<Wanda> PIC #1
<Wanda> THE PAPER I'VE USED FOR THE INSIDE OF THE PURSE IS UTILITY GRADE MASKING PAPER
<Wanda> I GOT IT AT MENARDS
<Wanda> SOME PEOPLE REFER TO IT AS UNGLUED PAINTERS MASK PAPER
<Wanda> IT'S THE SAME COLOR AS A PAPER GROCERY SACK
<Wanda> IT COMES IN A ROLL THAT IS 6" WIDE
<Tarotmama> Q?
<Judy> is it the same weight?
<Wanda> NO, IT'S MUCH LIGHTER WEIGHT

<Tarotmama> no]please continue
<Judy> http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=5486963&uid=606639
<Wanda> HI MILLIE WE ARE ON PIC #1
<Wanda> I PAINTED THE PIECE WITH LUMIERE METALLIC GOLD - I RUBBED IT ON VERY THIN WITH A SPONGE
<Wanda> THEN STAMPED USING STAZON BLAZING RED
<Wanda> AND THEN WADDED UP A PIECE OF PLASTIC WRAP AND DABBED ON STAZON JET BLACK
<Wanda> I PAINTED BOTH SIDES WITH THE GOLD BUT ONLY STAMPED ONE SIDE
<Wanda> IT'S UP TO THE INDIVIDUAL WHETHER YOU WANT STAMPING ON BOTH SIDES OR NOT
<Wanda> PIC #2
<Wanda> ACCORDION FOLD THE PAPER INTO 6 SECTIONS
<Wanda> IF YOU HAVE YOUR PIECE OF PAPER AND ARE FOLDING ALONG DO THIS
<Wanda> MILLIE, IF YOU'D LIKE TO FOLD ALONG GRAB A PIECE OF COPY PAPER AND CUT IT IN HALF THE LONG WAY SO IT'S STILL 11" LONG
<millie> thank you , i will do that now
<Tarotmama> how do we do the folding?
<Wanda> I WOULD FOLD IT IN HALF FIRST
<Wanda> THEN SINCE IT'S JUST PRACTICE I WOULD GET THE THIRDS CLOSE BUT FOR A REAL PROJECT I WOULD MEASURE AND MAKE A LITTLE SCORE MARK TO FOLD THE SECTIONS
<Wanda> ACCORDION FOLDED INTO 6 SECTIONS MEANS WE WILL HAVE 3 POCKETS IN OUR PURSE BUT YOU COULD OF COURSE MAKE AS MANY AS YOU WANTED
<Judy> http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=5486963&uid=606639
<Wanda> YOU WOULD JUST NEED 2 SECTIONS FOR EACH POCKET
<Wanda> ARE WE READY TO MOVE ON
<Wanda> HI PATYWAK
<Patywak> Hi...I flunked this class before. LOL
<Patywak> I'll BBL have fun
<Wanda> YOU CAN DO IT!!! DON'T GIVE UP :-)
<cak> so you could fold it into any number of folds as long as it's an even number? (and you keep your paper long enough to get a nice deep pocket?)
<deb> lol

<cak> close enough
<Tarotmama> yes
<Maren> yes
<millie> ok
<Wanda> LAY YOUR ACCORDION FOLDED PIECE SO THAT THE FIRST MOUNTAIN FOLD IS TO YOUR RIGHT
<Wanda> THE OPEN END OF THE PAPER WOULD BE TO YOUR LEFT
<Wanda> TAKE THE TOP RIGHT CORNER AND FOLD IT ALMOST TO THE LEFT EDGE
<Wanda> THEN REPEAT WITH THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER

<Wanda> #6
<cak> yeah ( or close enough--I'm playing)
<Wanda> UNFOLD YOUR PAPER
<Wanda> YOU WILL NOTICE YOU HAVE TRIANGLE AREAS ACROSS THE TOP AND BOTTOM
<Wanda> ONE SIDE OF THE TRIANGLE IS A VALLEY FOLD AND THE OTHER IS A MOUNTAIN FOLD
<Wanda> WE WANT TO MAKE THEM BOTH MOUNTAIN FOLDS AND THE FOLD THAT GOES THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE TRIANGLE NEEDS TO BE A VALLEY FOLD
<Wanda> DID THAT MAKE SENSE?
<Maren> yes
<Wanda> GOOD :-)
<Wanda> I KNOW IT TAKES A LITTLE BIT OF TIME TO FIX THOSE FOLDS
<Judy> http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=5486963&uid=606639
<Wanda> HI CHRYSS
<Judy> click on that link to see class page, Chryss

<Maren> i think i got #6 done
<cak> Wanda, I love that you have both pictures and instructions. really helpful for those of us who have to go back and fix our mistakes
<Judy> http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=5486963&uid=606639
<Wanda> #7 PIC SHOWS WHAT THE PIECE WOULD LOOK LIKE IF YOU TURNED IT OVER AFTER FIXING ALL THE FOLDS
<Wanda> I TRY TO MAKE IT EASY FOR EVERYONE, CAK :-)
<Wanda> ALSO PEOPLE CAN GO BACK LATER IF THEY FORGET TOO
<cak> (you know me well)
<Judy> still have my sample from the other night to refer to
<Wanda> GOOD
<Wanda> ARE WE READY FOR #8
<Maren> yes
<Wanda> AFTER ALL THE FOLDS ARE FIXED THEN FOLD IT BACK TOGETHER AND ONCE AGAIN LAY IT IN FRONT OF YOU WITH THE FIRST MOUNTAIN FOLD TO YOUR RIGHT
<Judy> wb, chryss
<Wanda> THE LONG POINTS WOULD BE TO YOUR LEFT
<Judy> http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=5486963&uid=606639
<Judy> http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=5486963&uid=606639
<Wanda> WE ARE FOLDING THE FIRST LONG POINTS TO THE MIDDLE
<Judy> http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=5486963&uid=606639
<Wanda> WE ARE NOT OVERLAPPING THE POINTS BUT ONLY HAVING THEM COME TOGETHER
<Chryss> i got lost...how do i see things
<Judy> http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=5486963&uid=606639
<Wanda> THE PICTURE IS AN ILLUSION BECAUSE THE PAPER KIND OF POPPED UP WHEN I LET GO OF IT TO TAKE THE PICTURE
<Judy> either double click on that or right click and choose "open in a new browser"
<Wanda> #9
<Wanda> TURN THAT SECTION TO YOUR LEFT AND IT SHOULD LOOK LIKE THE #9 PIC
<Wanda> #10
<Wanda> FOLD THE TOP POINT DOWN AND THE BOTTOM POINT UP
<Wanda> I KEEP THE MIDDLE SEEMS LINED UP AND THEN I KNOW I'M FOLDING STRAIGHT
<deb> one sec
<Wanda> K
<Judy> http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=5486963&uid=606639
<Wanda> HI JUSTWRITE
<justwrite> hi
<Wanda> IS EVERYONE GETTING THAT?
<justwrite> yes
<Judy> Chryss - did the link work for you this time?
<cak> yep!
<Wanda> GOOD
<deb> yep
<justwrite> very nice
<Scout> This is where I got to before I got lost.
<Judy> http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=5486963&uid=606639
<Wanda> TY
<Wanda> YOU'LL GET IT THIS TIME SCOUT
<Wanda> AFTER FOLDING THOSE POINTS YOU TURN THE SECTION TO THE LEFT AND DO THE NEXT ONES
<Wanda> CONTINUE THROUGH AND THE LAST 2 POINTS ARE FOLD ON THE BACK
<Wanda> THAT WOULD BE PIC #11
<Wanda> THEN YOU CAN PICK IT UP AND YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SEE THE POCKETS
<Chryss> i have a gallery separate square...showing necklace purse .right
<Judy> right!
<Scout> Ok, on #8, you would have one side that looks like this and if flipped over, the other side looks the same?
<Judy> http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=5486963&uid=606639
<Wanda> YES, THE FRONT AND BACK ARE THE SAME AND BOTH NEED THE POINTS FOLDED TO THE MIDDLE
<Scout> OK
<Chryss> thank you judy
<Judy> you are welcome!
<Wanda> #12 IS A PIC FROM THE TOP WITH THE POCKETS OPEN
<Wanda> #13 IS A PIC FROM THE SIDE WITH THE POCKETS OPEN
<Wanda> DOES EVERYONE HAVE IT?
<Judy> Chryss - click on small pix to see larger ones
<Dorothy> Yes Wanda
<Maren> yes, it worked - a little wonky from not measuring, though
<Wanda> THAT'S OK, MAREN, WE ARE JUST GOING FOR THE BASIC FOLD RIGHT NOW
<Chryss> thanks again judy...what size is this purse so I can try and catch up?
<Wanda> YOU KNOW YOU CAN DO IT!!!
<Wanda> CHRYSS, THERE ARE DIRECTIONS WRITTEN WITH EACH PICTURE
<Wanda> WHEN YOU CLICK ON THE SMALL PICTURE A LARGE ON WILL COME UP AND YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SEE THE DIRECTIONS
<Judy> pratice piece was 4 1/4 x 11 inches
<Chryss> bck to that window....i will catch on
<Maren> they are great directions, Wanda
<Wanda> TY, MAREN
<Wanda> CAK, DID YOU GET IT?
<cak> yep!
<Tarotmama> me too
<Wanda> ISIS, DID YOU GET IT?
<Wanda> YAY!!
<Tarotmama> lolo
<Wanda> SCOUT, DO YOU HAVE IT?
<Tarotmama> arigato
<cak> (mine's a more than a little wonky 'cause I'm playing with different starting dimensions--very cool)
<Scout> great silence issues from the Scout's house!
<Judy> lol, Scout - need help?
<Wanda> WHAT HAPPENED SCOUT
<Scout> oh, wait, turned it another way and think i've got it
<Wanda> GOOD
<Judy> yayyy!
<Maren> YAY! everyone did it
<Scout> yes, victory is mine
<cak> alright Scout!!
<Wanda> YEE-HAW
<cak> I just love a good breakthrough, don't you?
<justwrite> how did you get the even 6 folds on #2?
<Wanda> I MEASURED AND MADE LITTLE SCORE MARKS TO FOLD ON
<Scout> Now.....if I can do it a 2nd time......
<justwrite> k, thought there was some secret folding way
<Wanda> YOU CAN, SCOUT!!!
<deb> by GEORGE I think she's got it
<Scout> Can just see me teaching this to a bunch of jr. high Girl Scouts whoooo!
<Wanda> DEPENDS ON THE NUMBER OF SECTIONS - SOMETIMES YOU CAN JUST KEEP FOLDING IN HALF
<Tarotmama> how many pockets are we able to fold, wanda?
<Wanda> IT COULD BE DONE, SCOUT
<cak> They'd love it Scout
<Wanda> IT'S REALLY UP TO YOU, ISIS
<cak> (but you'd better know it pretty well or they'll eat you alive)
<deb> lol
<Wanda> WITH THE INSIDE DONE THEN WE NEED TO MAKE AN OUTSIDE
<Scout> Guess if I could teach them macrame, friendly plastic and how to win the Gold Award....
<Wanda> I USED LIGHT WEIGHT CARDBOARD
<cak> (that's the spirit!)
<cak> like a cereal box?
<Judy> they would love these little necklaces, Scout!
<Wanda> #14 SHOWS THE DIMENSIONS FOR THE SIZE I MADE - IF YOU MAKE A DIFFERENT SIZE YOU WILL THEN, OF COURSE, NEED TO ADJUST YOUR OUTSIDE SIZE
<Wanda> YES, CAK, THAT WOULD WORK
<Wanda> OR THE BACK OF A PAD OF PAPER
<Wanda> I DECIDED TO USE RED MULBERRY FOR THIS ONE SO I COATED THE CARDBOARD WITH WHITE GESSO SO THE MULBERRY PAPER WOULD STAY BRIGHTER
<Wanda> I CUT A PIECE OF MULBERRY PAPER A LITTLE BIGGER THAN THE CARDBOARD, GLUED IT TO ONE SIDE, MITERED THE CORNERS, AND GLUED THE TABS TO THE OTHER SIDE
<cak> that is such a good idea. So simple, but so effective
<cak> (the gesso)
<Wanda> THEN I MEASURED, MARKED, AND USED AN AWL TO MAKE HOLES FOR SEWING ON FRINGE
<Wanda> TY
<Wanda> AFTER SEWING THE FRINGE ON THEN I GLUED ANOTHER PIECE OF MULBERRY PAPER OVER THAT SIDE TO FINISH COVERING THE CARDBOARD AND IT ALSO COVERED MY THREADS
<Wanda> FOR THE CORDING, I PUNCHED 1/8" HOLES AND SET EYELETS
<Judy> Wanda - did you make the fringe or buy it already made?
<Wanda> I MADE IT
<Wanda> SEWED IT DIRECTLY INTO THE PURSE
<Scout> Man, I love this thingie. It is soooo cute
<Judy> that's a lot of work!
<Wanda> IN PIC #15 YOU CAN SEE THE THREADS BEFORE I COVERED IT WITH MULBERRY PAPER
<Wanda> IT REALLY ISN'T THAT BAD, JUDY
* Judy is beading impaired
<Wanda> YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE FRINGE
<Scout> Hey, Jud, I'll drive up to Escondido and we can do a bunch of them!
<Wanda> IF YOU GO DOWN TO THE BOTTOM I HAVE ANOTHER SAMPLE WITH NO FRINGE
<Judy> Escondido? Why there?
<Scout> Arent you in Escondido or is my senilty kicking in again?
<Wanda> YOU CAN CHOOSE TO MAKE TAGS TO GO INSIDE IF YOU'D LIKE
<Judy> Clairmont is closer!
<Scout> Duh!
<Tarotmama> let's let wanda finsh
<cak> these pockets are open enough to put all kinds of things in there!
<Judy> k
<Scout> k
<Tarotmama> continue wanda
<Wanda> YES, CAK, THERE IS ROOM
<Scout> The tag idea is so neat
<Wanda> IF YOU MOVE DOWN A FEW PICS YOU CAN SEE THE PURSE ALL TOGETHER BUT OPENED
<Wanda> FROM A COUPLE DIFFERENT ANGLES
<cak> the tags enclosures for a gift (carry the message you want to convey)
<Wanda> WE ARE ALMOST OUT OF TIME
<Wanda> ANY QUESTIONS??
<Wanda> YES, CAK
<cak> not from me--just lots of excitement. I just love this thing!
<Scout> Tarot could have fun filling with punched out confetti!
<cak> lol
<Wanda> LOL
<Tarotmama> the 'p' word?
<Tarotmama> you used the p word!
* Tarotmama does a happy dance!
<Tarotmama> and quivers
<Scout> Elise hangs head in shame...the p word
<Tarotmama> lol

* Wanda IS BLUSHING
<Chryss> thanks for being patient with me
<Wanda> YW
<Wanda> ISIS, I DID ANY STAMPING I WANTED ON THE COVER FIRST AND THEN ADHERED THE INSIDE
