Fearless Leader: Folks, I'm going to move through these canes and flowers and explain the process of making them Fearless Leader: ok? Katie: ok!! JennyP: k Elise: k Fearless Leader: and if we could keep our comments to the cane and flower construction we can make good time before my apartment gets too hot Fearless Leader: ok? JennyP: k Fearless Leader: This rose is a cane made with a two color blend Fearless Leader: yellow and pink and the blend turns orange Fearless Leader: I took the plug of blended colors and made the yellow part into a "T" shape Fearless Leader: pinching in the pink Fearless Leader: then I wrapped the yellow that was sticking out to the sides Fearless Leader: and pulled them down Fearless Leader: over the blend and the pink Fearless Leader: to just get the top curve of the petal to have the yellow Fearless Leader: any questions at this point? Fearless Leader: ok, does anyone need me to show how to stretch out this leaf shape into a rose petal and build a rose? Fearless Leader: or has everyone seen that and we can go to the next flower and cane Fearless Leader: shall we build a rose from this cane or shall we move on to the other flower and cane pair? JennyP: i"m good Elise: me too Katie: me too Fearless Leader: sandwich red with yellow Fearless Leader: then layer with pearl that's longer so the pearl goes over the yellow and red sandwich Fearless Leader: wedge Fearless Leader: slice and form into any flower petal shape you want Fearless Leader: now for taking that yellow and doing a blend with it Fearless Leader: ok it's a blend with a yellow mixed with pearl and a dark pink Fearless Leader: after the blend was done and it reduced to a plug Fearless Leader: I sliced it three times and inserted a darker red Fearless Leader: pulled the bottom to a wedge Fearless Leader: slice petals and pulled them into shape Fearless Leader: ok, taking pink and yellow again Fearless Leader: the inserts in this blend Fearless Leader: is a lace cane Fearless Leader: made with a pink and red bullseye and a red surround Fearless Leader: it was reduce to dots Fearless Leader: formed as a flat football Fearless Leader: sliced and inserted in the plug of blend Fearless Leader: I think I could have used white instead of pink in the lace cane and gotten more contrast Fearless Leader: when you pull the petals, the different consistencies of the clay makes texture on your flower petals crysalis7 joined the room Fearless Leader: that lace cane there Fearless Leader: is the inserts in this blend Fearless Leader: see how if I used white there'd be more contrast when it is reduced to mini Fearless Leader: this is an inverted blend crysalis7: did you already go over assembly of the petals into a flower? Fearless Leader: I'm doing four petal simple flower like this for samples with the canes here Fearless Leader: I didn't go over the construction of the flower yet, just going over the cane design crysalis7: k twinmom94002 joined the room Fearless Leader: I've gone through the yellow ones and am moving through orange right now twinmom94002: hi gang!
