Yes, I like the new sign too!

LeChatNoir · Post by **LeChatNoir** » Sun Jan 30, 2005 2:25 pm

Ahhh... kinda like a medicine bag, but instead a medicine jar, hmm?

Martiansky · Post by **Martiansky** » Sun Jan 30, 2005 2:28 pm

You made that, Blue? Very cool! Have you ever tried to make chainmail?

They call it a "rock" pocket because they sometimes use a rock to make the form for the clay. They wrap the clay around the rock, bake it and then take the rock out.

Oh hey LeChat, Thanks for the note. It's nice to get a little more info. It's not my first choice for a job, but it's close and I don't have a car a the moment.

Yup! You can put anything you want into it....and make it any size shape!

M, I haven't tried making chain mail but I have made some jewlery, earings and necklaces with chains and beads.

LeChatNoir · Post by **LeChatNoir** » Sun Jan 30, 2005 2:33 pm

Oh, you bet, blue. Good luck to you on that... hope the right job finds you.

I like the rock pocket idea. But then I’m always interested in little vessels and containers. Do you make them with different colors of fimo, like all swirly or anything?

Martiansky · Post by **Martiansky** » Sun Jan 30, 2005 2:43 pm

Well, I haven't made any yet! hahaha! That's what I'm pondering! I guess I should just make one and see how it turns out. I found some pictures of many different beautiful designs!

blueniteowl · Post by **blueniteowl** » Sun Jan 30, 2005 2:43 pm

Thanks, but right now I need any job to find me. I can work on the right job later.

Alright, thats the third of time you've posted right before I post M. It's slightly creepy.

Martiansky · Post by **Martiansky** » Sun Jan 30, 2005 2:45 pm

Sorry, Blue!

LeChat...did you see my post yesterday about the cat door?

LeChatNoir · Post by **LeChatNoir** » Sun Jan 30, 2005 2:51 pm

Oh, yes I did actually... I remember glue on fingers. How’d that go? Get it done? I’m always appreciative of such gestures. Nice to have the ability to move around, don’t ya know. sometimes the door knobs are hard to reach and some places it's just not proper to *poof* in and out.

You should make one of those pockets and see how it does. I’d bet they’d be a blast to turn out

Martiansky · Post by **Martiansky** » Sun Jan 30, 2005 2:52 pm

Where'd that kitty go?

(M goes around looking for the cat.......spies a shape that always seems like it's nearby but disapeers before you get there)

Cats are always like that aren't they? You see them and then poof......they had to be somewhere 10 seconds ago!

(Sits back down in her chair in front of the fire)

OH, there you are LeChat!!

LeChatNoir · Post by **LeChatNoir** » Sun Jan 30, 2005 2:56 pm

slip in, slip out... it’s a skill worth cultivating.

Martiansky · Post by **Martiansky** » Sun Jan 30, 2005 2:59 pm

I got the door done..... then I put my cat outside the door...closed it and called her in. She sat on the outside, looked at the door like, "HEY! It's not open!" Then looked through the opening at me, I threw a treat towards the door and she came though it! WOOHOO! But then she looked back at the door like, "What the crap? OK" Now it's like a game, like she has a new hideout.

Yes, it is a skill to slip in and out! I'm a Leo, I should try to do that! I always find it amusing that cats can somehow manage to climb onto your lap and lay down like they were always there before you even know it!

blueniteowl · Post by **blueniteowl** » Sun Jan 30, 2005 3:01 pm

standing up and stretching

Well, I think perhaps I should shower and get dressed before dinner is ready. I'll be back later.

walks into fireplace

POOF!

LeChatNoir · Post by **LeChatNoir** » Sun Jan 30, 2005 3:02 pm

...like they were always there before you even know it!

uncanny, yes?

Speaking out of persona for a moment, I put a kitty door in the door that leads to the enclosed porch. My guys were a bit stand-offish at first, but now it's like a game... they come blasting in and out and hardly slow down.

Ok... speaking of slipping out, it’s chow time here and I’m going to go scare something up. Be back later, I reckon.

Until later, Ms. Sky...

Oh, and Blue... Your new thread?... good idea.

Martiansky · Post by **Martiansky** » Sun Jan 30, 2005 3:04 pm

See you both later!

Martiansky · Post by **Martiansky** » Sun Jan 30, 2005 3:41 pm

(M decides dinner sounds like a good idea and slips out the door to find something to eat)

Donita · Post by **Donita** » Sun Jan 30, 2005 3:49 pm

MSky, I am so impressed with the kitty door. I am always impressed when women build things. Women rock.

PS: I love power tools. No, you cannot borrow 'em.

Martiansky · Post by **Martiansky** » Sun Jan 30, 2005 3:53 pm

MUWAH HA HA!!
I have my own power tools.....I don't need to borrow!!
No not that kind!

Donita, are you the Fimo goddess?

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Sun Jan 30, 2005 3:55 pm

Hi Donita, Msky.

Either of you tending bar tonight?

Isotopia · Post by **Isotopia** » Sun Jan 30, 2005 3:56 pm

I'll have a daquiri please. Hold the Mayo.

Martiansky · Post by **Martiansky** » Sun Jan 30, 2005 3:57 pm

Well, I just walked back in myself....but I can get you something Sputnik. What do you want? Um, lemme rephrase....what would you like to drink? *winks*

Martiansky · Post by **Martiansky** » Sun Jan 30, 2005 3:58 pm

Hello, Isotopia! What kind of daquiri would you like? And I'll hold the Mayo......

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Sun Jan 30, 2005 3:59 pm

You're reading me like a book. OK, I'll have a margarita, on the rocks, with salt.

Hi Isotopia

Donita · Post by **Donita** » Sun Jan 30, 2005 4:00 pm

Howdy all. I'm feeling like something tropical and fruity. Mai tai is always a favorite. May I have one, please? So, you liked the joke about Viagra, eh, MSky?

Martiansky · Post by **Martiansky** » Sun Jan 30, 2005 4:04 pm

You got it Sputnik, one margarita, on the rocks, with salt...coming right up!

(m goes around the bar and gets a large margarita glass, dips the edge in salt, mixes up the margarita, pours almost a gallon of it into the large glass and sets it in front of Sputnik. Hurries and makes a MaiTai for Donita and hands it to her)

Oh, yes Donita! That was very funny!!
I'm still waiting for you to decide what kind of Daquiri you want, Iso.

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Sun Jan 30, 2005 4:08 pm

OK, I'm in for the night...

Donita, Mai Tai makes me think of Hawaii. I need to get back there sometime.

Martiansky · Post by **Martiansky** » Sun Jan 30, 2005 4:11 pm

Ok, Sputnik...I'll bite. In where for the night?
