<LLB> Wow. I've had a little stash of polymer clay for a while, but am not really sure about it. THIS is what you can do? Wow.

<stubby> http://www.cyberstampers.com/convention/stubbystampers/

<Judy> was wayyyyyyy down there

<Jambalaya> YES LLB, AND THIS WAS MY FIRST REAL PROJECT WITH CLAY, SO IT'S EASY TO GET STARTED

<CindyC> hi cindy

<CindyC> http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=2940501&uid=1171869

<Jambalaya> http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=2940501&uid=1171869

<Jambalaya> OH, TY CINDY

<CindyC> i can do that for ya jam

<cindyfitz> HI Everyone!

<CindyC> http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=2940501&uid=1171869

<CindyC> aren't i fast?

<stubby> http://www.cyberstampers.com/convention/stubbystampers/

<Jambalaya> IT TOOK ME UNTIL THIS SUMMER TO GET AROUND TO USING CLAY FOR REAL, AND WHEN I REALIZED HOW EASY IT REALLY IS, I KICKED MYSELF FOR NOT STARTING SOONER

<phyl> i am in the pre kicking stage

<CindyC> lol

<Jambalaya> FIRST CONDITION CLAY

<Jambalaya> I FOUND THE EASIEST WAY TO DO THIS IS WITH THE PASTA MACHINE

<phyl> what kind of clay are you using?

<LLB> Need a cheap Pasta machine. Been working on that for a while ...

<Jambalaya> CUT THIN SLICES OFF BLOCK AND ROLL THEM THROUGH

<Jambalaya> POLYMER CLAY PHYL

<phyl> any brand?

<Jambalaya> PRETTY MUCH

<phyl> k thanks

<AussiePam> I hae the Das Pronto air dry. Is that the same thing?

<mexico> oh jam i can not get that here in Mexico , so i will say good nite all

<Jambalaya> I DID FIND I LIKED WORKING WITH BLACK BEST, AND ADDING COLOR WITH MICA POWDERS

<StayC> Bibi and I played with Kato clay while I was in Norway, and I loved the stuff...very easy to condition

<fec139> mexico, why don

<phyl> very nice stuff Kato

<Jambalaya> PAM, NO

<fec139> mexico why don't you order it online?

<LLB> I have no black. I have a lot of mica powders.

<Jambalaya> POLYMER CLAY MUST BE BAKED

<AussiePam> oh well, I'll sit in anyway.

<Judy> hi, Janet

<cak> You'll have to try the technique with the air dry and let us know!

<zombie> hi!!

<Jambalaya> HOWEVER, THE PRINCIPLES OF WORKING WITH CLAY APPLY TO ALL CLAYS

<mexico> it can not be shipped to me here as the cost is very high

<CindyC> can we hold questions until jam asks for them please?

<mexico> oh I am sorry

<phyl> me too

<CindyC> †

<Jambalaya> JANET!!!

<Seesa> Hey Janet!

<Janet> i just woke up again

<CindyC> Janet!

<LLB> Sorry. Forgot the rules. Mexico, don

<Jambalaya> I LEARNED A BUNCH ABOUT CLAY FROM JANET TOO

<Bibi> welcome out of the zombieland, janet

<LLB> tToo late

<Jambalaya> http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=2940501&uid=1171869

<stubby> http://www.cyberstampers.com/convention/stubbystampers/

<phyl> Been playing with voo doo again Janet?

<CindyC> and i helped provoke her even more.... heh

<Janet> always<g>

<phyl> lol

<Jambalaya> OK, ONCE CLAY IS CONDITIONED, ROLL OUT A THICK SHEET AND PLACE IT ON A CERAMIC TILE

<Janet> oh wow. i love these pins!

<Janet> (I own one of these pins. neener neener)

<cak> thick as in 1/4 inch or thicker than that?

<phyl> brrrrrrrrit!!1

<Jambalaya> PLACE THE UNMOUNTED STAMP ON THE CLAY, AND ROLL IT WITH AN ACRYLIC ROD OR BRAYER TO GET A NICE DEEP IMPRESSION

<Jambalaya> CAK, I'D SAY IT'S ABOUT 1/8 INCH

<cak> gotcha, thanks

<CindyC> stubbys stamps are perfectly designed for pins!

<Jambalaya> THICKEST SETTING ON PASTA MACHINE

<CindyC> i own two janet.. thbbbt

<Jambalaya> THIS PARTICULAR STAMP WAS JUST SO PERFECT FOR A ROUND PIN

<Janet> LOL

<stubby> ty

<Jambalaya> GENTLY LIFT STAMP BACK OFF CLAY, AND THEN CUT AROUND CIRCLE WITH ONE OF THOSE PLASTIC CLAY TOOLS

<stubby> #3606 if any one wants to know <g>

<Jambalaya> THEN LEAVING IT IN PLACE ON THE TILE, JUST ROUND IT OFF, WITH THE TOOL

<cak> (I do, thanks stubby)

<phyl> me 2

<Jambalaya> NOW, I DID A LOT OF THESE, FOR CONVENTION TRADES, SO I DID A PRODUCTION LINE

<Jambalaya> I PUT 4 MEDALLIONS ON EACH TILE

<Jambalaya> ONCE YOU ARE HAPPY WITH SHAPE, BRUSH ON MICA POWDERS

<Jambalaya> ANY BRAND

<Jambalaya> THEY ALL WORK GREAT ON CLAY

<Jambalaya> THEN POP THE WHOLE TILE IN TO BAKE GOING BY PACKAGE DIRECTIONS FOR WHATEVER BRAND YOU ARE USING

<Jambalaya> OK, ANY QUESTIONS?

<Judy> ty, Stubby, I wanted to know

<phyl> when you are pushing your stamp into the clay how far in do you go

<phyl> to the bottom?

<Jambalaya> PHYL, NO, NOT TO BOTTOM, THAT WOULD CUT IT

<Jambalaya> YOU JUST HAVE TO PUSH IT IN TILL YOU GET A NICE EVN IMPRESSION

<phyl> k

<ash> Jam, could you pass the clay and the stamp on a thicker setting through the pasta machine?

<Jambalaya> ASH, NOT IN THIS CASE

<CindyC> that would be too thick on mine ash

<phyl> do you put anything on the tile so the clay don't stick? Or does it pop off after baking?

<Jambalaya> THESE MEDALLIONS ARE ALREADY AT THE THICKEST SETTING

<ash> okay, thanks

<Jambalaya> IT POPS OFF AFTER BAKING

<phyl> gotcha

<Jambalaya> OK, NOW YOU HAVE THE MEDALLIONS

<Jambalaya> ROLL A SNAKE OF CLAY TO ENCIRCLE THE MEDALLION

<Jambalaya> THIS WILL FORM A BEZEL

<Janet> (I just found this stamp on the old new page at http://www.stubbystampers.com/new.html)

<Jambalaya> IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THE EXACT LENGHT

<phyl> thanks janet

<stubby> ty

<CindyC> http://www.stubbystampers.com/new.html

<Jambalaya> JUST PUSH IT IN CLOSE, AND THEN WILL NEKID UM STAMP, PUSH STAMP INTO CLAY TOWARD MEDALLION

<Janet> what happens if my snake is too long?

<stubby> http://www.cyberstampers.com/convention/stubbystampers/

<CindyC> bite its head off

<ash> lol

<CindyC> bobbit

<Janet> okay okay, but someone wuz gonna ask it

<Janet> it might as well have been me

<phyl> lol cindy

<Jambalaya> EVEN WHERE YOU JOIN ISN'T TOO IMPORTANT, BECAUSE WHEN YOU STAMP INTO IT, IT ALL EVENS OUT

<stubby> am i the only one here that did not know that the snake around it was a bezel

<Jambalaya> LOL, ANDY

<CindyC> we are pretending to be smart stubby

<Janet> and I stamp the medallions with UMs, I think they're easier to feel if you've got a good impression or not

<Jambalaya> BEZEL IS A JEWELERY TERM, USUALLY USED IN WATCHES

<Janet> bezel, like the gold part around the stone

<Jambalaya> IT'S THE RING THAT HOLDS IT ALL TOGETHER

<stubby> sounds kinda frenchy N.O. too

<CindyC> i thought it was what Im did at the bank

<phyl> bezel is bezelebub's wife

<CindyC> lol

<ash> lol

<CindyC> sorry jam, please continue

<Janet> i'm too asleep to laugh this hard

<phyl> oops sorry

<stubby> ok sorry jam, i was trying to learn something and all the clowns jumped on board

<Jambalaya> OK, THEN DUST THE BEZEL WITH MICA POWDER AND BAKE AGAIN

<Janet> how many of these did you bake at once?

* Jambalaya GETS THE CRAWFISH READY FOR THE CLOWNS

<Bibi> lol

<CindyC> :X

<Jambalaya> I PUT 2 OF THESE ON EACH TILE TO BAKE

<Judy> lol

<Janet> (the clowns start warming their butter sauce)

<CindyC> <:x

<ash> lol

* phyl renames herself bozo

* Jambalaya JUST BOPS JANET

<Seesa> But she likes that too

<CindyC> shhhhhhh! lol

<Janet> lol this is true.

<Jambalaya> OK, ANY QUESTIONS HERE?

<Janet> so these are getting baked again, got it

<phyl> nope very well said

<Bibi> nope

<Jambalaya> SERIOUS QUESTIONS I MEAN

<Bibi> g

<CindyC> nope your instructions are beautifully illistrated jam

<Janet> and you texture-ized the bezel with the um stamp

<ash> I'm sorry, we baked the medallion first, then the bezel?

<Janet> the same stamp

<Judy> what color of pearl-ex did you use?

<CindyC> http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=2940501&uid=1171869

<Jambalaya> YES ASH

<ash> thanks

<Judy> or whatever mica powder you use

<Jambalaya> JUDY, I HAVE A VAST COLLECTION OF SEVERAL BRANDS OF MICA POWDERS

<Jambalaya> AND I USED THEM ALL!

<phyl> puce

<Judy> don't have that purple

<Jambalaya> I THINK THE BEST PURPLE WAS THE PERFECT PEARLS

<phyl> absolutely love that one

<stampverb> Jam, say again how you embossed the bezel snake?

<CindyC> it is gorgeous

<Judy> ty, jam

<Jambalaya> BY PUSHING THE UM INTO IT, VERB

<Jambalaya> THE SAME STAMP I USED FOR MEDALLION

<stampverb> on the rounded surface, huh?

<Jambalaya> EVERYTHING YOU SEE HERE USES THE SAME STAMP

<stubby> #3606 in case anyone wants to know

<Janet> so you're teaching us to only buy one stamp?? (how did Mike sneak me into this class???)

<stampverb> oh ok, I see now--picture #10

<Jambalaya> THE SNAKE IS PUT AROUND THE MEDALLION, AND THEN PUSHED IN WITH THE STAMP

<Jambalaya> LOL, JANET

<stampverb> sorry, I never tried this embossed snake before!

<CindyC> http://www.stubbystampers.com/new.html

<Jambalaya> I'M SURE IT WILL WORK WITH DIFFERENT STAMPS, THIS ONE WAS JUST TOO PERFECT

<Janet> the one stamp would get way too lonely, I must buy him 30 friends

<Bibi> lol

<phyl> at least

<Judy> lol, Janet - that's what we all do!

<CindyC> a harem of stamps?

<Jambalaya> OK, MOVING ON

<Janet> well, that's for today<g>

<phyl> k ready

<CindyC> me 2

<Judy> k

<Jambalaya> AFTER THOSE ARE BAKED, I WANT A NICE FINISHED BACK ON THEM

<stubby> more stamps, good!

<Jambalaya> SO I RAN MORE CLAY THROUGH A VERY THIN SETTING, NOT QUITE THE THINNEST

<Jambalaya> AND LAID THAT ON THE BACK, AND TRIMMED

<Jambalaya> THEN POSITION MY PINBACK, AND PRESS THAT DOWN

<Jambalaya> NOW TAKE SOME SCRAPS FROM THE THIN SHEET, AND ADD PIECES ON TOP OF PINBACK TILL IT'S COVERED

<Janet> so bury the base of the pinback

<Jambalaya> PRESS THIS ALL DOWN REAL WELL, AND THEM WITH SAME STAMP AGAIN, PRESS UM ALL OVER BACKING

<Jambalaya> THIS NOT ONLY MAKES IT LOOK NICE, IT COVERS UP ALL THE FINGERPRINTS<G>

<stubby> if any of you have seen jams work up close you would see it is totally professional and finished on all areas

<Jambalaya> YES JANET, BURY IT

<Bibi> clever

<CindyC> I can honestly say the the backs of jams pins are as perfect as the fronts.. i was so impressed... no pun intended!

<phyl> i assume this pin back is the one without the sticky foam on it?

<Jambalaya> AND I HAVE A PERSONALIZED STAMP( FROM GUESS WHO) AND I STAMP MY NAME INTO BACK

<CindyC> ummm stubby?

<Jambalaya> YES PHYL, REGULAR PINBACKS, NO STICKY STUFF

<phyl> k

<phyl> i assumed right for once

<Jambalaya> YES, STUBBY CAN CUSTOM MAKE SMALL ADDRESS TYPE STAMPS

<Judy> didn't know that

<Judy> I want one

<stubby> ok

<Judy> what do I ask for?

<phyl> the whole store

<Judy> is it on website?

<Janet> I'd start out with "Judy"

<Judy> lol, phyl - sounds good

<phyl> oh ya

<phyl> Judy's Jems

<Judy> have to check the pin I got from Jam

<Jambalaya> JUDY, SEE STUBBY AFTER CLASS, SHE'LL FILL YOU IN

<Judy> see what it says

<Judy> k

<Judy> ty

<stubby> email me at stubstamp@tislink.com and tell me what you think you would like and we will talk

<Judy> ok, ty

<Jambalaya> OK, TO BAKE IT THIS LAST TIME, YOU NEED TO PUT IT FACE DOWN

<Jambalaya> I USED A PAN OF CORNSTARCH TO LAY IT IN

<phyl> ?

<CindyC> smart woman

<phyl> a pan?

<Jambalaya> SO IT DIDN'T FLATTEN OUT ANYWHERE

<stampverb> fiberfill also works well

<Jambalaya> ACTUALLY, MY PAN IS ONE OF THOSE AOL TINS

<phyl> ah got it now

<phyl> can i do a question here?

<Jambalaya> SURE

<phyl> you mean that when you rebake clay that has been baked it can flatten out

<Jambalaya> WELL, IT WILL GET SPOTS THAT LOOK DIFFERENT WHERE IT TOUCHES THE TILE

<Janet> the dreaded shiny spot

<Jambalaya> NOT REALLY FLATTENED OUT BUT MARRED

<phyl> like shiney spots?

<Jambalaya> YA SHINY SPOTS

<phyl> k thanks

<Janet> they're evil

<phyl> hate them buggers

<Jambalaya> OK, NOW THAT FINISHED THE CONVENTION TRADES, BUT THEN I WANTED SOME FANCIER ONES FOR SWAPS AND GIFTS

<Jambalaya> SOOOOO

<CindyC> i got a fancy one....

<Janet> me too with beads, neener

<Judy> me too ....

<CindyC> http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=2940501&uid=1171869

<phyl> awwww if eel left out

<stubby> http://www.cyberstampers.com/convention/stubbystampers/

<Jambalaya> STARTING WITH ANOTHER THICK SHEET OF CLAY, I PUT STAMP IN MIDDLE, AND PRESSED LIGHTLY, JUST TO MARK SPACE

<CindyC> i hosted the pin swap phyl

<Jambalaya> THEN I CUT A HOLE OUT OF CENTER

<Janet> (I just begged real good in person)

<phyl> lol cindy

<Janet> the hole being the size of the stamp?

<Jambalaya> BUT INSIDE THE CIRCLE, SO I'D HAVE SOME CLAY TO SPREAD OUT THIN

<Jambalaya> MAYBE A 1/4 INCH INSIDE CIRCLE

<Jambalaya> I WANTED THE CLAY TO BE COMPLETELY UNDER THE MEDALLION

<Jambalaya> BUT I ALSO WANTED MEDALLION NOT TO STICK UP ABOVE IT

<Jambalaya> WITH ME?

<phyl> yup

<Judy> yep

<stampverb> yep

<ash> yes

<Janet> sorta kinda, i'm being quiet so I'll learn this part

<kanga> yep

<Jambalaya> OK, THEN, BEFORE I PUT THE MEDALLION IN, I STAMPED INTO ALL THE SURROUNDING CLAY, AGAIN WITH SAME STAMP

<Jambalaya> I ROLLED IT IN WITH ACRYLIC ROLLER

<Jambalaya> JUST MADE AN ALL OVER PATTERN

<Janet> rolled in the stamp? did it stick?

<Jambalaya> NO, IT' DIDN'T STICK

<Janet> so like you did the bezel before, but over a larger area?

<Jambalaya> YA

<Jambalaya> AND A LITTLE DEEPER

<Janet> okay, i'm back wif ya again

<Jambalaya> OK, SO NOW, WE NEED THE SNAKE BEZEL

<Jambalaya> I'M AFRAID THE BEZEL DIDN'T SHOW UP WELL IN THE PICTURE, BLACK AGAINST BLACK

<Jambalaya> YOU CAN SEE IT IN THE FINISHED PICS THAT HAVE THE MICA ON THEM

<Jambalaya> WITH ME?

<stubby> your examples and steps are superb

<phyl> still

<Jambalaya> TY

<CindyC> y

<Judy> as is your choice of stamps

<CindyC> jam is an excellent teacher

<Janet> i forgot the pics. now I'm right with ya

<CindyC> http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=2940501&uid=1171869

<Jambalaya> OK, THEN TRIM TO OUTER PART WITH YOUR CLAY BLADE TO WHATEVER SHAPE YOU WANT

<Jambalaya> YOU CAN GET CURVED CUTS BY BENDING THE BLADE

<Janet> did you cut these by eye, or use a cereal bowl for the top or what?

<Jambalaya> THEN POKE HOLES WITH A DRINKING STRAW

<Jambalaya> JANET I DID IT BY EYEING IT

<Janet> wow. i always have to use something

<Jambalaya> IF SOMEONE SAT DOWN AND MEASURED I'M SURE THEY WOULDN'T BE PERFECT

<Jambalaya> BUT THEN I'D SHOW THEM MY CRAWFISH

<CindyC> those blades bend so easily janet

<phyl> lol jam

<Judy> lol

<Jambalaya> PUT THE MICA POWDERS ON, AND BAKE

<Janet> i just measured mine and it's perfect

<Jambalaya> THEN FINISH THE BACK JUST LIKE THE SMALLER ONES

* Janet is not as stupid as she looks

<phyl> lol

<Jambalaya> LOL, JANET

<stampverb> got out the calipers and micrometer, Janet? <g>

<Jambalaya> OK, ANY QUESTIONS??

<Janet> of course. it's certifiably perfect

<stubby> i am quiet because i want to keep my pin and i want another one with dangles

<Janet> Where do I buy this wonder stamp?

<phyl> I am certifiable

<Seesa> (Janet doesnt mention she is certifiable too)

<Jambalaya> FROM STUBBY STAMPERS!!

<Janet> (this is also true)

<stubby> http://www.cyberstampers.com/convention/stubbystampers/

<Janet> There's another round one the same size that makes wonderful pins too

<Janet> for those who can never buy just one

<Jambalaya> YEP, I JUST GOT HOOKED ON THIS ONE

<CindyC> #3608?

<stubby> it is #3606 for $4.00 mounted and $2.00 unmounted

<ash> 3606?

<CindyC> http://www.stubbystampers.com/new.html

<stubby> no cindy!!!!

<phyl> nice price

<Jambalaya> THERE ARE LOTS OF SQUARE STAMPS THIS THEORY WOULD WORK WITH TOO

<CindyC> it would make a lovely pin too

<CindyC> that's what i meant

<stubby> 3-6-0-6

<LLB> I'm half dead. Good night all.

<cak> (and straight is easier than round to trim)

<CindyC> so neuvo

<stubby> nite llb

<stampverb> Jam, I really love your use of subtle colors--your examples show how stylish it can be to use a single design and closely-related colors--excellent designs!

<Jambalaya> THE STAMP I USED IS 3608 BUT 3608 IS VERY SIMILAR IN SHAPE

<CindyC> lol

<stubby> what a nice sophistocated critique jam,that was good verb

<Jambalaya> TY VERB

<Janet> and that other one, the three circles one? that is gorgeous in clay

<Scout> I love them both. Stubby is a good stamper to deal with.

<Jambalaya> OH AND THE BEADS

<Janet> and the convention special?

<phyl> what is the size of that stamp Jam?

<Janet> 20 percent off, and the price marked is the mounted price, UMs are half that

<Jambalaya> TO FINISH, JUST USED 26 GUAGE WIRE(KINDA THIN)

<Jambalaya> AND JUST HALF HITCH THE WIRE THROUGH THE HOLES

<Jambalaya> THEN STRING ASST GLASS BEADS

<Jambalaya> MAKE A LOOP AT THE END OF WIRE WITH A ROUND NOSE PLIERS

<stampverb> I never ever like irridescent beads--until now!

<Jambalaya> DONE

<stubby> and the judges special....all orders during the convention of $25.00 net have free shipping

<Jambalaya> QUESTIONS?

<phyl> what is the size of the stamp please?

<stampverb> ooo, thanks Stubby

<Janet> WOW!

<CindyC> stubby is the bestest

<ash> does the free shipping apply to Canada as well?

<stampverb> for the folks who asked earlier about the clay sticking to the rubber -- well, it happens sometimes, depending on clay brand and temperature of the room, etc--you may need a release agent occasionally

<Janet> I can spend $25 without even blinking an eye

<stubby> ty

<Janet> although with 20 percent off it takes me about 20 percent longer.

<stampverb> lol Janet

<Seesa> What do you use as a release agent?

<Jambalaya> PHYL, UM IMAGE IS ABOUT 1.5"

<stubby> lol

<phyl> thanks jam nice one

<stampverb> Seesa, I usually use cornstarch, brushed very lightly on the rubber or the clay surface

<CindyC> jenmist Buy me some too will you?

<Seesa> Gotcha

<CindyC> Janet Buy me some too will you?

<stubby> excellent class jam, you make our stamps shine

<MomCat> Beautiful pins, great class, Jams

<Janet> everybody buy cindy one stamp with their order<g>

* Seesa still wants to be adopted by Janet

<phyl> wonderful wonderful work

<stampverb> some folks like using Armorall, or water (depending on clay brand)

<phyl> really?

<phyl> facinating

<Janet> LOL you're adopted. I need to be kept in my old age.

<CindyC> yea what janet said

<Seesa> LOL well, i am well versed in taking care of old people ;p
