Session Start: Thu Jun 27 12:09:26 2002

<brenda> WE ARE SKIPPING THE FIRST SAMPLE

<brenda> AND GOING TO THE NEXT

<brenda> THAT IS CLAY

<InkyWings> oh, I just wondered what it was

<InkyWings> thanks. ;_)

cindyc jumps ahead, wondering where bb got that cute little doll baby

<brenda> I ROLLED IT THRU PASTA MACHINE TO CONDITION IT

<brenda> THEN I PUT MAGIC LEAF ON IT

<brenda> AND RAN IT THRU TWICE MORE

<InkyWings> is that the metallic shining kind of thing?

<brenda> YOU CAN DO THE SAME WITH A ROLLING PIN

<brenda> YES INKY

<InkyWings> ok

<kaye> hello everyone

<sparkle> brenda...evo templates make EXCELLENT clay cutting tools too

<brenda> IT CRACKS THE MAGIC LEAF TO CREATE SOME AWESOME OLD TYPE LOOK WITH SHINE IN IT

<brenda> YES THEY DO SPARKLE

<brenda> HELLO KAYE

<kaye> hi

<brenda> http://www.red-castle.com/gallery/bb2.htm

<brenda> THEN AFTER CRACKING THE MAGIC LEAF I USED A BLACK RANGER 213 INK TO STAMP AN IMAGE

<brenda> I USED PHILS EMBLEM PLATE

<brenda> IT IS PERFECT FOR SO MANY THINGS FOR MEN

<brenda> LIKE KEY CHAINS AND SHRINK PROJECTS

<brenda> THEN I ADDED POWDERED PEARLS TO JUST PARTS OF THE DESIGN I WANTE TO HIGHLIGHT

<brenda> THEN I DONT KNOW IF JHONE STILL CARRIES IT OR NOT

<brenda> BUT I PUT THE CLAY IMAGE AFTER IT WAS BAKED ONTO LOKTA PAPER

<brenda> THEN MOUNTED THAT TO CARDSTOCK

<brenda> I LOVE THAT PAPER

<brenda> SAMPLE 3 IS MADE THE SAME WAY

<brenda> ANY QUESTIONS?

<brenda> AM I STILL HERE?

<InkyWings> yes.. lol

<cindyc> you are here

<brenda> IS ANYONE HERE?

<brenda> K

<brenda> TY

<cak-brb> (kinda)

<kaye> yes

<brenda> LOL

<brenda> OK THE TAGS I DID WERE DONE ON ACETATE

<InkyWings> ok, my cake is ready

<InkyWings> brb

<brenda> I MODIFIED THE DIRECTIONS FOR ME

<brenda> CAUSE I HAVE COLOR PROBLEMS

<brenda> I CANT SEE A LOT OF SHADES

<brenda> SO THIS MADE THE COLORS LIGHTER AND EASIER FOR ME TO CONTROL

<brenda> I USED CHEAP WHITE TISSUE

<brenda> CHEAP WHITE GLUE

<brenda> THEN YOUR CHOICE OF TRIA INKS OR CHEAP WATERCOLOR INKS (WHICH IS WHAT I USE)

<brenda> IF YOU USE THE TRIAS YOU CAN USE A LEAFING PEN FOR MARBLING ON IT

<brenda> AND YOU IUSE ALCOHOL

<brenda> ON A FELT PAD TO DAB THE COLORS ON

<brenda> DEIRECTLY TO THE CARDSTOCK

<brenda> GLOSSY

<InkyWings> ok, have to leave for the stable

<InkyWings> see you later girls!

<brenda> THEN PUT THE LEAFING PEN ON THE CARDSTOCK AND SPRITZ WITH MORE ALCOHOL

<brenda> BYE INKY

<InkyWings> bye

<cindyc> perty

<brenda> THIS IS WHAT THEY CALL THE POLISHED STONE TECHNIQUE

<brenda> TY CINDY

cindyc loves ps

<brenda> NOW YOU CAN DO THIS WITH WATERCOLORS BY PUTTING GLUE TO THE ACETATE

<brenda> CHEAP WHITE GLUE

<brenda> THEN ADD CHEAP WATERCOLORS WITH AA BRUSH

<brenda> AND JUST SWIRL IT OVER

<brenda> THEN PUT TISSUE OVER IT

<brenda> ONTO THE GLUE

<brenda> THEN LET DRY AND CUT TO FIT TAG

<brenda> ON TAG 5 I PUT A CLAY PIECE ON IT

<sparkle> (actually, it's the Metallic Polished Stone tech, the original developed for Letraset/Tria years ago didn't use the metallic pens)

<brenda> ON 6 AND 7 THAT IS THE GLUE ON ACETATE ON TO THE TREIA BACKGROUND

<brenda> OH REALLY DIDNT KNOW THAT

<brenda> TY SPARKLE

<brenda> ANY QUESTIONS?

<cindyc> nope! Ü

<brenda> K

cindyc knew that....

<brenda> LOL

<cindyc> Suze did the original.....

<brenda> WAS THINKING THAT SHE DID

<kaye> great ideas brenda

<brenda> http://cyberstampers.com/convention/red-castle/

<brenda> THIS IS PHILS BOOTH FOR CONVENTION

<cindyc> brenda is full of it.. i mean them <>

<brenda> KAIS AND STAMPS HAVE GOOD SPECIALS TOO

<brenda> BUT THOSE FIT ITS ARE GREAT

<brenda> SOME DAY I AM GOING TO DO A CLASS ON THEM

<cindyc> yep they are!

<brenda> ANOTHER THING I SHOULD MENTION CAUSE SHE IS HERE

<brenda> IS THAT CINDY HAS A GREAT WAY TO MAKE CHEAPERE INKS FOR THE STONE TECHNIQUE

<kaye> the special on kai is amazing

<brenda> YES IT IS KAYE

<brenda> I NEED A NEW PAIR NOW

<cindyc> which someone "borrowed" and put in a mag article... lol haha

<kaye> i don't have any

<cindyc> kai's are the cadillac of scissors

<brenda> I DIDNT KNOW THAT CINDY

<cindyc> i have several (somewhere)

<kaye> getting more into unmounted the kai would really come in handy

<cindyc> i should really start submitting before sharing online i guess

<brenda> I ONLY HAVE ONE PAIR

<brenda> YEP YOU SHOULD

<kaye> what mag cindy

<cindyc> like what i am teaching sunday...

<sparkle> that's the golden rule of being published...

<cindyc> i dont' remember kaye, i read em all

<brenda> KAYE THEY ARE ESSENTIAL IF YOU ARE GETTING UNMOUNTEDS

<sparkle> don't teach it before hand or otherwise share the info

<sparkle> until you're in print

<cindyc> i know sparkle, i am just toooooo kind....lol

<cindyc> ok, cancel my class (but don't tell red.....)

<brenda> LOL

<kaye> lol

<cindyc> but people ought to at least give credit.... shame on them!

<brenda> YEP

<kaye> sparkle do you still have a shop

<brenda> IF THEY KNOW

<brenda> SOME DONT KNOW

<cindyc> i think everyone knew about my inks....

<kaye> it will come back to them cindy

<cindyc> i am famous for them... lol

<brenda> BUT WHEN THEY DO THEY SHOULD

<sparkle> nope, I don't kaye...

<sparkle> I got too busy to be a good vendor

<brenda> BRB

<kaye> when did that happen

<cindyc> someone wrote me once and said, it is really you, the rit lady! cracked me up

<cindyc> oh, kaye, not a biggie

<sparkle> ummm, early this year? I don't remember

<cindyc> i think my recipe must be on more than a dozen web pages.... lol

<kaye> i just believe if you put out good then good comes back and vice versa

<cindyc> think so

<cindyc> me too

<brenda> YEP

<kaye> that is why i try to put out good all of the time no matter what others do

<cindyc> oh, and i gave credit on my version of the inks on how to use them my version of ps, which i first learned from suze... and with her permission....lol

<kaye> sometimes it is harder than others...lol

<brenda> I WAS SITTING HERE TRYING TO REMEMBER WHO IT WAS THAT TOLD ME THE NEAT IDEA ABOUT PUTTING MAGIC LEAF ON THE CLAY THEN RUNNING IT THRU PASTA MACHINE AGAIN

<brenda> DEB ? OR SPARKLE?

<cindyc> but hey, let's talk about men cards...lol

<cindyc> i saw that on carols show several times

<cindyc> perty

<cindyc> but we have time.. to share more ideas maybe?

<brenda> GO SHOPPING AT RED CASTLES

<brenda> YEP SURE

<cindyc> and i am with you on the medallions for mens cards too

<brenda> I THINK THE EMBLEMS ARE THE BEST DESIGNS FOR MEN

<cindyc> and they are perfect add on's to the boxes you can make with his fit its! (using the ps technique of course)

<sparkle> I dunno brenda, it's a clay technique that's been around forever

<cindyc> how is that for a tie in?

<kaye> brenda, have you tried the pearlescent liquid acrylics on clay yet?

<brenda> I AM GOING TO MAKE A KEYCHAIN WITH THE SHIP FOR A SAILOR FRIEND

<brenda> NOPE KAYE I HAVENT

<cindyc> oooo, good idea

<brenda> I LOVE THE POWDERED PEARLS

<kaye> it works the same as the leaf

<brenda> AND TRY NOT TO DO DETAIL PAINTING

<brenda> REALLY

<kaye> no that is not what you do

<brenda> I WILL HAVE TO TRY THAT

<brenda> JUST PAINT AND LET DRY THEN ROLL AGAIN KAYE?

<kaye> you paint some on top of a sheet of clay

<kaye> yes

<brenda> GOOD

<brenda> WILL DEFINATELY TRY

<kaye> it crackles really cool

<kaye> more colors than leaf

<brenda> YEP

<kaye> no lumieres don't

<brenda> K

<brenda> NEOPAQUES?

<sparkle> they're too thick

<brenda> K

<sparkle> for some reason it only works with the PLA
