What a fantastic day that'll be.. ;D and.. oh for the invention of a teleporter... I'm looking forward to meeting you Fantail, and anyone else, so much fun.. I only get to 10mins with the unsuspecting who make the mistake of asking me what I'm up to these days... Haha. I was pleased to inform my family that I'm not as mad as they think, that there are others like me out there...  I'll be forever grateful to Bll for mentioning this forum on Trademe, and thereby starting me on this crazy journey with you all. I'm pleased your migraine has eased off Blue... and glad the baby legs are coming along, I thought they were perfect anyway. I'm off to play with my treasures again... ;D and Blue the marionettes are happier with the sanding sponges rather than the grinding tools I was subjecting them to.. and I put pink pearlex on their lips and eyelashes on (temporarily) to see what they looked like,hehe I can't wait to hear from Anubis... *edited coz I had more to say... |

Morning all... Well this old biddy would be a'wiggling if you put on a Disturbed CD, one of my fav's... Westy bogan LOL. Yep same tracks all day would've sent me mental. So glad it went well otherwise, hope it's even better today for you... Blue those eyelashes with the clear thread will be awesome, providing I do a neat glue job... they will look so real. Lovely without the thick black strip. Well for this get-together I'll make sure I don't have a school run then... Hehe..I don't wanna miss a thing... I need to get moving with these girls, I have to fix the legs really. You think you got probs with legs Blue, you would roll your eyes at these sticks with clay on  LOL...and EYEHOOKS for knees and elbows Hehehehe... Enjoy your day everyone ;D |

LAFF MY BUTT OFF !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
years ago in a last life where i actually had a normal job in a shop. my boss was addicted to Christmas charols ( which i despise with a passion) i swear to god i must have heard snoopys christmas and that red barron crud a good 800 times.......... to the stage i was ready to turn this mild mannered individual into a kamakazi rage and smash that thang rip that tape out and send it flying across the mall. unfortunately the mall music was just as bad FACEPALM you can glaze off from it for only so long...... we are feeling for ya Anubis
well the oven is heating up and this clay gets its last bake....... I just cant do any more to them now. its really just the smallest fill lines and such but they will show in silicone and want to get the best finish possible. urg URG almost there alllllllllmost.
an No Donna i wouldn't laff at your stick legs and spindle hoops Donna dont worry. good grief youve seen my room with limbs on sticks, chopped off faces hands and feet and naked doll parts hanging round the place. nothing can shock me now.....NOTHING Im actually looking forward to watching the progress like the rest of us. sitting like a kid with big eyes waiting for the next installment... I think what your doing is a really cool idea and im sure your girls will just look fab by the time youve thrown yoru magic into them.
its not always just about the sculpting is it. there is carving, sanding the engineering and structuring etc inventing colourings etc etc etc
anyhow........... any time tails is perfectly fine honestly. Im just stoked to be able to have you over here to start with : ) GRIN
gotta dash

Hope the bake went well Blue... LOL at the Christmas carols, not for me either..  At the worst job I EVER had they played opera on the radio all day, no offence if you like it..but I HATE it aaarrrgh..I was only there a few weeks!!!! I've been weeding today, I thought you might like to see some photo of my Hippeastrums..I beat the snails to them this year...  I have to find a way to cover the eye-screw hinges on the marionettes.. which will still allow them to move...hmmm, theres not many images etc on the web and most a wooden. I found these ones, they're well done... amcreatures.webs.com/marionettespage2.htmsee how the legs are stumpy though, I was contrary and mine look like daddy-long-legs.. Anyway I need to keep looking for a way..yeah Blue it's not a straightforward process is it, off to scout the web..  |

OMG i wish id known about TLS for the groves etc before it would have saved me hundreds of hours of work......... ( runs off to the studio to swear really really realllly loudly ) but i shall do that next time. she only bakes it for ten minutes i though that stuff needed 30 minutes cook time...........good grief. i needa do some homework fast. thank you soooooooooo so much tails. you have no idea how grateful i am. ive finished the legs painting etc just need to cure paint...... and there is one major problem. one shin is 10mm longer than the other CRYS !!!!! so one leg will have to be for the next limb set. omg OMG how did i get them so wrong........CRY !!! facepalm I have thrown hands in air and left the studio for the day. Donna the hippys are beautiful what a gorgeous colour. and what a gorgeous garden to. lucky you... : ) those puppets look so fab wow. dont they make the brain explode into all manner of oooooooooo and rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr im no help with the knees tho gorgeous youll invent the perfect way for them tho im sure. had a quickie play with the new lashes......yup ill have to get some more. the thread is quite strong on them to. prob is they only come in dark butttttttttt ill keep a looking. otherwise the reborning lashes on the clear thread are around $5 a pair. ouch. as for disturbed. david is MINE all MINE i tell you...........MINE and im not sure im ready to share him yet either. hope you had a fabulous day anubis and all things went interestingly xR |

sounds like we're all suffering from something or other. Thought I was over the throat infection and here it is back again. Horrible night last night, first one through the doors @ doc this morning. 10 day course of antibiotics this time. Don't worry I got my probiotics 2. Been moping around all day. Can't even comfort eat! |

That's terrible Bll, Hope your through heals up beautifully or you might just get your bad throat record to have the tonsils removed
I agree those flowers are beautiful
Sorry I hadn't shared the tip earlier Blue, just thought of it. I think she uses such a little amount of TLS that it doesn't take long to set- not sure if its diluted and I have no Idea what the finish is like or if liquid Fimo will also work as I know it sets softer then normal polymer clay - slightly rubbery
I won't be sure if its the best cure for scratches in clay till I've tried it

Evening all... Bll I'm sad to hear you are suffering again, so unfair. The only consolation is you can hopefully have them removed soon. All the best for a quick recovery this time  Oh Blue I cant believe those legs.. Those lashes are expensive, (and you gave them to me) they really are beautiful though. Your garden is gorgeous.. You should see Blues roses..sigh The hippys are on show for such a short time and usually the mongrel snails get them, did you notice my little cat Levi hiding in one of them.. How did the day go today Anubis? I must buy some TLS 'Night x |

Well thats another one done and dusted Not to bad of a weekend not the best but ok. On Saturday I had a friend bring me a flask of freshly made real cappuccino ( she made it and brought it down before opening the shop ) Then I had the ones who have started a collection of my pixies come in and get there new friends...always nice to see and a bit of a head swell if I do say so myself. ;D Today was very slow not alot of people buying but then my stuff is not really the norm for this market  Then I was talking to a very nice tiger about starting an alternative market so we decided that we should look into this and get the muso's involved and create a market more suited to us non normals........  ............. did you know that it is quite hard to hold a serious conversation with a person who has their face and arms painted like a tiger with bright white pink and purple hair, was most interesting. The hair didnt phase me Iv had that myself a few times it was the face paint keep thinking of TIGGER. LOL ( She has a face painting stall and is very good with alot of arty connections.... handy ) And yes they played the same 7 song cd but today one of the stall holders brought her pet magpie who love to sing the tune to happy birthday. Not the whole song just half of it over and over and over. Then I got another coffee delivery was so nice...... Then I had two ladies fighting over the red belly dancer nether had the money on them so it was a race to go to an atm and back again this was at 3.15 the market closed at 4. Happy to say that the belly dancer now has a new home. Was an interesting day if not overly financial. |

biddys scrapping over the belly dancer
ROFLMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
hilarious.
so tigers' music; magpies. scraps, sounds like a typical day in the mad house HAHA well done you well done.
bet yoru glad its over now you can throw up yoru feet for a tad''
NCEA starting today oh joy. best of luck to all the kids today
Bll awwwwwwwwwwwwww honey get well soon.
huggs get well or else. x
tails i think your right about the finish consistency ( been thinking on this half the night) i have used it to apply hair before.and it usually goes a tad shiny it would make a different painting serfice so maybe thinned and applied very fine it would be ok for moulding but i dotn know how the genesis would take to it. will have to give it a go anyhow . ill give it a whirl on this next limb set and see.
need to do some gardening now the roses are up but the best is yet to come and if i want to see them all pretty id best remove the cooch grass and numerous weeds fast. oops. usually leave it till the spring iris have died down then go nato on the weeds for summer.
have some non clay things to get threw today...... how boring
and the weather sux.
sulk.
have a fabulous one ladies catch you latters

Good morning all... Hilarious times at the market Anubis LOL LOL. Great idea to start your own-style market, especially before Xmas. Your dolls would make the perfect presents for all ages, I don't think too many are thinking Xmas at this stage. It's wonderful you are developing a client-base of collectors too. ;D Thinking of you Bll... Fantail what are you working on at the mo'? Blue all the best to your two for their NCEA exams.. Thankfully Jesse is only year 10, so next year for him..just as well with his broken hand..aaaannnnd he came home last night from his trip away with a major stomach bug/food poisoning. So I've been up ALL night with him..eeewwww!!! Don't know what this Zombie will get up to today, hopefully some clay-work... when the child sleeps... Have a great day everyone... |

I didn't notice the Levi till you mentioned him Donna, very cute
LOL that would make you proud to have two people fighting over your wonderful creation ;D
Sounded like a great day indeed
BLue will 1.30pm -3.30pm be ok
What do we bring? Will it just be a chat or do you think we will get time to play with clay?
So many questions
Hope you do get some time off from the non-creative stuff

Blue..I looked up TLS and Genesis combo for you... It mentions using these in combination on Glass Attic and Katherine Dewey uses the two together. Polymer clay express suggests mixing TLS with flesh coloured genesis together to create a 'slip' for filling joins cracks etc... sounds like another experiment coming up... |

Tails... any time is great. and usually one would get a blob of clay chucked in their hot little hands at some stage whilst in the bat cave. play my pretty or whatever tickles ya fancy just bring yourself and anything you wish and have some fun. But your more thank welcome to bring clay and play i dont mind one bit. maybe Donna can bring her puppets and we can oogle over them to Ive written to lindi hope it gets threw but if not and LINDY if you get on here doll WE WANT YOU !!! muhahahaha todays non clay time is done and dusted and OMG what a boreing world it is out there some days when one isnt looking at clay things or things to use with clay or.........everyones walking round with their heads down and mouths so sad....... CHEER UP PEOPLE ! just the one for ncea here today the other works, so there is quiet again at least. feeling a little better about the mismatched limbs today. ill get the other legs right....God help me. shucks. now the genesis has sunken in the colours looking a little.muddy buggerie it all. but im done with it......rar NEXT ! oh and thanks for that donna that actually makes better seance to mix the two tls and g together ... yer baby its just the soft ridges from filling and the odd scratch that runs deep that i try and hide/fill/sand out rarrrrrrrr maybe this way it will give it a more polished finish off the batt. i just cant do it yet first round. anyhowzzzzzz off to find a pirate ship......... and maybe start a leg or two ; ) have a wonderful day ladies xR |

;D I'm back...coz I'm bored with my RL.. I had to go to the dairy for lemonade iceblocks for sick-kid, ironic that a Disturbed song came on the car radio... I'm so looking forward to our get-together ;D I dunno about bringing the marionettes tho'  maybe for some advice.. Will you be using public transport Fantail? If so maybe the train would be the better option.. Anyway back to RL..we need food... I'll be back later to show you another BRILLIANT site I found.. |

Oh Please pretty please do bring your marionettes and anything clay or not that happens to jump in your bag on the way ; ) Donna we are all dieing to drool over them. seriously. and dont you worry on it we love her already and shes not even finished for heavens sakes... hope the boy heal up fast to poor thing. poor you to ; ) and tails......why is that.? we can inspect every single mm and cm of every part and waalaa on goes the paint and there is a crater there oh how do we miss them?. RARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR at divots and pits and holes and scratchy bits. DARN THEM TO HADES !!! i sometimes wonder if ill ever EVER be able to make anything 100% flawless of *bits* soft groan... it is goal 37 flawless finishes.

I thought about the bus stop near you- the bus only passes by every hour ;P 12.30 will be too early right, you probably want lunch first Blue. there are other bus stops further away but I'm not familiar with the area and have gotten lost going to places before even with a map in my hand - it going to be interesting enough getting off at the right stop Never traveled by train - how do you know when you get to the right stop? That's kind Blue but you need to be at home to welcome guest ;D - Hope you will all be there I really like the second link. Did the book arrive yet? |
