Some Funky Pendants

.

For some reason, this format has stuck with me....I did two right before the wholesale show and they sold well...

So Now I'm doing more of them...and it feels good....just playing with textures and colors and patterns and shapes and not worrying about content....well, it's relaxing and exciting at the same time.

So I think I'll do more...

A Live! Presentation on EBSQ

I belong to a wonderful online artists' community-EBSQ....I've been a member for quite a few years now and have made some great friends...it's a place where I can go to talk with people who have the same types of struggles and joys as I have because they have similar backgrounds. For a very small fee I get a website presence for my paintings or any other type of art I want to list, there are monthly competitive art shows, forums, chat rooms, and tutorials. Monday night, June 22, at 9 Eastern (6pm Pacific) I will be Live in one of their chat rooms giving a presentation on Polymer Clay Basics.....and you're all invited...
Just go to http://www.ebsqart.com/ and register as a Patron....it's a totally free membership and it will allow you access to this Monday's Live presentation.....where hopefully I'll see you!

Getting Ready

Well, the hand is coming along very well....I'm able to type with both hands now and in a few minutes I'll see how well I can work with clay....I finally got a motor and foot pedal added to my pasta machine and am excited to try it out....

I will begin to fill the orders I got at the wholesale show and some others I need to fill...really looking forward to it. Also excited about starting some new pieces...

Here is a pic of my display at the ACRE show in Las Vegas...

Hand Surgery

recovering from hand surgery...hardto type with left hand..back in action soon

The Show

I've lived vicariously for the last three days....texting, phoning, emailing....the show was good, Muriel took some nice orders and now it's over.
Phew....what a lot of work, but what an exciting ending(beginning)to all that work..

And it's funny...you never know what's going to sell and not sell until the show comes....the larger flower necklaces were admired and passed over as too big....ok, I like them enough maybe I'll scale them down...
And I'm thinking the more colorful pieces were the ones that sold....and that's good, because I love color.

Hopefully I'll have some pics in a few days to show the booth display...
