Ravensdale! by
[email protected]
It's been such a long time since I poked in here. Life kinda took
over, but I'm baa--ack!. (Some of you may know me from other venues.)
Anyhoo, I'm wondering how many of you are planning on coming out to
Washington for Ravensdale this Summer? I'm really looking forward to
getting together...

You might want to try a "bead roller", they are plastic doohickeys you
use to roll a bead shape, they come with holes that you use to guide a
pin through, since it is still in the shaped bead trough it doesn't
distort. They make a few different shape beads.
I am using canes but only abstract...

Pasta machine question by
mermaidscove_com
When I use my pasta machine to make a striped cane, first making sheets
of color then stacking them, when I run a stack of four through the
pasta machine the sheets seperate at the top and crawl off in opposite
directions like a Y. Any idea what I am doing wrong? Seems to happen no
matter how...

Barbara Forbes-Lyons
No, I don't always use canes for my beads. Sometimes I use solid colors
and make swirlies, or scrap clay and cover with mica powders or
paints...or use inclusions in translucent clay...or...lol.
As far as holes go, it takes practice. I rarely pre-drill my beads
before baking. I find it easier to...

New here and new to clay by
mermaidscove_com
Hi,

artistic! :)
You only need to sand, polish or seal if you want to. Sealing is
considered a good idea if you use metallic powders or leafing foils but
not needed with straight clay. If you sand and polish you get a smooth
shiny...

Sarajane Helm
we've all got a bunch, and thats just what we're admitting to......
sometimes they coalesce and come together, particularly when others are
