Pattern Requests. / Re: Shuttles for loon
« on: November 07, 2011, 12:05:10 am »
I think these are the shuttles for a weaving loom. You attach the thread/yarn and weave it back and forth to make cloth rugs and shawls etc.
News: Had a couple issues with the forum today. 1/19/2017. I believe I have them corrected now. Let me know if you have any trouble. Thanks.

Thank you everyone. They are really fun to make.
DGman I'm up to 25 bird houses, still need to attach the birds and they will be complete, I may do a few more. They are fun and quick to cut but do have several steps to them so i do a group in stages. I also have about 100 ornaments to get completed in the next 3 weeks before a show. Not to mention some cars and trucks for a donation i plan on making to a local shelter for battered women, seems like they fill up this time of year sadly.

Diana Thompson is the designer. Made these out of poplar bodies, mahogany halos and zebra wood wings.

Odd. I've been researching for about 2 weeks trying to find a pattern and so far have come up empty. I may have to order a competed toy from one of the places that makes them back east. I've had a local customer request one.

Tutorials, Techniques and Tips / Polymer Clay. ??
« on: October 20, 2011, 11:21:40 am »
Steve has several patterns for using polymer clay as an inlay. I've run into a problem.
When sanding the clay after baking, the color of the clay tends to bleed over into the surrounding wood. If using a red clay then sanding the clay on the wood leaves a pinkish tint to the area around it. I haven't seen this on any of the project photos, so there must be a way to prevent it. Do I just need to keep sanding until the bleeding stops? Am I not baking the clay long enough?
Any hints or tips?
Thanks.
