nndewbre: sorta
leasbeadheaven: i'm back from dinner...hope i didn't
miss too much
merrie60us: missed nothing
merrie60us: we all just got back
leasbeadheaven: what is she making now?
merrie60us: not sure but she looks like she is
reducing the flower cane
merrie60us: cuts a slice
merrie60us: a few slices
merrie60us: must be making a flower
merrie60us: lots of slices
merrie60us: shaping slice with fingers
merrie60us: and then rolling around clay shaper
merrie60us: takes another slice and
merrie60us: shapes  into leaf shape
merrie60us: wraps that around bud on shaper
merrie60us: doing it again with another leaf
merrie60us: petal I should say
merrie60us: I would really like to know how to layer
petals to make a pod
wingsbe2: ummm    looking like a rose so far
merrie60us: are each of these petals becoming bigger
and bigger or all the same size?
merrie60us: yes
merrie60us: it does
merrie60us: petals starting to bend outward
merrie60us: keeps adding more petals
merrie60us: yes you are right does look like a rose
merrie60us: gorgeous
merrie60us: how get off shaper
nndewbre: So she must be making each petal thinner as
they are getting bigger off the same cane, right?
merrie60us: makes sense
merrie60us: not sure
merrie60us: I can imagine making a poinsetta like that
in those colors and putting glitter on the edges.
merrie60us: hmmm good idea
nndewbre: so pretty!!
merrie60us: =D>
merrie60us: what is she doing now
merrie60us: ?
merrie60us: another flower
merrie60us: in reds
nndewbre: a bud
merrie60us: oooh
nndewbre: Nope, not a bud
merrie60us: adding petals
merrie60us: another rose
merrie60us: in red
merrie60us: mmmm
merrie60us: she is so good at shaping the leaves
merrie60us: lots of patience
merrie60us: is that red a blend hard to tell
nndewbre: Oh so pretty!=D>
norajean_sf: Ok, the flower petals from yesterday
norajean_sf: when done like a rose
norajean_sf: gives you a totally different flower
buffy10207: very pretty
norajean_sf:
http://www.norajean.com/New_Projects/2004-FlowersLeaves/F-013.htm
norajean_sf: This is an orange-ish flower petal made
into different flowers, depending on how you shape the
petals after cutting
norajean_sf:
http://www.norajean.com/New_Projects/2004-FlowersLeaves/04-04-04-BPwInserts-Index.htm
norajean_sf: Here is a blue exerciese. Same flower
cane, sliced and then the petals formed different
after slicing
norajean_sf: trick to roses is to reduce the flower
cane like a cone
norajean_sf: so you have small slices for the inside
of the rose
merrie60us: oh interesting
norajean_sf: as you slice cane for the outer petals
cut from a wider part of the cane, cut wider cuts
wingsbe2: nifty
norajean_sf: so your petals will get larger as you to
outward
nndewbre: Ah hah! I was pondering that
wingsbe2: I noticed that on the last rose when you
sliced it
norajean_sf: Here's the first experiment with slicing
rose petals from a cone shaped cane.
BIz-Archive/Flowers-EZ-Rose
norajean_sf: The blend still needed work to do, but
the theory was usable
