greatauntjudy: Rain? Oh, right. Storm supposed to get
here tonight or something.
norajean_sf: It's hitting SF now, been rainging
lightly but it just started to come down heavy and I
had windows open for fresh air
norajean_sf: but when it rains on an angle ... LOL
norajean_sf: blew over one of my smaller window plants
norajean_sf: So someone was asking for Holly?
norajean_sf: Oh that was Merrie, but she's left out
for a bit
norajean_sf: so I'm open for Short Orders
greatauntjudy: I just had a turn, so...
wingsbe2: sorry, my mind is blank, everything is new
to me
phyllisinvegas: could you show us how to make a quick

rossija9 has joined the conference.

You have invited rossija9 to view your webcam.

nndewbre: thanks, gag gifts all over with, Christmas
is done, thank heavens!
rossija9: Thanks NJ!
norajean_sf: Now I just roll the top end of the
pendant shell shape to make room for a cord
nndewbre: that looks like a large tongue
phyllisinvegas: lol
rossija9: The server won't let me view the webcam
again....  I'm going to head off & work on a clay
project.
phyllisinvegas: sorry
phyllisinvegas: have fun
rossija9: Thanks for the demo, NJ! 
norajean_sf: let's try my sending you an invite
rossija9: Merry Christmas/Happy Day to everyone!
You have invited rossija9 to view your webcam.

norajean_sf: did that help?
norajean_sf: good now you got cam
rossija9: YEs.  Strange that I can only get in with an
invite today.
norajean_sf: Yahoo is weird
nndewbre: Is it just some servers that you have this
trouble with?
phyllisinvegas: to say the least
rossija9: Don't know -- the error message tells me the
servers are busy.
phyllisinvegas: a lot of people were getting that
yesterday
norajean_sf: I'm just going to take some aba fold
scrap and cover a bit of pearl clay with it. If I poke
a hole through it, then we have a pendant.
rossija9: I'm usually one of the ones who has an easy
time of it.  Guess I'm about due.
nndewbre: Hmmmm, my husband facets and cabs. Wait till
he sees how I can do a cab now. heheheh
phyllisinvegas: question. If I have a square or
rectangle piece and I want to add a bead to the top
for the cord, what is the best way to attach the bead
to the pendant so it is secure?
norajean_sf: mash it
norajean_sf: LOL
phyllisinvegas: i am a good masher
rossija9: Do you have any people to finish up NJ?
That you could "clothe
norajean_sf: I rough up the edges where they meet and
give it a mash
rossija9: ...in coleus or stargazer fabric
phyllisinvegas: so it just stays when baked?

You have invited merrie60us to view your webcam.

merrie60us: hi
norajean_sf: I do have a figure that's already clothed
in Stargazer lily petals that I need to repair
norajean_sf: but I don't think that's something I can
do in demo because it would be difficult to manage the
cam
norajean_sf: it's part of the Dragon Tenders
norajean_sf: Now that Merrie is back I did promise her
Holly
rossija9: Just going to ask if it was.
merrie60us: did I miss it?
rossija9: Just in time, Merrie.
norajean_sf: I held off with the Holly Merrie since
you were away
merrie60us: thanks
norajean_sf: The repair of the Dragon Tenders, 4
bodies that got mashed when a pile of stuff fell on
them, is a big chore I've been avoiding, so I'll do
Holly, which is not connected with a big YIKES
norajean_sf: Let me get the link for the holly efforts

lot to keep from contaminating your clay, right?
merrie60us: bet she has more than one bowl
nndewbre: ahhhh, yes.....
norajean_sf: One bowl
norajean_sf: but if you chop it long enough for the
clay to ball up

I'll wipe it down with a wet wipe, but it's less often
than you'd think

machine
kissmystamp has left the conference.

two greens. I added yellow to the yellow/green to
lighten it up. I added blue to the darker green to
deepen the color but it was Kato clay and it didn't
get as dark as I expected. Kato clay mixes
differently.
merrie60us: are you mixing kato and premo?
merrie60us: Does it still smell?
norajean_sf: I only added a little, so I can't smell
it anymore
merrie60us: making easy breezy blend
