in the mold so the color division wasn't on the diagonal. MountainMaMaDuke: does not help the waistline, but sure helps the spirits! rickiebeth1: sounds like my kind of desert/meal!! MountainMaMaDuke: lol Fearless Leader: Biz-Archive/Faux/abalone/FoldClay/Group- thms.htm So that's how to fold clay sheets with a lot of pearl in it to get that abalone with those lines embedded. Fearless Leader: So we're coming to the last half hour of demo, are there any questions or requests? rjchase222: me thinks me is goin to have to try that this week! rjchase222: cld u do a quick rose for me?? Fearless Leader: sure rjchase222: Please??? rjchase222: Thanks! kittekattz: do you usually use molds for the faces or do them "from scratch"? Fearless Leader: I have two color sheet, I'll use leaf shape kemper cutters. tigger070377 joined the room Fearless Leader: I do the face sculpting from scratch, make a mold of that. I don't use commercial molds because I find the faces bland rjchase222: O good I've got the leaf shapers too! :) Fearless Leader: scraping the dust off of this sheet. LOL rickiebeth1: LOL rjchase222: now u shld have had this clay between some wax paper NJ heehee kittekattz: so how long have you been working with Polymer Clay, NJ ... you're SO good at this! Fearless Leader: I began running this list 5 years ago rickiebeth1: if you use something like Saran Wrap..you will be able to use teh cutters with no problems... Fearless Leader: I knew a little about clay and nothing about minis kittekattz: is that when you started, though? kittekattz: gotcha Fearless Leader: but it's been 5 years of every day, that's why I have two sites and the older the tute, the more rough my skills were jude (greatauntjudy) joined the room Fearless Leader: the sites are just a documentation of my clay journey, disasters and all, Huh Aunt Jude? tigger070377: Hi all from Pat Fearless Leader: You came for my Flowers? rickiebeth1: sheet of clay, then layer of Sara wrap, then cutters ..and you can cut forever and as long as the rSaran wrap has no holes in it.. marlea_anderson: hey jude kittekattz: LOL ... my "best" isn't even close to your Fearless Leader: Let's do a quick roll call since we have new folks showing up jude: You doing flowers, NJ? Neato. Fearless Leader: NoraJean, San Francisco kittekattz: rough" rickiebeth1: Hey Jude vlady6us: sandie florida Rossija: Mary, Ohio MountainMaMaDuke: Pauline NH mommaclara2001: Clara WV kittekattz: Lisa Maine rickiebeth1: Rickie Beth of Walnut Creek, California jude: <---Tehachapi, California marlea_anderson: Marlea, PA connie_flying: Connie in Reno tigger070377: Pat from Florida rjchase222: Razma Fallbrook CA rickiebeth1: the Saran wrap is good to use because there are no fingerprints or marks from the cutter on th clay,,... jude: That teardrop shape is great for flower petals. rickiebeth1: That is the shape that I was using marlea_anderson: i'll have to try the saran wrap- rickiebeth1: also, the edges are itered/smoothed with the Saran wrap technique... rjchase222: I use baggies, saran wrap & wax paper! :) Fearless Leader: as you can see there's two colors to this petal, some roses are like that. A darker color will be on the under side of the petal. So before we build this rose, we have to stretch out the wide part of the leaf shape and pull the pointed end to form our rose petal marlea_anderson: cool kittekattz: you use the cutters directly over the saran wrap? rickiebeth1: I am pretty sure they mentioned Saran wrap..but first check out the compatability of the clay and the wrap vlady6us: yes kittie rickiebeth1: yes, directlyover the Saran wrap.. kittekattz: cool ... thanks jude: Question? What purpose does the Saran Wrap serve? rickiebeth1: and you do not need to ahndle the clay very much..si it will help keep the shape from distorting.. vlady6us: to make it so they dont have jagged edges jude: Okie, thanks. vlady6us: works pretty good too rjchase222: but if u go & look at flowers out in the garden they don't have neat edges rickiebeth1: it is to keep the cutters from sticking to the clay, to miter the edges of the clay, to reduce the handling of the clay,,..so no fingerprints.. vlady6us: youre right rj rickiebeth1: the edges are still crisp.. Fearless Leader: ok, are we ready for the rose? rickiebeth1: but no ragged edges.. jude: Ready! rjchase222: YES kittekattz: yep ready! connie_flying: yup Fearless Leader: take one petal and elongate, wrap it around the tip of something for the inner bud marlea_anderson: yeppers rickiebeth1: which sometimes happens when not using the wrp.. pamelasue1961 joined the room mommaclara2001: Hi Pam vlady6us: hi pam rickiebeth1: Hi Pam...

Fearless Leader: When you practice your flowers and practice you must Fearless Leader: decorating a recycled jar is something to do with the flowers you make jude: I will press the pin back into the clay and then take it off. Cure the piece and then glue the pin down and put a strip of clay over it and cure again. marlea_anderson: still decorating mine rickiebeth1: Jude..perfect idea..
