Then make that blend into a jelly roll. Flatten the jelly roll and add a "vein" sheet over it. Cut it into sections and stack. Then comes the chevron flip. norajean_sf: We'll just flip out. I tell ya... norajean_sf: LOL norajean_sf: so let me clear the deck here and I'll show it done. Yahoo!

It is really great. greatauntjudy: It is one of the first things I tried that worked. :D merrie60us: I have to go I am getting a bad headache. not sure why will try and come back merrie60us: very nice leaf bluebell5071: very pretty norajean_sf: ok honey, feel better leasbeadheaven: that's great, nj merrie60us: thanks leasbeadheaven: you make it look so easy norajean_sf: trick is norajean_sf: it is easy norajean_sf: LOL leasbeadheaven: easy for u to say! norajean_sf: ok, let's say you're going to mix some green from yellow and blue norajean_sf: practice with yellow and blue stripes norajean_sf: you're going to mix the two colors together so there's no harm in practicing things like the chevron flip norajean_sf: layer sheets of any two colors you're planning on mixing anyway, yellow and red, yellow and blue, blue and red norajean_sf: layer the sheets and form a block norajean_sf: cut diagonally across all the sheets and flip one side around norajean_sf: you'll see how easy it is norajean_sf: then you take that same trick and cut jelly roll blends with separation sheets leasbeadheaven: do u have a link to a tutorial for this in case I forget how to do it? norajean_sf: it's a variation on the same technique norajean_sf: Sure hold on norajean_sf: http://www.norajean.com/New_Projects/Leaf1Side/Thms.htm norajean_sf: http://albums.photo.epson.com/j/AlbumIndex?u=1751108&a=30829747 norajean_sf: http://www.norajean.com/DemoStuff/06-13-04-GreenBlend-Log.htm norajean_sf: http://albums.photo.epson.com/j/AlbumIndex?u=4217890&a=31284436&f= norajean_sf: That last link, it has a good example of doing the chevron flip leasbeadheaven: thanks so much. will check these out norajean_sf: Also on the list in the photo area we have the album on the Dreaded Chevron Flip norajean_sf: http://ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/CITY-o-Clay/photos/browse/592a?b=1&m=t norajean_sf: Razma had difficulty with it so we reviewed it each time she came to demo. norajean_sf: She named it the DCF norajean_sf: LOL norajean_sf: but in the album on the list I used non leaf colors to make it easier to see norajean_sf: that is the chevron flip with just layers of two clay colors norajean_sf: if we added a center vein and an outside surround sheet it'll look better, but that's the basics norajean_sf: any set of horizontal lines cut on a diagonal, flip one side will give you a chevron norajean_sf: even animal print rossija9: Goodnight everyone! Thanks, NJ. Gotta go... See you tomorrow. rossija9: Bye.... leasbeadheaven: I just took a look at the last epson album with the blue & green & I think I get it. will have to give it a try one of these days. rossija9 has left the conference. marlea_anderson has joined the conference.

I sent invites out to those watching on cam who are not in here. norajean_sf: I just had a flash on another way to work the leaf cane. Aunt Jude came up with the term "tearing paper" for how to ruffle the edges of leaves. pratchettsmom has joined the conference. greatauntjudy: :D norajean_sf: Howdy PratchettsMom, what's your first name and where are you in the world? pratchettsmom: Cathy and I'm in Orlando...How are you? norajean_sf: real good Cathy, what I did just now is to ruffle the edge of a leaf with the "tearing paper" move, named by Aunt Jude here pratchettsmom: I missed the part where you went from having the colors of the cane to where you started making a leaf...I don't know what happened... marlea_anderson: oh no, i just get here and hubby wants me to go watch gangs of new york- i'll try to make it tomorrow norajean_sf: Ok, Marlea marlea_anderson: goodnight and have a pleasant tomorrow..... marlea_anderson has left the conference. norajean_sf: Cathy I'm not sure what part you missed. norajean_sf: http://albums.photo.epson.com/j/AlbumIndex?u=4217890&a=31284436&f= pratchettsmom: well, you had the cane with the colored layers and then the next thing I saw you were making a leaf pratchettsmom: I'll check out the link after...thanks norajean_sf: This album has pictures of the sort of leaf I made earlier norajean_sf: I'll cut off a slice of leaf cane and show you how I manipulate it, I use the curve between my thumb and forefinger and give it a bit of a pinch along the center vein norajean_sf: bending it over my fingers norajean_sf: I'll use a large slice to show you pratchettsmom: I think I missed how you made it into a leaf cane, but I think I can figure it out... norajean_sf: Let me show you something else, it's the basics on how to make a chevron that goes into the leaf cane norajean_sf: here's two colors, just stacked sheets pratchettsmom: that's what I missed... norajean_sf: if you cut along the diagonal and flip one side around, you get the chevron. norajean_sf: if you cut diagonally across fat ribbons, made with a blend that was rolled up in a jelly roll. norajean_sf: you get a different effect norajean_sf: This is the flattened jelly roll blends. norajean_sf: this is the leaf cane that was made with cutting that on a diagonal pratchettsmom: O pratchettsmom: sorry...I'm confused...cut diagonally across jelly roll and stack them? then you make them into leaf canes? norajean_sf: I do a blend first. Then roll the blend into a jelly roll. Then I flatten the jelly roll into a long fat ribbon norajean_sf: I then put a layer of clay on top of that fat ribbon to be separation between the segments on the leaf. norajean_sf: Cut the long fat ribbon into sections and stack, norajean_sf: like this one at the end norajean_sf: Then it is cut on the diagonal pratchettsmom: okay...thanks norajean_sf: I'll do it for you if you want. I can never have enough leaf cane norajean_sf: got a few minutes, it won't take a long time to show you. norajean_sf: pictures work a bucket of natter pratchettsmom: well, if you don't mind...sure norajean_sf: LOL norajean_sf: I don't mind. pratchettsmom: what's a bucket of natter? we don't have that expression in the south...<g> pratchettsmom: and how, when you make the chevron, do you get the same color on the outside on both sides of the diagonal? norajean_sf: I just made it up Cathy norajean_sf: bucket of natter norajean_sf: That's a good question, you don't get exactly the same thing on both sides after the flip pratchettsmom: ah...you live in that part of the country, huh? we don't just make things up down here...or wait, maybe we do...<lol> pratchettsmom: but you go ahead and shape it into a leaf cane, correct? norajean_sf: So I surround the leaf cane after the flip pratchettsmom: ah...that's what I was wondering... pratchettsmom: are you specifically demoing leaf canes tonight or you're just waiting for other people? norajean_sf: I never have anything planned norajean_sf: so if you need to see the chevron flip leaf cane, that's what we'll do norajean_sf: Merrie wanted to see Holly earlier so we did holly pratchettsmom: no, I think I caught most of that already norajean_sf: it's like a Diner, Short Order pratchettsmom: want fries with that? merrie60us: I am back norajean_sf: exactly merrie60us: feeling a little better norajean_sf: Yo, was just talking about you merrie60us: had atooth pulled Thursday norajean_sf: how you wanted holly so you got holly norajean_sf: OUCH merrie60us: been getting headaches norajean_sf: kisses to your owie pratchettsmom: glad to hear it Merrie merrie60us: thanks merrie60us: what are you making now pratchettsmom: glad to hear you're feeling better, not that you've been having headaches... merrie60us: understood pratchettsmom: do most people have voice here or use chat? norajean_sf: Another leaf cane. Cathy here is new to Demo and would like to see a leaf cane so I'm doing one pratchettsmom: thanks merrie60us: chat merrie60us: oh good norajean_sf: No voice used, some of our list members are deaf or heard of hearing pratchettsmom: seemed like I was the only one talking... norajean_sf: plus the background noise of everyone's home would make it impossible norajean_sf: I think folks are full of food, been here for a long time and are chilling is all. pratchettsmom: I have hearing loss, but unfortunately, it hasn't prevented me from talking or typing...<lol> pratchettsmom: much to my husband's chagrin, I might add...hehe norajean_sf: Well it is for folks like you with hearing loss that I never use the voice function during demos. norajean_sf: Well I'm going to do a blend first. pratchettsmom: well, thank you..I hear okay, but not as much as I'd like...have hearing aids norajean_sf: Biz-Archive/Blend-Grp norajean_sf: I like to make leaf cane with blends to try to get the highlight and shadow that leaves have. pratchettsmom: since you're being so accomodating, could you use some color other than green? <lol> Just kidding!! norajean_sf: So while I'm doing that I can't type and miss a lot in chat. If you have questions you can ask when I'm back at the keyboard. norajean_sf: Oh hey, I'm an easy date, honey. LOL pratchettsmom: damn, and I'm here in Florida and there's an easy date elsewhere.... norajean_sf: bringing someone in dragonladyw2001 has joined the conference. You have invited dragonladyw2001 to view your webcam. norajean_sf: Ok, now I'll do the blend norajean_sf: top of the hour, I got to save log, take a minute | ||
