Fearless Leader: Ok, I'm going to prepare the aluminum foil armature
Shannon: hi Mom!
mommaclara2001: Oh , Kat that is pretty.
alix: brb
mommaclara2001: How will you use that now, Kat?
Kat Indpls IN: its for beads i need a deeper red color have lots of
lite colored ones
pasadena_cal: Kat how did you roll that without getting the pattern
smeared???
mommaclara2001: Ok. It is nice.
Kat Indpls IN: its more pulling the rolling is only to smooth the
outside
mommaclara2001: I really like the tiny ones. That is neat how you do
that.
Kat Indpls IN: just do it by petal then make that long and then make
your flower
rjchase222: NJ sure does make it look easy to make a figure out of
foil!
mommaclara2001: ok
Shannon: doesn't she though?
mommaclara2001: I think that NJ has strong hands. Mine never gets
that tight.
Shannon: she probably does... with all the clay work she does
esther_reeves: I'm off now. I need my bed. Luckily Dominic is to
young to be excited this year.. next year will be a different
question :)
rjchase222: I found that if I would work just one sheet of foil at a
time I could get it tight using my hands!!
Shannon: did you notice how she rolled the foil between her hands?
Shannon: nite Esther!
mommaclara2001: I can't get the arms twisted tight enough.
alix: momma try using snug rubber gloves to give you traction
Fearless Leader: got to get some food for James, it'll take 5 - 10
minutes, just heating up stuff. brb
Rossija: Night, Esther.
Shannon: ok NJ
mommaclara2001: Ok, thanks.
esther_reeves: nite all
rjchase222: Nite Esther, OK NJ
mommaclara2001: Nite Esther.
Shannon: Mom, I got mine twisted as tight as I could, then taking
another tip from NJ, I used a hammer to press it down tighter
esther_reeves left the room
Kat Indpls IN: nite Esther
mommaclara2001: Ok
mommaclara2001: Now what do you have there Kat?
Shannon: you actually could tap it a little too... but I was working
on glass... so I just pressed
mommaclara2001: That is a pretty design.
mommaclara2001: Ok, thanks, Shan.
Kat Indpls IN: just the scrap from the cane ends
mommaclara2001: Oh, I see what you are doing.
Shannon: yw
Kat Indpls IN: no clue what to do with it now though LOL
mommaclara2001: Will you use that piece, to make a bead, or what?
mommaclara2001: Cover something with it.
Kat Indpls IN: its transparent so would have to be a colored surface
first, might do a box with it
mommaclara2001: That is so pretty.
miss_meme_30: i wanna see
miss_meme_30: arent i nosey
miss_meme_30: lol
alix: Pit it in baggie until it makes up its mind.
Fearless Leader: chicken ka bobs, saffron rice, salad, pita bread
and dried dates, we're going Middle Eastern for Christmas
Kat Indpls IN: i think a small glass container would be cool
mommaclara2001: Yes it would be good for that.
mommaclara2001: NJ, your dinner sounded good too.
Kat Indpls IN: i'll have to make another sheet of it for all the
surface but that will be pretty with the candle light going through
it
pasadena_cal: Did you have some to eat as well NJ???
Kat Indpls IN: NJ air express some of that over here
Kat Indpls IN: course don't think the mail man has been even been
able to deliver here
pasadena_cal: Kat, how much snow do you have?
mommaclara2001: She has pictures.
Kat Indpls IN: 12 inches
Fearless Leader: Cal, I am busted, I took a bite of James' dinner,
had some cheese while heating his plate

as you were NOT driving in it.

female and a baby
