Whats happening?

[fantail]

It still pokes through but the single wire I find more slippery - ok that doesn't sound right
what I mean is the clay sticks better if its twisty of course you can use masking tape if the wire is thicker but the masking tape doesn't grip when I try to wrap it around fine wire
Let me know if you have better luck Blue

[Donna]

;D Hi, I'm bored with my domestic chores

The hands looked heaps better at 1.30am this morning, than they do in the light of day..Lol.. so I take back what I said about them being nearly finished..
I had stashed away a tutorial on making individual nails using translucent polymer clay over a knitting needle .. so just to make myself crazy..I am going to be giving that a go too.

And Blue..I hope you noticed the "NOT" after my comment about the micro BJD, no holding me to that one.. I'm looking forward to everyone else's mini sculpting though..

Back to boring... ;D

[fantail]

Have fun experimenting with he fingernails
Ah I know the feeling I have often sculpted something thought it looked good untill the next day
But I'm sure you will get it perfect ;D

[blue]

Have a lovely day ahead ladies. All interesting sounding projects in-between other events at this time of the year a.

pretty busy here with half a thousand different things and none of them are clay ; ) .

take good care

xR

[Donna]

Just a quick "hi" to you all.

Same here Blue.. running around frantically the last few days. Nearly finished Xmas shopping, yay!! ...and 3/4 finished painting one coat in kitchen & dining room.. Stupid time to paint, I know.
No clay time for me either, sadly.

Hope all is well with you all...
;D

[fantail]

The minibeast wasn't siting right so I had to squish him a bit and will have to redo his legs

[Donna]

Oh, sorry you had to squish little beastie about... hope all goes well with his new legs..

[fantail]

It's all part of the process though its was the leg that looked the best that was squished the most

[Donna]

Hi.
I had a power outage today.. from 9am and finally back on at 3.20pm, had to go out in this savage weather coz it was so yuck being here with no power- dark & dismal. It's a real eye-opener to how much we rely on power when you don't have it..

Did you get to fixing up little beasties legs yet fantail?

I've really missed sculpting through this busy time, especially as I'd finally found the things I needed. I'll try to make some time for it real soon.

Hope all is well.. ;D

[fantail]

Its as if I've lost the image of what I had in mind for the leg and the drawing didn't capture it atleast its not just wire any more

[blue]

Awwwwwwwww tails
i have every inch of confidence that you will get mini beast *Just so*
its just a time thing. it is a fantastic little piece and you will get it whipped into shape in no time flat .

Donna. love painting, glad your almost done tho i bet it looks fantastic. a new coat of paints better than a new dress so to speak. well done you. almost there now tho and youll be able to get all sorted back into place.

Anubis......where for art thine

Bll


we went out and did a little christmas shopping yesterday. dont think we will bother again till after christmas. mental cases pushing in cars driving rude and pushy urg its christmas for heavens sakes everyone seems so freaking depressed. urg.

SNORT when biddies go bad just back away people BACK AWAY !!! if you intervene youll get a royal telling off SNORT>!

Merry Christmas To My Female Friends



If I were ol’ Santa, you know what I’d do

I’d dump silly gifts that are given to you

And deliver some things just inside your front door

Things you have lost, but treasured before.

I’d give you back all your maidenly vigor,

And to go along with it, a neat tiny figure.

Then restore the old color that once graced your hair

Before rinses and bleaches took residence there.

I’d bring back the shape with which you were gifted

So things now suspended need not be uplifted.

I’d draw in your tummy and smooth down your back

Till you’d be a dream in those tight fitting slacks.

I’d remove all your wrinkles and leave only one chin

So you wouldn’t spend hours rubbing grease on your skin.

You’d never have flashes or queer dizzy spells,

And you wouldn’t hear noises like ringing of bells.

No sore aching feet and no corns on your toes.

No searching for spectacles when they’re right on your nose.

Not a shot would you take in your arm, hip or fanny,

From a doctor who thinks you’re a nervous old granny.

You’d never have a headache, so no pills would you take.

And no heating pad needed since your muscles won’t ache.

Yes, if I were Santa, you’d never look stupid,

You’d be a cute little chick with the romance of a cupid.

I’d give a lift to your heart when those wolves start to whistle,

And the joys of your heart would be light as a thistle.

But alas! I’m not Santa. I’m simply just me,

The matronest of matrons you ever did see.

I wish I could tell you all the symptoms I’ve got,

But I’m due at my doctor’s for an estrogen shot.

Even though we’ve grown older, this wish is sincere,

Merry Christmas to you and a Happy New Year.

[Donna]

;D ;D ;D HAHAHA !!! Thanks Bll, what a great start to the morning.

Blue, the vision of the bickering biddies LOL.. wish I was there, I would have loved that.. The warehouse used to sell a set of 2 old biddies with walking frames, you wound them up and they had a 'race', crack-up.. I really wanted to buy them. Real life version would have been sssooooo funny.

No stress for me, I avoid busy times, drive in the outskirts, don't go to the malls, and buy on-line ;D otherwise I would be one of those biddies out there, haha. Last shopping day for me today, only a couple of 'hard-ones' to buy for now.. Yay!!

All the best to you fantail, you'll get it right

Anubis, are you in your cave, avoiding all stress and the one-armed man? Please can we see your pixie house, please...

Have a fantastic day...

[fantail]

Hehe haha lol
All of this already started two weeks ago and the muggy weather doesn't help

Thank you for the wishes- Donna the image- Blue and the jokes- Bll

Have a good day

[blue]

xR

[fantail]

hehe impressive I wouldn't take you on in a food fight Blue
sometimes you get some of the mix on you even if the bowl is deep

Grinning from ear to ear he he ;D Thank you very much Donna it is too cute
I felt like a kid again going through layers to the beautiful treat inside and what a surprise
Now the question is: do I fit a bird in it or a fairy? hehehe
I like your personalized notepaper too

[BLL]

hey, i hope you saw me dancing with Moe, too!
Got most of xmas shopping done today. yay. Just 2 biggies to buy when the recipients tell us what they want! Best idea we ever had was to stop buying something for everyone and start pulling names from a 'hat'. Used to spend about $30-$40 on each of ten adults on my side of family. Now we have one each to buy for and they get a decent $100 pressie instead. And we save about $150 and many many hours wandering the shops. still ... I was over it by 1pm. Been wrapping furiously. Just came online to learn how to make a good bow.

[blue]

yer i think a lot of family's have done secret Santa or joke pressys this year, costs are way outta hand all round this year for a lot of folks.

wired ribbon makes for easy pressy bows Bll. most $2 shops stock it.


have a lovely weekend ladies




xR

[Donna]

for Fantail ;D. Hey did you finish the little dragon for your baby nephew?

Bll I saw the video, but didn't realise it was you and Moe. Watched it again, Lol, hilarious- made me laugh hard.. ;D

Didn't manage to see anything for the 'hard to buy for', ie nephews 17 & 21 and my brother, so looks like car mags, vouchers & chocs for them. I do manage to find AND buy things for ME though, not a good idea being out shopping every day, LOL Today it was a gorgeous top with sparkly dragonflies.

Blue I was close to Geoffs today and called in. They had large, ornate ceramic crosses for only $2.95. New in, not smoke stock. They are cool, especially for that price.. I bought one to give and one for MEEEE!!!!

Off to wrap pressies...

[fantail]

I have two threads to tie off and one bit to pull in - I had to do some needle sculpting on his face cause I wasn't entirely happy but he is just about done when the sun comes out again I will try to take some photos

Bll and Moe video was hilarious
Boys are hard to buy for

[BLL]

new pics, YAY!
ur right blue, the wired ribbon is so much easier to use than the other stuff. Unfortunately I'm trying to use up some of my reclaimed stash and most of it is floppy soft and slippery. Ah well.
This page was all I needed: hubpages.com/hub/How-to-make-a-Bow-out-of-Ribbon

[Donna]

Would love to see photos of him, I hope the sun comes out over your side...

You gotta love the internet, anything you want to know..its there!!

Maybe I'll put a bow on my SIL's pressie..

Have a great day.. I'll keep checking in for photos

[fantail]

No Sun and its going to be a busy day, though you never know
