“and what is the use of a book,” thought Alice, “without pictures or conversations”. ( Alice in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll )
Metamorphosis - Meta for short
That’s how I feel about a blog about polymer clay! What good is it without pictures?
I haven’t been working too much with clay over Christmas and didn’t have any pictures to show you. I still don’t. But I wanted to post something, to let you know I’m thinking of lots of things to do and share. So I’m posting something I did 5 or 6 years ago, maybe more (another one of those that I didn’t date).
She was an accident of sorts. The front of her body came about when I ran the clay through the pasta machine. It just accordioned itself to look like a caterpillar to me. Made me think of Alice in Wonderland. So I had no choice but to use it in some way in honor of Alice. Thus Meta was born.
I have never been able to duplicate the way that clay came out of the pasta machine. I wish I could. But I’m happy I made something out of it instead of mushing it up and running it through again.
Sometimes life hands you something that you may think you didn’t want, but if you can look at it from another angle, chances are it’s something you could use after all.
Thank you all for visiting, for commenting and for linking my blog to yours. It’s been so much fun getting to know some of you. I hope to meet more of you through this blog in the coming year.
Have a Happy New Year everyone! It’s going to be a wonderful year!
