A look into my studio.

This lens is to be a peek into my studio. I'll explain (with pictures) what I've been working on, hope to work on, and have finished each week (some weeks this may be a lot, other weeks perhaps nothing at all.)

I'll mostly be working with polymer clay and creating beads and pendants but the occasional pen or tin, etc might sneak in. Some seed bead work may even creep in from time to time.

This week I've been working on... 

Week of 8-25-09

Tuesday

I made some unicorns last week. Fiddly critters, specially the legs. I ended up steampunking one cuz of nicks and flaws and another (the red maned one) will go in my garden because of the same.




I'm pondering the making of fairy wings, to be put onto dragons and kitties. And maybe sprites.

Friday

The wing experiments didn't go so well. It and all else has been shelved do to the arrival of my new book.

Polymer Clay Color Inspirations by Lindly Haunani and Maggie Maggio.

If it's possible to fall in love with a book, then I'm in love with this one. I'm working my way through it, making all kinds of color samples and having so much fun. And I haven't even gotten to the fun projects part yet.

Below is what I made yesterday.



I really wish I could tell the world to go away and leave me alone with my book, but grocery shopping must be done if I want to eat.

And this is what I made today:



And this is what they look like after my previously reliable oven decided to spike and burnt everything.



I'm really upset. I hate redoing things. And that's quite a bit of clay going into the trash.
