I use it for clay. curika1: color shaper to blend paint with? nndewbre: Ah Hah! Ok, I know what it is now. Couldn't figure out why you were calling it a color shaper. norajean_sf: The color shaper was made for painters. I use it for clay. norajean_sf: Because you can't find this size tip with Clay Shapers norajean_sf: also it's a hard tip, clay shapers have soft tips nndewbre: Great, I already have one vlady6us: in a store here they have t hem..all in clay dept too nj... norajean_sf: I wanted a firmer, larger tool, to do the rough draft with sculpting curika1: but... with paint, was it to blend paint with, or use instead of a brush? not quite understanding norajean_sf: Have you ever seen pallet knife painting? curika1: yes curika1: ahhhh curika1: ok norajean_sf: where instead of a brush the artist uses a pallet knife curika1: yes norajean_sf: same thing, different tool curika1: i see... thanks norajean_sf: Ok, I have something I want to show you all that is in line with what we've been doing today. norajean_sf: Biz-Archive/Chop/Half-Round curika1: so do you prefer in sculpting, using that, over some of the dental type tools, too? nndewbre: I think of it as more of a color eraser. You can wipe out oil paint with it. norajean_sf: Clay shapers for sculpting is my favorite. curika1: k norajean_sf: Check that half round page please and I'll get some cane to chop to show you how it's done. curika1: OMG... that's all your scrap clay? norajean_sf: I make canes just to chop them up. curika1: wow norajean_sf: I started out with my cane ends and scrap and moved to using the best canes I can make curika1: that makes sense, especially with that technique you developed curika1: that is so pretty nndewbre: Are those all beads? Are they fired or soft? norajean_sf: Let's use the coleus and leaf cane of this week end. vlady6us: ok norajean_sf: which beads? The ones I showed earlier? nndewbre: No, on the web page, those buckets of stuff norajean_sf: the buckets are filled with raw chop norajean_sf: everything on that page is raw norajean_sf: and this technique is good for pendants norajean_sf: or round beads when you want to have a similar feel to all the beads, but different designs in the color families. nndewbre: OK, I see now, after second look. Then you put those pieces together to make what you want nndewbre: Were those little tomatoes?? leasbeadheaven: do you have a link for the coleus? I was away when you went over that yesterday norajean_sf: Make a half round loaf with chop, and then two slices make a whole round vlady6us: its magic nndewbre Yahoo!
