She and several other clay artists have opened a gallery called Claybodies...they mostly do ceramic work but have also included polymer....and up until yesterday I was working hard at getting everything done for that. Here are a few of the pieces I did for the show...<br /><br />it's always fun to have a show to do, it gives me motivation to create work I might not otherwise.<br /><br />In this case I've made some bangles... it's hard to stop once you get going on those...thanks to a wonderful tutorial from amazing polymer artist and fellow instructor with CraftEdu, Melanie West. She has a great Etsy store with bangles and tutorials here:<br /><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/CorvusFlies">http://www.etsy.com/shop/CorvusFlies</a><br />I learned to work on brass and found it very satisfying...I've never really covered anything before so it was a bit scary at first but now I feel like an old hand at it lol....<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5FKmD-B7U7JV4oRo-FKg0S3IKDje-9VI7CNBUv-2U59p1y7Wp_tpXz_p9Lv0BmRT1dIg3wvG3wrVv7BMZlcTV-WuShQDHpyewjOG8n85NyNSl-NDj4qIo8CudIL6bZq0g9GHmh-0vMKva/s1600/P1013280.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px;
