greatauntjudy left the room
liteladi: yeah im happy to have to have the ultra sound redone in 6
months to keep track of them.
liteladi: but at least its nothing to really worry about
icare4bunnies: I think you guys have more problems with ads with PCs,
I have a mac
liteladi: there ads all covered up LOL
Fearless Leader: Let's see what else I've been working on, just
flitting from project to project here
dahs512: I've been enjoying the heads NJ
techi_mom56: I can relate to your stress penny..i had a veryvery very
small uterine cancer removed almost 2 yrs ago..i am fine now ...just
dont have worry about ever getting pregnant again...LAUGH
liteladi: yes the heads have been cool
liteladi: yes the stress of worry is the worst i think
Fearless Leader: I'm sculpting a new face to make a new Xev mold
dahs512: I read that
dahs512: How is it coming
Fearless Leader: little better but I'm still working on it
dahs512: you wer cahnging the lups?
dahs512: i
Fearless Leader: lips, jaw line, chin
dahs512: ah ok
Fearless Leader: I was planning on this being a pen base
dahs512: neat
icare4bunnies: I'm off to play a few games, I'll be back in a few
icare4bunnies: have fun
Katie: bye
Fearless Leader: ciao Jael
dahs512: later jael
liteladi: bye jael
icare4bunnies: bye
icare4bunnies left the room
dahs512: just going to poke the pen in it NJ
dahs512: ?
Fearless Leader: yup
dahs512: All of my old canes that I didn't like are going to become
Kailaidascope canes
dahs512: never did have the heart to turn all tha work into scrap
techi_mom56: hubby loves that rose cane
liteladi: do you bake the clay right onto the ornaments??
liteladi: thats very pretty the rose ornament isnt it??
techi_mom56: yes i will be...was finnishing the smoothing and stuff..
liteladi: i think that pb & jelly sandwich is such a cute think
liteladi: think
liteladi: thing
techi_mom56: yes ..its fun..it was my second try at it...and anytime
hubby expresses interest in one of my canes and actually makes
suggestions i go for it..
liteladi: lucky mine doesnt show much interest in any of the crafts i
do or in my jewelry making
techi_mom56: the glass ball is not the thin ornament kind but actual
glass. easier to deal with by far..
liteladi: i have a few of those glass balls from michaels. can you use
them??
techi_mom56: most guys dont..chuckle..except my uncle..he could make
the most beautiful ming trees..
liteladi: cool
dahs512: a foldie
Fearless Leader: Ta Dah
Fearless Leader: now I need to make a gazillion of them
Fearless Leader: LOL
Katie: What au making them for? Gifts or to sell? sorry if I missed
that part.
Fearless Leader: I made these on consignment a while back and was sad
to send them out
Fearless Leader: I wanted some for myself, so this is a gift to myself
Katie: oh
Katie: LOL
Katie: nice
Katie: how long do you bake them and how high?
Fearless Leader: Fun, I love mini food as jewelry because it just
sensitizes folks to the whole concept of mini and equating them with
fun and personal adornment
Fearless Leader: I cure everything for a half an hour at 260-ish
Katie: thanks
Fearless Leader: and if there's many layers like with the African
couple, I'll cure them over and over but always for a half an hour at
the temperature recommended by the clay manufacturer
Fearless Leader: when folks say, oh for minis don't cure so long
Fearless Leader: or don't cure so high
Fearless Leader: I say, ok, and have minis that will break and crumble
on you then
Fearless Leader: it's for one fourth inch thickness that half hour at
the right temp
Fearless Leader: that's mini size really
Katie: ok
Fearless Leader: also my body is now timed to feel a half an hour
Fearless Leader: like a basket ball player knows 35 seconds to throw
without a clock counting down
Fearless Leader: I am always going to check clay things a couple of
minutes before the timer goes off
Fearless Leader: when I forget to turn off the timer I end up scaring
myself while fiddling with hot clay things
Fearless Leader: BRRRRIIIINNNGGGGG
Fearless Leader: Yikes
Fearless Leader: I feel like the Lucy Ricardo of clay
dahs512: lol
Katie: Ha
Fearless Leader: this loaf would make the perfect bread baking scene
Fearless Leader: one long loaf coming out of the stove
techi_mom56: laugh...
Fearless Leader: LOL
Fearless Leader: Now we've been looking at Turkey Sandwiches
Fearless Leader: and making sandwiches with minis is much like doing
it in real life
dahs512: I keep my oven at 270 and have fogotton things, premo of
course, and they don't burn
Fearless Leader: but hot turkey sandwiches with gravey only takes that
burnt umber and TLS over a sandwich with just turkey meat in it
