Thanksgiving Left Overs and Preparing for the Holidays

11-29-03: DemoLog-3, from 3:30 to 5:30  
Karen of ClayAlley has these custom made cutters in the shape of suits from a deck of cards. I want to cut some out in red and black and put Mini Printables of playing cards on them, like Royal Flushes and such. That part of the log didn't get saved, and it'll explain what comes next.

kmrhodes: Nancy didn't shut off her cam. I am watching her clean up!
LOL
kgedrich: hey Karen you need to put some spongy stuff in the box with
the powders what a mess LOL
pcajenny: denise, what are you gonna do with all those canes?
kmrhodes: what powders Kat
dahs512: sorting the good from the to be manipilated
Jackie: I made a cane with my sister and left it in Indy..
kgedrich: the sampler lemon tree i think or something like that, you
put them in a box in little tins
pcajenny: ahh
Fearless Leader: Penny eats, this is a good thing,
kgedrich: have her mail it to you Jackie
Fearless Leader: the claymates remind me to eat
kmrhodes: didn't the tape hold it together?
Fearless Leader: or I'll clay until I fall over
Jackie: I will if she finds my glasses I lost
Fearless Leader: I'm going to work on this raw Lemonade plug here
Jackie: how could I lose glasses?
pcajenny: I usually go that, but the DH made supper tonight! and it
smelled so good!
kgedrich: sorta but the powders were on everything, i just took a big
flat sheet of black and blotted everything on it
Fearless Leader: got to stick it in the oven
Jackie: lovely lemonade
kmrhodes: oh, I am so sorry
pcajenny: those are cute NJ
kgedrich: made an interesting sheet to impress with so no problem
kgedrich: and there are still some powders in the tins
kmrhodes: are you sure
Jackie: I need to go see what needs unpacking... brb in a few
kgedrich: just thought you should know before you send anymore out
kgedrich: positive
kmrhodes: Thank you
kmrhodes: now I feel horrible
kmrhodes: that shoudn't have happened
kgedrich: awww your welcome and don't be that sheet turned out pretty
cool
kmrhodes: I thought that putting the tape on the tins with the names
would keep them shut
kgedrich: now of course i won't be able to duplicate it <giggle>
kgedrich: i think what happened is some of the powders got under the
tape and thats what caused it or it came right from the top where the
clear plastic/glass mets the metal of the tin
kmrhodes: Okay, I need to check those out before I ship anymore
kgedrich: none of the tins are broken or anything just powder all over
kmrhodes: thats amazing
kmrhodes: some of those tins were hard to put the tops on
Fearless Leader: looking for my trans, brb
kgedrich: you might try some small zippy bags instead
kgedrich: they have real small ones available
kmrhodes: yeah, I just thought they looked really cool in those tins
kgedrich: the tins are nice but i think with the powders so fine they
just leak out all over the place
kmrhodes: maybe shrink wraping the tins would do it
kgedrich: yeah that would work
kgedrich: got a sugarcraft gun today and love it
kmrhodes: cool
kgedrich: got the geo and leaf set of discs for it i can see many
possiblities of canes using these
kmrhodes: the possibilites are endless
kgedrich: had to wrestle it away from my son though he broke my last
clay extruder big putz LOL
kmrhodes: I keep wanting to come up with replacement plungers
kmrhodes: those break a lot
pcajenny: I have replacements
kgedrich: its not the plunger its a big caulk gun thingie that i got
from Saks arts and he took it apart and i have no clue how to put it
back together

kgedrich: Hi Dorothy
boobearns: Hi
merrie60us: Hi Dorothy
boobearns: Just here for a few minutes
kgedrich: NJ you putting the cookies on a plate or what? When they are
done of course or jewelry?
merrie60us: What is she using on the edges of the stars?
kgedrich: tinted tls i think
boobearns: that's what I think too
merrie60us: Do you know what she used to color it with?
kgedrich: not a clue LOL
boobearns: is that clay or powder that she's showing us?
kgedrich: nj what do you use for the pigment
Fearless Leader: ok, now I can read
merrie60us: the colored tls on tile and tls
boobearns: Ahhh...bakable transfer and color medium
merrie60us: in bottle
Fearless Leader: The blue is cobalt blue straight out of the pack and
mixed with TLS
kgedrich: acrylic paint ????
merrie60us: What's in the bottle is it not tls??
Fearless Leader: no no
merrie60us: oh
Fearless Leader: Translucent Liquid Sculpey and clay color
Fearless Leader: burnt umber makes gravey
kgedrich: ah okay
Fearless Leader: with red we get candied apples
boobearns: so, a little clay, and some TLS mixed together?
kgedrich: yep
kgedrich: just mush together
boobearns: OK
merrie60us: So you take a smidgen of clay and mix with the real clay
Fearless Leader: it's the spooge of the peanut butter and jelly foldie
boobearns: spooge...is that a technical term??
pcajenny: lol
kgedrich: yep njs term
merrie60us: Can it be saved if there is left over or must it be used
right away
merrie60us: what is spooge?
kgedrich: i have little containers for mine and it stores nicely
Fearless Leader: spooge = that which seeps out
Fearless Leader: I've had pallets of TLS and clay color around for a
year and more
merrie60us:
Fearless Leader: just cover it to keep the dust off of it
merrie60us: What do you do if it thickens
merrie60us: add dilutent
Fearless Leader: add more TLS
Fearless Leader: no no
merrie60us: oh thanks
kgedrich: i got cats i put into containers LOL
boobearns: what is the TLS you have is thick?
Fearless Leader: not dilutent, that effects the saturation of your
color mixes
Fearless Leader: Do you have TLS that's thick Doro?
boobearns: the little bit I have is thick and goopy
Fearless Leader: How old is it?
boobearns: Melly gave it to me, that should give you an idea how old
it is
Fearless Leader: write to Karen, tell her to send you some fresh TLS
Fearless Leader: and charge the "Slush Fund"
kgedrich: yep should be funds i just added to it
Fearless Leader: copy this text and put it in the email if you want
Fearless Leader: last I counted it was over $60
Fearless Leader: you toss some in Kat?
pcajenny: why not just add diluent to the thick TLS?
boobearns: no, I don't want to do that. I'm not using my clay much
lately....in the new year I hope to do more though
kgedrich: i had her put in $20 for me
boobearns: but, I do have to make a fairy dress soon
Fearless Leader: To the untinted TLS, yes I might put Diluent, but I'd
just rather mix fresh TLS in it
boobearns: I'd rather have the fund used for people who are doing more
claying than me!
Fearless Leader: something at the back of my mind about strength and
chemical bonds
Fearless Leader: you might do more along this mini food line if you
had good TLS Doro
Fearless Leader: is my reckoning
boobearns: maybe...I do like those little cookies
Fearless Leader: these are fun and easy for the kids even
boobearns: nothing is easy for my kids!
kgedrich: lol
pcajenny: hmm, I always add Diluent to my TLS, and have not noticed
any problems
kgedrich: oh nj i got my bugs from the bug swap the other day are they
ever precious and so many ideas for new canes for me
boobearns: NJ, those cookies with the red and green on top, could be a
cane, right? One of these days I'm going to actually make a cane!!
Betty: brb
kgedrich: Doro don't feel bad I hate making canes
pcajenny: this is going to be a clasp for my pendants. the loop goes
into the gap
Fearless Leader: You could do them as a cane, Doro, but the TLS and
clay color gives it peaks like frosting
boobearns: I like canes...but... I have The Fear
boobearns: true...forgot about the frosting effect
pcajenny: and I will drill holes like a button to hold it on the cord
kgedrich: just make a jelly roll nice and easy
merrie60us: brb
kgedrich: and there is alot you can do with the basic jelly roll cane
jill_z_q joined the room
