nora_gatine: that ribbon was cut into sections and stacked
nora_gatine: that stack was cut diagonally and flipped for the
chevron flip which makes leaf shapes.
nora_gatine: The same chevron flip was done to the tin on the right
nora_gatine: but instead of fat ribbons of jelly roll blend
ammowife68: I don't see you online so I can see the video

nora_gatine: bamboo skewer
Kathy (arizona_sweet2004): is the web cam blared to any one else? my

Kathy (arizona_sweet2004): sorry
sharonvintn: That's OK
Janice: no prob
phyllisinvegas: are these made out of chops?
sharonvintn: Wait til you see my spelling!!
Kathy (arizona_sweet2004): lol
Janice: lol
Kathy (arizona_sweet2004): sometimes i type faster than my brain can
think
x4wheelinblonde: ok so if your cane starts out flat do you jusy roll
it into the bead shape you want?
vlady6us: back in a little bit..
sharonvintn: Yes
nora_gatine: ok, the zebra started out like this and after the chop
to make beads it looks like what's on the skewers
sharonvintn: You can roll any shape you want, even if cane is square
x4wheelinblonde: chop?
x4wheelinblonde: ok thanks...
x4wheelinblonde: cool
sharonvintn: Chop is on NJ's site
Janice: chop is exactly what it sounds like You chop up the canes.
sharonvintn: It's where you use left over bits of canes, chop them up
sharonvintn: and blend together
sharonvintn: It's a neat way to use up stuff
suez1030: very nice NJ, ther close up came in clear, love the
teardrop shape.
x4wheelinblonde: ah ok, still reading all the info on the site...
Kathy (arizona_sweet2004): has any one made a bead by sitting a piece
of glass on top of clay and rolling it around?

them!

mine.

nora_gatine: and this is as easy as dirt to do
x4wheelinblonde: is this where I go to learn how to do them?
nora_gatine: honest
phyllisinvegas: ha ha ha
phyllisinvegas: easy for you to say
nora_gatine: Now we can do a quick chop and layer it
sharonvintn: I do a lot of chop as my canes are not so great so I
recyle them in chop!!
phyllisinvegas: i am still drolling here
nora_gatine: take just a couple of minutes
nora_gatine: let's see what we have on hand
x4wheelinblonde: am I the only one with no pasta machine?
phyllisinvegas: i have the tools but not the nohow
x4wheelinblonde:
Donna: you'll get one
sharonvintn: I went three years without one
rdransom1: you HAVE to get one, Shawn!!
Donna: it is just a matter of time
sharonvintn: But can't live without one now!!
phyllisinvegas: wht is she cutting on?
x4wheelinblonde: I'll have to get one off the net...
sharonvintn: a tile
phyllisinvegas: thanks
x4wheelinblonde: not sure where to get one here
Kathy (arizona_sweet2004): i made notes of NJ's demos , if any one
would like them, just let me know
sharonvintn: Any hardware or Lowe's or Home depot
rdransom1: Kathy, me --- again
sharonvintn: just a plane ceramic tile
phyllisinvegas: glazed? or unglazed?
x4wheelinblonde: what do you guys use as a work surface?
sharonvintn: Either
Janice: any home improvement store has them that you can buy
individually. I just got one at Home Depot for $1.56 for 12x12 tile
phyllisinvegas: k
Kathy (arizona_sweet2004): ok, i'm behind on 2 plus tonight
rdransom1: a tile from Home depot!
bonsaikathy: ebay is where I got mine
sharonvintn: Unglazed is what I bake on as the clay turn shiny on a
glazed one
elissaheart: I use a sheet of plexiglass.
phyllisinvegas: thanks for that tip
Kathy (arizona_sweet2004): but i'll get them done and send it to you
rdransom1: Kathy - whenever you can is great THANKS
phyllisinvegas: so she is just chopping at random?
bonsaikathy left the room
Janice: yep
phyllisinvegas: kewl
x4wheelinblonde: a tile...I think I have some in my garage
countrylady100ca left the room
Donna: I use all kinds of things -- a sheet of rubber stamp padding,
a marble turntable, lots of tiles (for things I don't want to move --
so I can bake on them)
rdransom1: the 12X12 ones -that are smooth, like marble
ammowife68: well I guess I had better learn how to make canes first
rdransom1:
sharonvintn: I use the 4 x4 inch tiles to bake on
rdransom1: me, too
x4wheelinblonde: yeah we just redid som bathrooms...
sharonvintn: I found about 30 at a garage sale
phyllisinvegas: is she mushing it together now?
sharonvintn: Paid a buck for them
Janice: yep
Donna: tossing
rdransom1: I have a bunch left over from bathroom re-do
sharonvintn: Perfect
nancy: i use a 12 inch tile to work on..have several other smaller
ones for various uses
Janice: me too
x4wheelinblonde: and you can bake on them?
rdransom1: yep -no problem
Janice: yep
nancy: yes...
x4wheelinblonde:
x4wheelinblonde: cool
sharonvintn: If your tiles are glazed you can put a sheet of paper on
top so your clay doessn't get a shiney spot on it when it bakes
jude: I bake on a metal tray with a piece of paper in it.
pmi1314 joined the room

phyllisinvegas: me
nora_gatine: we're going to cut this in half
ammowife68: ME !!
pmi1314: wow full house
rdransom1: I use a metal tray with polyfil on it sometimes
nora_gatine: and then cut those halves in half again
nora_gatine: making mirror images
nora_gatine: then
nora_gatine: we're going to put them back to back so we have a cube
with mirror images on all four sides
nora_gatine: ready?
phyllisinvegas: yup
ammowife68: y
rdransom1: yes - I love natasha beads
elissaheart: Ibake beads on a bed of cornstarch, a tip which I
learned from Margaret Maggio.
babasbunja left the room
babasbunja joined the room
Janice: hi bernie
sharonvintn: Neat Idea, the cornstartch
elissaheart: works like a charm!
nancy: yeah no kidding...
babasbunja: Hi Janice Sweetheart
sharonvintn: Ellissheart, you make the neatest beads11
suez1030: I love the way those turned out.
elissaheart: Gawrsh, thanks!
sharonvintn: Boy did I type that wrong!!
sharonvintn: Really, are you still selling them?
pmi1314: hi all
vlady6us left the room
vlady6us joined the room
elissaheart: Not right now, but I plan to start again soon on
JustBeads.
Janice: hi penny
Susan (minimoon47) joined the room
sharonvintn: Hope so
Janice: hi sandie
elissaheart: thanks
x4wheelinblonde: ok what is wet sand?
sharonvintn: I really love your hearts
vlady6us: hi jan
elissaheart: thank you!
vlady6us: sand underwater with wet dry sandpaper
Donna: keeps down the dust
rdransom1: elissa - do you make those hearts that are like natasha
beads? Those are cool!
x4wheelinblonde: oh ok..and what does that do?
Susan: hi guys - boy a real crowd here to night, huh?
sharonvintn: Good to see you here with us Ellissa
jude: Right, keeps down the dust and keeps the sandpaper from getting
all clogged up.
vlady6us: put a drop of dishwashing liquid in the water
elissaheart: Yes, that be me! I wrote the tute for it in Polyzine.
sharonvintn:
elissaheart: thank you sharon!
x4wheelinblonde: ok.....neat
vlady6us: which hearts..did i miss something
x4wheelinblonde: wow my head hurts from all this info...
sharonvintn: I made three for my family, those are a lot of work!!
rdransom1: I've tried them - they didn't come out nearly as good as
yours , but they are fun to make!
nancy: chuckle..the greatest easiest way to make hearts...
sharonvintn: I'm a figure not a jewlery person!!
rdransom1:  shawn!
rdransom1: NJ usually saves the log from the chats so you can go back
an read them over to see what you missed
elissaheart: you have to remember that I have made a few thousand of
them, so mine are bound to be a little more polished.
rdransom1: they ARE beautiful!
x4wheelinblonde: do you drill hole in the beads before or after the
baking?
x4wheelinblonde: I know too many questions
sharonvintn: Still talent must be given credit and you have a talent
for them, Elissa
rdransom1: you can do either - I usually do before
nora_gatine: Ok, now I'll show you a couple of things to do with these
ammowife68: k
elissaheart: I do the holes both ways - some before and some after.
ammowife68: very kewl
phyllisinvegas: was the first thing she used a metal skewer?
rdransom1: looks like it
ammowife68: looked like those things you put in the turky to sew it
up
rdransom1: what's she doing with the pen?
elissaheart: I think so. it's easier to poke a narrow "pilot" hole
first, and then enlarge it with a bigger skewer.
jude: Not a pen, a clay shaper.
phyllisinvegas: thanks
Janice: it's not a pen, but a clay shaper and she is probably taking
off her fingerprints.
rdransom1: oh - that makes more sense
x4wheelinblonde: hey I need to go...my mother in law is here and Im
in the room she's staying in
phyllisinvegas: bye
ammowife68: k night
sharonvintn: bye and come again
Janice: bye Shawn. Catch you next time.
rdransom1: Hey to the mom in law - bye shawn
metalartiste2001: clay shapers take finger prints off???
Kathy (arizona_sweet2004): good night
Janice: yes
x4wheelinblonde: I really enjoyed it...and i'll be at as many demos
as I can in the future..thanks all!
x4wheelinblonde: nite nite
rdransom1: bye
x4wheelinblonde left the room
ammowife68: I am so tired my eyeballs just rolled to the back of my
head
elissaheart: Wish I had a webcam. I'd love to demo heartmaking.
ammowife68: but this is just to kewl to go to sleep
rdransom1: I'D love to WATCH that demo!!
elissaheart: someday...
nancy: oh that would be so lovely elissa
sharonvintn: Oh, Ellissa I would love that
rdransom1: well, my hubby just came home from a week in Mexico and he
wants me to spend time with him - go figure - so I'd better go, too -
I
rdransom1: I'll try to be here tomorrow
minimoon47 left the room
Janice: Deanna, I came home from work early to take a nap, so I could
stay up for demo tonight.
sharonvintn: Nite
Kathy (arizona_sweet2004): good night
Janice: nite ruth
elissaheart: good night, ruth
nora_gatine: So the Natasha bead can be square, tapered or made into
a tube bead
nora_gatine: the tube bead will have four mirror images on it
suez1030: The beads are beautiful NJ.
phyllisinvegas: those are gorgeous
nora_gatine: and they are easy
ammowife68: nap darn should have done that lol
rdransom1: bye all - thanks for the bead demo - they are great!
phyllisinvegas: bye
elissaheart: luvvly!
ammowife68: but I went shopping for stamping stuff instead
rdransom1 left the room
elissaheart: ooh!!!
ammowife68: those are just beautiful
metalartiste2001: elissaheart link:
http://www.pcpolyzine.com/february2001/eheart.html
Janice: well, if you can't sleep, shopping is the next best thing.
nora_gatine: so these rectangular beads
elissaheart: thanks, artiste!
nora_gatine: are the same as the tube beads below
suez1030: I love the pattern in the beads.
nora_gatine: now I'll take short orders
metalartiste2001: love your beads!
nora_gatine: who needs to see a particular technique
metalartiste2001: i got a question
nora_gatine: East coasters are frist
nora_gatine: ok, questions
metalartiste2001: i'm experimenting with texture sheets
elissaheart: the pattern, the pearlescence, the translucence, are all
perfect!
metalartiste2001: i want to fill in the dots with another color
nora_gatine: yes
ammowife68: ohhh those hearts are wonderful
ammowife68: awesome
nora_gatine: back fill
metalartiste2001: do i bake first sheet
nora_gatine: that's what I'd do, do the impression, cure
nora_gatine: then come after curing and fill in the indentations
nora_gatine: as you wish
ammowife68: look how glassy they look
metalartiste2001: how do you backfill?
nora_gatine: I have an example
metalartiste2001: i tried rolling the clay on but it always pulled off
metalartiste2001: love the logo!@!!
nora_gatine: see the stamp?
ammowife68: did you make that heart mold?
ammowife68: yup
nora_gatine: it's my NJ brand
metalartiste2001: yes
phyllisinvegas: nice stamp
nancy: super neat NJ...
nora_gatine: I pressed that into the chest of this figure here when
the clay was raw
lvmypolymerclay joined the room
metalartiste2001: ok
lvmypolymerclay: Howdy
nora_gatine: Howdy Lynn, discussing back fill
nora_gatine: after the figure was cured
nora_gatine: there was this indentation of my NJ brand on his chest
nora_gatine: I went and filled in the indentation with pearl
nora_gatine: mashing it into the grooves and then I cured again
nora_gatine: then sanded it flat
nora_gatine: that's back fill
nora_gatine: you go back
nora_gatine: and fill in the grooves
metalartiste2001: oh - the mash technique
ammowife68: when you say cure you mean bake it?
lvmypolymerclay: gotcha
nora_gatine: it's so easy it should be illegal
phyllisinvegas: i have a question on using stamps on clay as texture
sheets
nora_gatine: there's more ways to heat set polymer clay than baking
metalartiste2001: yes - bake it
nora_gatine: I don't use bake, for we can boil
nora_gatine: use hot coals on a camp fire
ammowife68: I have tried to bake it and heat it with my gun
ammowife68: most of the time I put it in my melting pot
nora_gatine: leave the clay in the trunk of our car on a hot Houston
afternoon at the mall
ammowife68: boil?
phyllisinvegas: ha ha ha that will work here
nora_gatine: some folks have heat set polymer clay with boiling, yes
nora_gatine: I want to experiment with the solar oven with one of our
desert ClayMates
ammowife68: no kidding

nora_gatine: beside the nose
nora_gatine: we can now map under the eye and start shaping the cheek
bone
phyllisinvegas: hmm that looks a lot like my husband
nora_gatine: we can start to see how the lips are beginning to get
mass, from beneath the nose, some from the cheek, and now let's get a
lower lip
Janice: lol
nora_gatine: it's looking sort of human, but very sad
nora_gatine: right?
phyllisinvegas: yup that's him
elissaheart: I love his expression already!!!
Janice: yep
nora_gatine: now I'll just roll the cone tipped clay shaper over
these mounds to move more clay to the eyes, nose, lips
