<Judy> hi, all
<AliciaG> hi
* raven is ready to be surprised!
<stampverb> heavenly?
<Jambalaya> Y'all go get a softdrink, and hopefully when you get back, we'll know what class is [the originally scheduled teacher was unable to attend]
<Monica> hi
<Monica> lol, jam
<stampverb> Jam, something with tons o' prizes! <g>
<Monica> prizes are good
<Monica> <g>
* stampverb getting antsy, waiting for the substitute teacher!
* stampverb assembles pile of spitballs
* Jambalaya hands verby popcorn to pass around to keep her busy
<stampverb> hehehe
<Vyx-afk> lol Verbie... I was just looking at a transcript of a class I taught and you were making piles of spitballs...
<Jambalaya> hiya red
<stampverb> popcorm tastes way better than spitballs
<Vyx-afk> Hiya Red!
<Monica> 2monica hands verbie some more scrap paper
<cak> we may have to take matters into our own hands and teach amongst ourselves (and make sure stampverb is on the receiving end of her share of spitballs)
<Redstick> Hey Jam.....
<cak> Ms Red!
<stampverb> Vyx, Enchilada Casseole, V 2.0 is in the oven as we speak
<Redstick> Hey Vyx, Cak
<raven> yo Red LTNS
<Vyx-afk> oooh, you liked that, eh?
<stampverb> sure did!
<Redstick> hey there Raven
<stampverb> this time, went for the el cheapo red chilie sauce as you suggested
<Redstick> Well...ya'll.....since Cindy was teaching for me.....you want me to teach what I've got for tomorrow at 4pm?
<labelle> sure
<Jambalaya> ooooooooooooo
<M> yes
<Monica> yes
<stampverb> yes! I can't be at the 4 pm class!
<Judy> yes
<Jambalaya> yes, please
<Vyx-afk> That'd be great, cuz I can't be here at 4 pm!
<Lynn> yes!
<stubby> good idea!
<Redstick> Ok..then here's the URL
<cak> I sure wouldn't turn you down! (I looooove Redstick classes)
<Monica> oh, the enchanted book ~ yeah
<raven> oh cool!
<Redstick> http://www.enchantedink.com/class062503/class062503.htm [this link is currently inactive]
<Monica> i want to make a couple of those and a refresher course would come in handy
<Judy> beautiful book, Red
<Redstick> THIS IS NOT A BOOK FOR THE FAINT OF HEART <G>
<Monica> very nice
<Redstick> TY JUDY!
<raven> oh wow... this is incredible
<Redstick> BUT IT'S SURE FUN TO PLAY WITH AND MAKES YOU DRAG OUT STAMPS YOU HAVEN'T USED IN AGES
<Jambalaya> oh my, we're going to need to see this one twice
<Lynn> ooh I wanted to try this again
<Redstick> BASICALLY, IT USES A PANORAMA CARD TECHNIQUE
<Redstick> THESE TWO ARE 4" X 5" IN SIZE, BUT YOU CAN MAKE THEM ANY SIZE YOU WANT
<nancyvt> very cool book
<stampverb> sounds like some of you folks have done an earlier version? If so, is there a URL for that one?
<Marion> That is no help. LOL I have no idea what a papnorama card is.
<Monica> me either
<Redstick> I MADE THEM THAT SIZE SO YOU COULD USE A REGULAR PC OF CARDSTOCK
<Redstick> YOU NEED TO CUT THE C/S 4" X 11"
<mexico> well here i am
<Monica> hi, mexico
<Jambalaya> http://www.enchantedink.com/class062503/class062503.htm
<mexico> hi
<Redstick> THEN MEASURE OVER 3" ALONG THE LONG EDGE FROM EACH END
* stampverb sits next to Mexicao
<Redstick> THAT WILL GIVE YOU A 4" X 5" PANEL IN THE CENTER
<Redstick> USE A BONE FOLDER OR SCORING TOOL TO SCORE THE C/S AT THOSE TWO POINTS
<Redstick> AND YOU'LL HAVE 3 PANELS, 3" X 4" , 5" X 4" AND 3" X 4"
<Redstick> ANY QUESTIONS...YA
<Redstick> YA'LL WITH ME?
<Monica> yes, clear so far
<Judy> yep
<Marion> ok
<labelle> so far so good
<Redstick> NOW YOU NEED TO TURN BOTH OF THE 3" X 4" PANELS INTO ACCORDIONS
<Redstick> YOU **COULD** MEASURE IT ALL OUT.........
<cak> (oh please---NOOOOOO)
<Redstick> BUT IT'S EASIER TO JUST FOLD EACH OF THE ENDS IN HALF
<beanjean1> hello
<Redstick> THEN FOLD EACH OF THOSE IN HALF
<stubby> hi bean
<Redstick> HEY BJ
<cak> (ah--thank you, thank you)
<beanjean1> sorry to be late
<Redstick> SOOOOO.....YOU WIND UP WITH A 4" X 5" PANEL WITH A 4 PART ACCORDION ON EACH END
<Jambalaya> http://www.enchantedink.com/class062503/class062503.htm
<Redstick> THEN CUT TWO PCS OF C/S 4 7/8" X 4"
<Jambalaya> http://www.enchantedink.com/class062503/class062503.htm
<Redstick> THAT WILL GIVE YOU THREE LEVELS TO WORK WITH
<Redstick> NOW IT'S ALL UP TO YOU <G>
<mexico> This wonderful work
* raven FOUND her KITTY! sorry to interupt with the notice! Back to your original programming!!!!
<Lynn> YAY Raven!!!
<Monica> nice to hear Raven
<Redstick> YOU'LL WANT TO CUT SOME TYPE OF WINDOW IN THE PANEL WITH THE ACCORDION FOLDS
<Redstick> GREAT RAVEN!
<labelle> the 4 x 5 panel?
<beanjean1> cool books red!!!!
<Redstick> AND THEN SOME TYPE OF WINDOW IN THE PANEL THAT COMES BEHIND...
<Redstick> YES, LABELLE
<labelle> ty
<Redstick> BUT DON'T CUT ANY WINDOW IN THE BACK PANEL....THAT'S YOUR BACKGROUND
<M> Hey Red -- the directions say "C" but the diagram says "A".... are they the same?
<Redstick> NOPE...SORRY M...
<Redstick> THAT SHOULD READ "PANEL A WILL BE THE BACKGROUND"
<Jambalaya> http://www.enchantedink.com/class062503/class062503.htm
<M> Thanks!!
<Redstick> I WAS THINKING A AS THE FRONT...B AS MIDDLE AND C AS BACKGROUND
<Redstick> I START WITH THE BACKGROUND
<Redstick> DECIDE WHAT I'M GOING TO USE STAMP WISE FOR THE PICTURE
<Redstick> IN ORDER TO HELP CREATE THE ILLUSION OF DEPTH
<Redstick> USE SMALLER STAMPS FARTHER INTO THE TUNNEL
<mexico> this way over my head, so good night all
<Redstick> ONCE I'VE DECIDED ON THE BACKGROUND...THEN I CAN PLAN MY WINDOWS TO TO FRAME THE FOCAL POINTS
<Redstick> SORRY MEXICO :(
<Redstick> OTHER THAN THE CONSTRUCTION, IT'S HARD TO TEACH YOU HOW TO PLAN THE CARD...JUST PLAY WITH DIFFERENT IMAGES UNTIL UNTIL YOU GET A COMBINATION YOU LIKE
<labelle> I love the fairies and the depth you created
<cak> a great excuse to stamp a lot. Sorry honey, I have to experiment
<Lynn> these are great Red
<Redstick> THE ORIENTAL ONE HAS GREAT DEPTH TOO...ONLY DIDN'T SCAN AS WELL
<Redstick> ONCE YOU'VE FINISHED THE TUNNEL PART....FIND A NICE PC OF C/S OR HANDMADE HEAVYWEIGHT PAPER
<Redstick> AND CUT IT TO 4 1/4" X 12"
<Redstick> THEN CENTER THE TUNNEL OVER THE C/S AND MAKE A "FOLDER"
<Redstick> THREE FOLD FOR A SINGLE TUNNEL...BUT ONLY TWO FOLD IF YOU WANT TO BIND THEM
<Lynn> ???
<Redstick> THAT PART...THE BINDING...WAS FUN TO FIGURE OUT
<Redstick> LYNN...THE FIRST SAMPLE IS A SINGLE TUNNEL
<Redstick> THE SECOND SAMPLE IS THREE TUNNELS BOUND INTO A HARD COVER
<Lynn> now I get it
<Lynn> ty
<labelle> does the second one have three folders, or only one for all three tunnels?
<Redstick> THE TRICK IS TO USE A "FLEXIBLE" SPINE ...LABELLE...A FOLDER FOR EACH...THAT IS WHERE THE BINDING IS
<labelle> got you, thanks again
<Redstick> I SUPPOSE YOU *COULD* BIND USING ONE OF THE ACCORDION FOLDS...BUT YOU'D HAVE TO BIND BEFORE YOU PUT THE TUNNEL TOGETHER
<Redstick> AND THAT WOULD BE DIFFICULT
<Redstick> WITH THE FOLDERS....IT MAKES PAGES WHERE YOU CAN TELL A STORY, OR WRITE A POEM, OR JUST STAMP MORE STUFF
<Redstick> IT'S ALMOST LIKE A KID'S POP-OUT BOOK <G>
<Redstick> TWO TIPS FOR THE CUT OUTS
<Redstick> 1. USE VERY TINY DETAIL SCISSORS
<Redstick> 2. USE A MARKER TO GO AROUND THE CUT EDGES
<Redstick> THE WHITE EDGES OR LITTLE PLACES THAT DIDN'T GET CUT PRECISELY WILL NOT SHOW IF YOU COLOR THEM TOO
<Redstick> YOU CAN ALSO USE POP DOTS OR TINY PCS OF FOAM TAPE TO RAISE IMAGES...AND GIVE EVEN MORE DIMENSION
<Redstick> NOW.....YOU *CAN* JUST STAMP THE PANELS AND CUT AROUND THE PARTS THAT ARE WITHIN THE WINDOW
<Redstick> BUT I LIKE THE CONTRAST OF THE COLORED IMAGES AGAINST THE NATURAL PAPER
<Redstick> *AND YOU CAN WORK WITH THE PLACEMENT EASIER
<Redstick> IF YOU'VE NEVER MADE A PANORAMA CARD BEFORE....START SMALL
<Redstick> EVEN TWO PANELS AND POP DOTS CUT OUTS ON THE FRONT ARE COOL TO MAKE
<Redstick> THEN WORK UP TO THREE PANELS
<Redstick> THEN MAKE SEVERAL TUNNELS AND BIND THEM <G>
<Redstick> IT'S A ***WHOLE LOT*** SHORTER TO TEACH THAN IT IS TO DO!
<Monica> lol
<Redstick> I SPENT ALMOST 40 HOURS WITH THE 2ND SAMPLE....AND REALLY HAD FUN!
<labelle> I saw that you took 40 hours to do the fairy card
<stampverb> it took you 40 hours??!!
<Monica> the fairy example is very beautiful, but 40 hours!
* Redstick NODS NODS NODS
* stampverb feels faint of heart
<Redstick> THERE ARE PAGES THAT I DIDN'T SCAN
<labelle> but time flies when you are having fun or creating, right
<Monica> I bet you kept it for yourself, didn't you?
<Redstick> I SCANNED ALL THE TUNNELS THOUGH
<Marion> I would have to love someone a lot to do that, and they better appreciate it!
* Redstick LAUGHS
<Redstick> I'LL USE IT FOR SAMPLES AT CONVENTIONS AND CLASSES
<Judy> do you need a home for it, Red?
<cak> lol Judy
<Redstick> WELLL.....<G>
<Judy> it's gorgeous, cak!
<Marion> So when are you coming to New England so I can see this in person?
<Redstick> I DUNNO MARION
<Marion> Bummer
<cak> these seem to be cards you do because you like the process, not just the product!
<labelle> what conventions will you be doing this year?
<Redstick> I THINK I'M GOING TO DO SOME TEACHING THINGS NEXT YEAR, RATHER THAN JUST CONVENTIONS
<Marion> Maybe in retirement, not of teaching schedule!
<cak> Yay!
<Redstick> THE ONLY ONE LEFT THIS YEAR IS GRAPEVINE IN AUGUST LABELLE
<Lynn> You have to come north next year
<labelle> bummer - too far west for me
<Redstick> THERE ARE SEVERAL GREAT WORKSHOP/ARTFUL WEEKEND THINGIES..
<stampverb> At conventions, how do you keep your creations from being loved to death? Do you keep things like this out of reach (look, don't touch) ?
<Redstick> AND I'VE GOT IDEAS FOR BOOKS COMING OUT MY EARS <G>
<Lynn> you'd have to keep this tied down
<labelle> that sounds great - through design originals?
<Redstick> NO WAY STAMPSVERB! I WANT PEOPLE TO LOOK *AND* TOUCH
<M> The Crafters Workshop in Elmsford NY would be a WONDERFUL place for you to come and teach at next year. :)
<Lynn> YES!!
<Redstick> WHEN THINGS GET TATTERED, I JUST RETIRE THEM
<M> I knew Lynn would like that.. someone wake up NancyVT so she can agree too
<Lynn> Nancy!!
<Redstick> M....DO THEY HAVE A WEBSITE?
<nancyvt> sorry!!! i'm gabbing on another chat, lol!
* stampverb lobs spitball at Nancy
<M> I'll email it to you
<nancyvt> yes yes yes yes yes yes
<Monica> busted, nancy
<Redstick> LABELLE....I MEANT IDEAS FOR BOOK CLASSES <G>
