techi_mom56 left the room

Staci: LMAO
Staci: thats a fact
sewdaisy2001 left the room
mzsayk:
Staci: Have you ever used a wire armature?
Fearless Leader: I use materials that folks can find in their home,
foil works that way
Fearless Leader: I don't want folks to buy a bunch of other stuff if
we can get around it
Fearless Leader: also
Fearless Leader: dig
Staci: oh, with wire you can't do that
Fearless Leader: we can change the post with aluminum foil
Fearless Leader: wire is hard to repose
Staci: do you just use that one tool to smooth?
Fearless Leader: like that
jude: Drat, I have to go. Thanks NJ! Great, as always! Night all!
Staci: Night Jude
Fearless Leader: larger tools for larger areas, smaller ones for finer
detail
Fearless Leader: I'm leaving out soon Jude
greatauntjudy left the room
mzsayk: Way Kool
mzsayk: nite jude
Fearless Leader: if you're going to cover the body with clay fabric
Staci: how tall is she NJ?
Fearless Leader: sheets run thin, you can dress and then pose
Fearless Leader: she'll fit in one inch scale
Fearless Leader: she's a bit tall
Fearless Leader: but that can be adjusted in the smoothing stage
Staci: too cute
Fearless Leader: it's the reposing that makes me stick with aluminum
foil
Staci: Yeah I see that now
mzsayk: makes sense
Staci: Thanks for your help NJ, I wont keep you any longer...I know
you have had a long week
Fearless Leader: ya, I'm fading for sure
mzsayk: Nite All Til Later
Fearless Leader: thanks for coming by
Fearless Leader: xoxo
