I’m making this neck piece using my new method. It’s bright, I know. but it’s me.
It is lumpy and bumpy, with highs and lows. Very interesting.
It’s relatively light because Ultralight is involved, but we’ll see how it feels when I wear it. More work to do…..see you next time.
i love it, alice!
I like it very much, Alice. Love the bright colors.
What does WIP stand for? Also, let’s see how you string it to hang around the neck…
This is very cool! I love to see your “works in progress” especially when they look so intuitive and I have a hard time to imagine where you’re going next… inspiring!
Thanks Dor and Monique, alway fun. Lois “work in progress” Sound official and very cool don’t you think? I’m pondering how to string it now.
thanks you guys for taking the time to comment here on my blog…since FB, it gets lonely in here. J
It is you! What is the size? Will you use your new enclosure with it?
It’s big of course. Sydney….lol. I might try the closure, but I’m kind of saving that for Fandango. Thinking a out something else maybe.
Alice, the new technique looks fun. Is it another idea to use up bits of cane? I’m looking forward to seeing the finished necklace.
Hi Deborah, You could use bits of slices, however these are all brand new slices and to be honest, I won’t be using older canes with my next piece. The clay needs to be workable and the older cane that I used wanted to crack when I tried to manipulate it. So no more old canes, I’ll save those for Stroppel Canes…lol
Thanks for taking the time to comment.
I love the lumpy, bumpy, Alice; and I’m all about brights too. Last week my boss showed me a B/W cuff she’s working on which was a similar idea. Remind her to show it to youthe next time you see her.
I think it will be a very cool necklace. I can see it with some accent beads made with the canes you use in the main piece. Bright and cheerful just like you.
Another question, Alice: How are these attached together? Squishing or liquid poly clay? or other methods? Thank you!
Sara, Patricia, thanks, I’ve been distracted and haven’t finished it yet, but hope to get back to it today.
Lois I’m experimenting with UltraLight and have used that as a base. Kind of hard to explain.
Ooooh Alice, I am loving this one. Bit of a colour girl myself and it is just so luscious. Can’t wait to see it on. And I love your idea of a “yeah right” jar that you mentioned in an earlier post. I am teaching a face cane class next weekend over here in Oz (They have to make do with me until we can get Alice Stroppel and/ or Barbara McGuire to visit Broken Hill in the Australian Outback) and I will send all my excitable clayers to your magnificent site. Thanks for posting. Love it.
Wendy, Doesn’t everyone have a yeah right jar?
I would love, love, love to visit you in your Australian Outback. I bet I could talk Barbara into coming with me. Then we could all compare faces…..Your faces are fabulous btw…I know your workshop will be a blast, you have such a great sense of humor.
I am such a fan of you, your work and how you are contributing to Samunnat Nepal. I am inspired.
Thanks for taking the time to leave such a nice note.
Where may I see a pic of “yeah right” jar?
Sound like something I might want to try. I have got peanutbutter jars galore…
Or, “yeah right” can (steel cans)?
hehehe Lois, just use one of those peanut butter jars and put all your “what was I thinking” or “yeah right” pieces in there. That’ll work. Mine it a biggggg jar, you probably don’t have as many failures as I do..hoho.
In that case, Alice, my whole work space, aka gameroom, aka studio, can be the big “yeah right” place. ha ha ha. Thank you! chuckle chuckle…
I hear ya’ Lois..lol
Alice, I love this, so colorful. Can’t wait to see the completed project!
Thank you Mary!
