It’s been hectic around here lately, but I have managed to spend some time most evenings in my studio. With the hot hot weather we’ve been having, it’s quite lovely to work in the cool basement. I’m not producing much though. For one thing, as I explained earlier, the bezel making process […]

I had a lovely lunch with Judy Dunn today. When I was working on The Artist’s Way, one of the suggestions was to connect with people who are supporters. I immediately thought of Judy. We’ve corresponded online, met at a couple of area guild events, but never really sat down to chat. […]

Ok, I am going to let the links speak for themselves. It’s been a busy day, my husband took the day off and so far we’ve been to a museum, had breakfast & lunch out and did a bit of shopping.  Next on the agenda, one of us needs to run E to the […]

Metalworking is hard. It takes lots and lots of practice. Polymer clay is a stroll in the park by comparison. lol Actually, polymer clay is deceptively easy. It’s much harder to produce finely finished work. It’s the old adage “the devil’s in the details.  But, I […]

I am not counting Polymer Clay Daily and Polymer Clay Notes in today’s 5 favorites.  They top my list, but since my blog readership is pretty much limited to polymer clay friends, I’ll assume you already know about them.  (if you aren’t a polymer clay person or family, how’d you find me? lol) I’ve got […]

We have a family event this weekend that requires clothing in the “dressy casual” category.  We’ve got other parties, graduations etc. that also require similar dress.  This level of dressing up is usually doable for me.  I have real trouble when an event calls for formal or semi-formal attire.  The problem is, I have nothing […]

I have been pulled in many directions this week.  Lots of home stuff to take care of, and just little bits of time to create.  The work I have managed to do has been scattered, a bit of fish play, some silver work, some tidying.  I can’t seem to settle down.  We also recently had […]

Yesterday, I hosted a workshop by Diane Villano on making small polymer clay fish pendants inspired by Oaxacan woodcarving. The small fish was based on a large polymer clay over papier mache article that Diane did for Bead & Button magazine.
One of the things I love about the studio is that it it big […]

So, I am a fan of aliteration.  LOLJust a post idea I had. On Fridays I will try to give you a list of some of my favorites. To start off, I thought I would share a list of 5 randomly selected links to some of my favorite sources. I am an […]
