It’s easy to get lost in Flickr, lost for a long time if you’re not careful. I particularly love exploring the many Flickr groups. They are wonderful sources of inspiration. It’s so much fun to search for groups based on words like texture, pattern, grid, macro, surface etc. Here are 5 […]

Ok, I’m still swamped, so here is a quick 5 Friday Favorites. PMC artists, 5 of my absolute favorites, who use metal clay in exciting ways. In completely random order:
Celie Fago
Gordon Uyehara
Kelly Russell
Jennifer Kahn
Kate McKinnon

Sometimes every day life is just at odds with the artistic process.  I am caught up in a maelstrom of parenting issues and mundane every day tasks.  Actually I find the mundane tasks of life to be the perfect pass time when I am stressed out, but I hate having to ignore that tiny voice […]

Technically this is a “5 Friday Favorites” because I am going to show you 5 photos, but instead of a random pick these are 5 favorites from my old photo files.
I thought it would be fun to take a look back today. In part this is a response to yesterday’s post. 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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
