| Ronnie: |
since i got your kit i just stare at it, don't know where to begin heheheh maybe
that's a start. |
| Caneguru: |
I didn't know where to start when I got mine either. Just stared at it for a week or
two, then Marie got me started on ink mokume |
| Ronnie: |
yup - that's me! |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
I hate to open the new kits, it's too pretty. I also have a box of new crayons in my
linen cabinet |
| Caneguru: |
Syndee, any chance of upgrading the actual box? I'd pay for a better travel case |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
depending on when you got the kit, they have upgraded at least the handles. |
| Caneguru: |
My handle broke the first time I opened the box. it was early on, I guess, one of the
first kits that Marie and Howard got in |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
I love my kit - I use it for the background on my how to photos |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
Linda - call Jacquard and request a new case! They'll send it right out. |
| Caneguru: |
really? I'll do that |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
Call and ask for Corrine, but do it before Thursday cause we'll all be leaving for
HIA. email me at syndeeh@cox.net and I"ll give
you 800 number |
| Caneguru: |
got it. Thanks! |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
If you don't mix the inks in completely you get lovely marbeling. after baking, wash
it with a mix of the brown and yellow pinata and rubbing alcohol and it picks up every
little detail Well, the straight rubbing alcohol didn't dry shiny, so it's the small
amount of pinata. I love those inks, I find more ways to use them. did you all see the
bamboo article in Expression? they are beautiful to rub on unbaked clay to age it |
| Caneguru: |
they're marvellous inks. Did you see the tutorial somebody did about UTEE and inks to
make amber? |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
I've been requested to ask you all for your input on the next 8 colors of PX |
| Caneguru: |
GITD LOL |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
Oh yeah, I say that tutorial!! it looked amazing. |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
OH OH, Polyform loved our fuzzy clay idea. |
| Caneguru: |
They mention "permanent ink" |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
GITD PX - that's a thought |
| Caneguru: |
would Pinata be "permanent ink"? |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
Oh, well pinata would be perfect, since it's transparent also |
| Caneguru: |
She used a Suze Weinberg ink.. but what I have is lots of pinatas |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
yellow, with a couple of drops of brown and a drop orange. Polyform has some cool new
stuff coming out at HIA, I'll post next week and let you know |
| Caneguru: |
New stuff? New STUFF!!!! YAY! |
| Ronnie: |
? we have to wait a whole week ???? |
| StarGazer: |
Wahoo!! |
| Ronnie: |
she's weakening -- maybe giving us a hint! |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
No I can't, well I thought it was cool |
| Caneguru: |
bribes Syn with brandied cherries |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
ACtually, I may not even know all the stuff |
| Ronnie: |
we can risk that |
| Ronnie: |
:-) |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
syn not a sweet eater, popcorn, potato chips |
| Caneguru: |
bribes Syn with Cascade Potato Chips |
| Caneguru: |
passes around the brandied cherries |
| Caneguru: |
;-b |
| Ronnie: |
:-) |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
good thing I'm on that low carb diet!! |
| Ronnie: |
is it working Syn? |
| Caneguru: |
yer a tough nut to crack |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
no, but I feel better. |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
my brother is type 2 diabetes, so I follow his diet as a preventative measure |
| Caneguru: |
How many times have you done HIA? |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
6, 7 8 times |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
no, it'll be 9 years |
| Caneguru: |
Is it always at the same place? Or does it travel? |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
It travels every 4 years Las Vegas, Dallas, Anaheim. Next year is Dallas again. That's
how I can count how many I've done |
| Caneguru: |
stamps foot cuz it should come to Seattle |
| Ronnie: |
*sigh* never to Connecticut! |
| Caneguru: |
and YOU should come to seattle |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
They need a HUGE convention center. I'm coming to Seattle for the RD vendor show.
Ronnie - don't give up on Conn., one of my 2 cousins lives there and my good friend Raine |
| Ronnie: |
Woo-Hoo!! |
| Caneguru: |
You should come up to SEattle more often than that ... how about Claycamp in May? |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
Claycamp in May? hmmmmm May whAT? |
| Caneguru: |
uh... hold on |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
I'll get a sponsor |
| Ronnie: |
I live almost next to the airport |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
I'm taking boys to Italy in Aprl |
| Caneguru: |
I think it's before Mom's day |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
whoa - using vacation time for vacation - never done THAT |
| Caneguru: |
Did you get my email, btw, with the lady from Italy? |
| StarGazer: |
hee-hee me neither.... |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
yes, I sent email to her,but haven't heard |
| Caneguru: |
'k |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
any guild retreats, just let me know, I can try to line up sponsors so I can go |
| Caneguru: |
Sponsors? |
| StarGazer: |
neato! |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
Yeah, my companies to pay my way |
| teddyDodge: |
Sponsers? |
| Caneguru: |
Ah sweet! |
| teddyDodge: |
how can we help? |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
If they don't, I just do it anyway. Just let me know ahead of time of events and I'll
start asking companies - also for raffle stuff |
| Caneguru: |
dang.. I should pay you to mentor me. =) |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
Okay, back to extruding.. how many have tried |
| StarGazer: |
my guild has asked me to do a MG demo with Pinata inks for our next clay day.... any
neato ideas??? |
| Caneguru: |
tried extruding, Syn? |
| teddyDodge: |
I tried it |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
YOu mean in terms of ultimate design ideas? |
| teddyDodge: |
made a big mess. lol |
| Caneguru: |
I wondered if yours was a full sentence or sentence fragment.. .nemmermind |
| StarGazer: |
oh just tips or neat things to do to create the MG stack... :) |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
Okay, I'm tying these 2 threads together - I've thought about doing MG with PInatas
and extruding gold coils to run between the layers |
| Caneguru: |
coolness |
| StarGazer: |
gold coils? can't make the picture in my head? |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
Star - demo putting PX on the clay sheet first, then putting PInata over it to seal it |
| StarGazer: |
ok! (yippee) |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
it doesn't even have to be solid layer of PX |
| Caneguru: |
it makes it so jewellike to do that |
| StarGazer: |
cool! |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
Yes, I guess the coils would be smashed and wouldn't keep their shape, but it'll come
to me somehow the method |
| StarGazer: |
lol okay! |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
USE GLOVES - that pinata doesn't come off |
| StarGazer: |
how about loops instead of coils? |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
I have lovely amber nails.. |
| StarGazer: |
LOL |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
how bout pressing something round through the stack and putting a length of gold clay
into the hole left? gold polka dots in the MG |
| StarGazer: |
cool! |
| Caneguru: |
will Pinata stick to metal leaf? |
| StarGazer: |
i've used pinata's with transfers.... REALLY bright colors! :D |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
yes, it will, put the leaf on the clay, then drop pinata inks onto the leaf |
| Caneguru: |
oooooh |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
let it dry really well, then stretch the clay with your hands - the leaf will break up
and take the inks with it |
| Caneguru: |
cool. I have a half a notebook of ideas, that being one of them, that I haven't been
well enough to try |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
upcoming Expression has another way to use Pinatas |
| StarGazer: |
cool! |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
Ultramarine blue clay with gold leaf and then red, green, orange dropped on it is just
fabulous |
| Ronnie: |
i really need to open that kit! |
| Caneguru: |
Yes you do, Ronnie |
| StarGazer: |
yes you do! :) |
| teddyDodge: |
Open it Ronnie |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
of course all the kits have my "white" paint - green lumiere |
| Caneguru: |
Syndee.. might there be a more metallic looking gold Pinata coming down the pike? |
| StarGazer: |
is confused.... :) |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
Linda - you can have the most metallic looking gold pinata you can dream of by adding
PX to the PInata |
| Caneguru: |
;-) Ok |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
you can make sludge ink if you are so inclined.. |
| Caneguru: |
Can't wait to get back to the workshop. Maybe this weekend. |
| StarGazer: |
lol |
| Caneguru: |
sludge ink? |
| teddyDodge: |
is it like muck? |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
sludge ink is the stuff they use for a lot of the surface techniques and for mokume
gane |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
Did you all know that there is a little message
board for clay and Jacquard products on my little website off
jacquardproducts.com? now that I've got my network up and screaming DSL, I'm gonna have
the laptop in the garage and be posting as I work! |
| Caneguru: |
I think I saw that.. |
| StarGazer: |
no... i didn't.... |
| Ronnie: |
no |
| StarGazer: |
Wahoo!!! |
| Caneguru: |
Yeeee ha |
| Ronnie: |
:-) |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
OH MY GOD! We could do a project that way!! |
| Caneguru: |
do you have a webcam? |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
now class, make a sheet of Ultramarine.. |
| Ronnie: |
hehehehe i'd like that!!!! |
| teddyDodge: |
yes teacher |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
Linda - I'm talking to their webmaster this week.. |
| Caneguru: |
who's webmaster? |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
Jacquard |
| Caneguru: |
ah! |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
live stream the sucker |
| StarGazer: |
Wahoo!! |
| Caneguru: |
yessssss |
| Ronnie: |
that would be great! |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
at least I can write the text for it and you won't see me in my jammies in my messy
garage |
| Caneguru: |
ah.. part of being human |
| teddyDodge: |
picture that |
| Caneguru: |
like the outtakes on Marie's tapes |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
but if it's all text, it'll be there for the folks who weren't there "live" |
| StarGazer: |
some webcam demos i've seen have a participant "scribe" the webcam event... |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
that's how HGTV does it and they get it wrong |
| StarGazer: |
it would be like typing in your text as you get to that part of the demo for the rest
of the participants... |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
everytime.. |
| StarGazer: |
frees up your hands... |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
YES!! I write Marie's and my articles that way, i can type as fast as I think. then I
can take digitals as I go and have webmaster post them on a page.. |
| StarGazer: |
really?? you think fast! (oh oh oh... and if... ) hee-hee |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
yes I type thought stream.. |
| StarGazer: |
cool! |
| Caneguru: |
Syn, speaking of digitals... |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
digitals |
| Caneguru: |
I'm still very interested in hearing about your ideas for teaching photography to
clayers... and crafters.. and jewelry makers...etc. |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
Ah, didn't I send that to you? |
| Caneguru: |
Nope I just bought some background paper for photography.. gawd it was pricey |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
I thought I did from my MSN? send me email at syndeeh@cox.net
and I"ll send it tonight |
| Caneguru: |
'k |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
why use background paper, use natural areas around your house |
| Caneguru: |
I generally do, but DH wanted some for photoing colored stone stuff. This stuff is
nice.. kinda skinnerblended paper |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
I use sheets of poster board, curved against the wall when I'm forced to. don't forget
textiles make interesting backgrounds. Linda - you live in scarf land - they work great
for backgrounds |
| Caneguru: |
indeedy. Maybe I oughtta do photoshoots in the fabric shop :) |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
don't you usually make your jewelry to match your clothing? |
| Caneguru: |
Nah. I buy the clothes to match the jewelry |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
NO - the other way around - make the jewelry to match the clothes!! what really sucks
is when I buy a new outfit and come home to find a jewelry piece that already matches it |
| Caneguru: |
too funny, Syn |
| Caneguru: |
make another piece that goes with it |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
We had someone bring in REAL candy on April fools and use it for Show and Tell as clay |
| teddyDodge: |
lol |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
we were REALLY impressed, until we noticed she was so red from the joke - try it |
| Caneguru: |
The Graduate Gemology course has a colored stones identification test. They put in a
piece of Jolly Rancher Candy |
| teddyDodge: |
kewl |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
UMMM, love that apple green color |
| Caneguru: |
The one that I've seen was red. lol. Looks like synthetic ruby boule |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
They'll have to include UTEE this time.. |
| Caneguru: |
Have you done much with UTEE? I have tons of it |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
I love colored gems - you can have diamonds - boring..I'm waiting for my meltpot |
| Caneguru: |
Agreed, Syn. well colored diamonds aren't too shabby |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
no, I understand that they are now coloring rejecting diamonds with lasers for colored
gems |
| Caneguru: |
Oh yeah, that's old technology. especially green diamonds. DH sells diamonds. :) |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
substandard diamonds I meant to say, but the word escaped.. |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
Understand from the Powers that BE that pearls are back.. |
| Caneguru: |
Syn, re: pearls.... ever see the old Swarovski "creamrose" faux pearls? |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
NO! I want to try to make green pearls |
| Beanie: |
do you mean pearl colors or pearls |
| Caneguru: |
I have a ton of creamrose.. they're gorgeous. I don't think they make them anymore |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
faux green pearls - that makes more sense. Oh, I think I know what you mean - they are
beautiful color |
| Caneguru: |
I buy them from Purple Finch in NH. I like em better than most genuine pearls |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
I think faux green pearls and blue pearls to set off RAku beads.. |
| Caneguru: |
blue pearls. Hmmmm |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
there is a bluish-black pearl |
| Beanie: |
oo bet that's pretty |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
my brother's sis in law has a pearl website for the jewelry she imports and she has
lots of computer problems. I see more than I want to of pearls |
| Caneguru: |
Does PearlBabe come to shows near you? They do the Intergem shows |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
don't know, I've gone to one gem/bead show in about 3 years - everything was pearls |
| Beanie: |
syndee.. can I ask you a question? |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
shoot Beanie |
| Beanie: |
will you be going to HIA? |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
yes. I leave Friday |
| Beanie: |
rep'ing Expressions? |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
no Polyform, and visiting Expression and Jacquard |
| Beanie: |
oh... that's great |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
why? |
| Beanie: |
then another qusetion.. if you know. is there anything "new" out there in
terms of polymer clay other than Kato Clay? |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
as far as I know, there haven't been any major advances in the material in about 2
years unless you count eraser clay, which is cool too, but not for our "mature"
market |
| Beanie: |
that's what I thought... figuredif there was anything you'd know. well.. we kinda make
eraser "mature" |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
Oh I love eraser clay - I mix it into my premo for really cool colors |
| StarGazer: |
any favorite color recipes?? |
| Caneguru: |
I need to get some flexclay |
| Beanie: |
me too.. i would love to see a translucent eraser clay |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
the problem with translucency is that you don't want to step closer to vinyl to get
your transparency |
| Caneguru: |
so translucency = higher vinyl content? |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
I think that's the way I heard it Linda, and I make eraser for my kid who still gets
notes from his teach "send more erasers" |
| Caneguru: |
translucent eraser clay.. hmmm... and then mix in sparklies |
| Beanie: |
actually I just mix the eraser clay straight with translucent to get really neat
pastels |
| StarGazer: |
ooooh i like sparklies! |
| teddyDodge: |
they might tear the paper |
| Caneguru: |
who erases with it? LOL |
| teddyDodge: |
lol |
| Ronnie: |
lol |
| Beanie: |
lol |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
I like to cane the stuff |
| Beanie: |
i love to make rainbow skinner blends with them |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
both Flex and Eraser, mixed with Premo make a really comfy bead for the back of the
neck |
| StarGazer: |
eraser necklaces.... for the person who makes mistakes... :) |
| Beanie: |
i made an eraser "head" to wear on a necklace to have for boo boo |
| Caneguru: |
lol, Beanie |
| Ronnie: |
awwww |
| StarGazer: |
hee-hee |
| Caneguru: |
Syn, will eraser clay work like flex for extruded cords? mixed w/Premo? |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
eraser switch plates are great for people who hit the plate |
| teddyDodge: |
might help with ring around the collar |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
eraser is probably a little grainy for extrusion, but it doesnt hurt to try |
| Caneguru: |
'k. Cuz I have no flexclay and nowhere around here sells it...gotta place an order |
| Ronnie: |
don't feel bad, we don't have it here either |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
Geez, Linda get yerself some or write me |
| Beanie: |
OH.. and Polyform has been nominated for Award of Excellence in a couple of catagories
for eraser |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
Yes, they have |
| Beanie: |
they deserve to win each one!!! |
| Caneguru: |
Who does the awards? |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
With Expression taking a Silver Ozzie for best new design, we're doing good |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
The coolest thing about caning with eraser clay is that you bake the cane and then
slice it! Perfect for you guys that do demos |
| Caneguru: |
that's handy |
| StarGazer: |
yeah! :) |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
Oh me that can't keep a round cane round.. |
| Caneguru: |
Is Marie doing HIA, too? |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
my oldest son just came into the room said he made the top 8 percent of something last
year in algebra and got "some" award of excellence..of course the paperwork is
in a friends backpack.. |
| Caneguru: |
Yay! |
| StarGazer: |
neato!! |
| Ronnie: |
Woo-Hoo! |
| StarGazer: |
better make room on the fridge! :) |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
I'll be picking Marie up on my way and we are roomies as usual for 5 days - count em
no laundry, no cooking.. |
| StarGazer: |
wahoo!! |
| Caneguru: |
Give her a huge huggle from me, ok? |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
I will give hugs to everyone |
| Caneguru: |
She leaving Howard behind to keep the homefires burning? |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
Yes, except he'll be up on Sat. Actually, Marie and I are teaching a class together
for a project using extruded cords of clay. 2 ring circuses are always fun.. |
| Caneguru: |
Cool. I wish I lived down your way |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
add the polyform people and it becomes a 3 ring circus |
| Caneguru: |
lol |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
although a little quieter without Chuckie |
| Caneguru: |
sigh... |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
our Ringleader |
| Ronnie: |
and i take it your circus still doesn't include CT? |
| Caneguru: |
I never got to meet him |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
who is CT? |
| Ronnie: |
hehehe, Connecticut... |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
Hey we are Roadies - watch out CT! |
| Ronnie: |
guess the circus isn't coming to town |
| Caneguru: |
Get Jacquard to get you the pinata/PX version of the wienermobile |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
You guys have a retreat that way don't you? I didn't find out until too late last year |
| Ronnie: |
there is one in ct, but I couldn't make it |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
You know, I was seriously working on Chuckie for the Sculpey RV |
| Caneguru: |
I think it's a grand idea |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
I really need to do that for the Western US for all the store that want demos |
| Caneguru: |
woohoo |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
Now that both boys are in traditional summer vacations, it's possible |
| Caneguru: |
see if your different sponsors would chip in for such a thing - the rolling brayer
tour |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
The problem is that "real job" - I'd have to take leave of absence for any
extended time, even though I accumulate 12 hr a month |
| Caneguru: |
still not a full time gig then... |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
NO! I like those health benefits and regualr paycheck |
| Caneguru: |
I hear taht |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
besides, it's kinda fun |
| Caneguru: |
what is your dayjob? |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
I'm the business and financial officer, office manager, graphic artist, webmaster and
assistant to the director of the PR department for the Schools of medicine and PHarmacy
and the medical centers for UCSD |
| Caneguru: |
wooooooo |
| Ronnie: |
wow |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
I get to play on the web a lot and handle crises |
| Caneguru: |
is that where Varda works? |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
yes, we have several UCSD people cause Z Kripke, who used to run student health
started the guild with me as sargent |
| Caneguru: |
I love Z's stuff |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
then she took early retirement to play clay, got her husband into glass and then got
into it herself along with papillon doggies |
| Caneguru: |
Really. :) so she's showing dogs and doing glass now? |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
She used to email me "this retirement thing is great - clay all day" |
| Caneguru: |
>whimper< |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
She doesn't show her dogs, she is involved in rescue |
| Caneguru: |
20 years to retirement |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
She is also a proud grandmother now. REtirement? I'd just like to have ONE job |
| StarGazer: |
i've only got 7 years to retirement!! Yippee!! |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
I technically have 3 |
| Ronnie: |
I want retirement soooooooo badly! |
| Caneguru: |
thtptttttt @ Jean |
| StarGazer: |
lol |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
I'll be working forever - I have sons who want to go to Harvard.. |
| Caneguru: |
I don't want retirement, per se... just want something more aligned with my
interests.. that pays |
| StarGazer: |
syndee i sent you some pics of things i've made with Pinata inks... :) |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
oh goodie - which email? |
| StarGazer: |
msn.com i can pop them here if you'd like to see now... |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
ARGHH - one of the cats just stuck their paw through the keyboard drawer....
YES! |
| Caneguru: |
lol pop away |
| StarGazer: |
ok... just a sec... |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
if you get funny postings - it's the cat |
| Ronnie: |
here kitty, kitty, kitty!!! |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
why do they do that? |
| Caneguru: |
they like "chat" rooms |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
they think it's funny to make me jump 3 feet? |
| StarGazer: |
*SHOWURL* http://www.pbase.com/stargazer/fiesta_ink |
| Caneguru: |
nice fishy |
| StarGazer: |
you can click on them to get the big pic... |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
Wow! love the middle one!! |
| StarGazer: |
the middle pic is the transfer i was talking about earlier... :) |
| Ronnie: |
they're wonderful!! I love the transfer!! |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
how did you apply the inks? darn cat |
| StarGazer: |
:) *blush* Thanks!! ;) |
| StarGazer: |
first i transferred the image...to trans clay then i painted the image with the pinata
ink |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
did you back it on Pearl clay? I think I see mica |
| Caneguru: |
very nice |
| StarGazer: |
then the transfer/trans/pinata sheet was put onto another sheet of clay (white, i
think) that was covered with silver foil leaf...either white or pearl... |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
leaf that's what i see |
| StarGazer: |
thanks linda! yup, silver! |
| Caneguru: |
What are the dimensions of that piece? |
| StarGazer: |
maybe 4 x 6? |
| Caneguru: |
thx |
| StarGazer: |
like an index card...i made that after i got my Kit! :) |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
Did you mount it on another sheet of clay to hang? |
| StarGazer: |
yup, the white that's covered with the silver foil is on a sheet of red that is on a
sheet of black... |

| Caneguru: |

| SYNDEEHOLT: |

| Caneguru: |
oh LOL |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
Jacquard is RGS like Sculpey is Polyform |
| StarGazer: |
:) |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
At HIA I intend to bend the ear of every bigwig from Michaels I come across about the
displeasure voiced on PCC about stocking this month And thell them they can make partial
amends by stocking the new stuff pronto |
| Ronnie: |
:-) |
| Caneguru: |
The Michaels out here are awful. The large Jo-Anns stores are faboo, tho |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
Joannes is going big time on clay |
| Caneguru: |
and discounting for PCC members :) |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
we want special coupons on PCC |
| Ronnie: |
i actually have 2 michaels, a joannes and ac moore - they're all really not bad |
| StarGazer: |
have you ever painted Pinata on a cane as you were piecing it together? like an
outline? would it show? |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
Yes, star |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
also stamping onto the sliced cane ALso, try PXing the outside of the cane and then
sealing with Pinata - gorgeous |
| StarGazer: |
Wahoo!! stamping with rubber stamps?? |
| Caneguru: |
that's a grand idea! |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
Oh I use PInata to stamp all the time - you can PX underneath and PX over it |
| Caneguru: |
never thought about the outside! |
| StarGazer: |
Wahoo!! |
| Caneguru: |
gem encrusted cane |
| StarGazer: |
yeah, really! |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
gem encrusted ANYTHING |
| Caneguru: |
I got new gems for my B-day :) |
| StarGazer: |
wahoo!!! 'course you're a gem too! |
| Caneguru: |
lol Jean lots of inclusions in this gem, Jean |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
ACtually, you know the old texture plate that looks like cobblestone? |
| Caneguru: |
yep |
| StarGazer: |
?? |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
reverse it into the clay so the cobbles are down and fill with Pinatas mixed with
alcohol or extender for enamel |
| StarGazer: |
oh, yeah... i have that text plate! |
| Caneguru: |
uh... won't it evaporate? |
| StarGazer: |
i think it's supposed to evaporate... :) |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
or texture right side up and color only the cobbles for gems - use gold clay and they
are gems set in gold |
| Caneguru: |
hmmmm have to mess with that |
| StarGazer: |
oooooooooooooo purty! |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
use qtips to apply |
| StarGazer: |
is SO glad she logged this chat... |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
I tell ya, all I need practically is pinata and clay and I'm set |
| Caneguru: |
:-) |
| StarGazer: |
and PX... :) |
| Ronnie: |
i'll definitely open my kit this weekend |
| StarGazer: |

| Ronnie: |

| SYNDEEHOLT: |
oh okay and an extruder gun |
| StarGazer: |
LOL |
| Ronnie: |
;-) |
| Caneguru: |
Hey, didja harrass the powers that be about bigger portions of black PX??? |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
Yes, I'm hoping that's one of the 8 new colors. Now something else? Their textile
paints are wonderful on the surface of baked clay |
| Caneguru: |
yay! |
| StarGazer: |
Way cool! |
| Caneguru: |
what other colors are they thinking about? |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
I want black, GITD, acid green, orange, red, deep purple, bright silver, |
| Caneguru: |
yes on bright silver |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
If they have any set, they didn't tell me |
| Ronnie: |
ooohhh deep purple!!! |
| Caneguru: |
and purple. can't go wrong with purple |
| StarGazer: |
true! |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
I want to do a mixing chart of the colors too - that's on my loooong list of things to
do |
| Caneguru: |
cool |
| StarGazer: |
do you have any clay items up anywhere that used the textile paints? |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
the blue and the super copper make an interesting color |
| Caneguru: |
Supercopper is one of my alltime favorite things... :) |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
no Star, not yet - they are really smooth - smoother than acrylics |
| StarGazer: |
cool! |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
but they are translucent also, so if you wipe across white textured clay and let it
dry - it looks like enamels white porcelain |
| StarGazer: |
oh wow!! that's so cool!! i GOTTA get me some of those!!! |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
So if you use white clay and blue textiles - you get a lovely sculpter porcelain
effect |
| Caneguru: |
the ones just called Textile paint? |
| StarGazer: |
do that have any SWAGS??? |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |
yes, Textile paints - I'll see about SWAG |
| Caneguru: |
SWAG? |
| SYNDEEHOLT: |

Lumieres and Textile paints for comparison |
