I woke up this morning to a surprise. Both of the pieces I entered into the International Polymer Clay Association’s 2012 Progress and Possibilities placed. I’m more than thrilled that both the judges and the membership enjoyed my work.
“Tracey”, my giant necklace above tied for 2nd place with Bettina Welker’s hinged bracelet, “Circles” and with my second entry, “Fantasy Fish Bowl” ( in the photo below). How wonderful is that? I’m laughing because I’m tied with myself.
“Tracey” also placed 1st with the members and “Fantasy Fish Bowl” was second. Really, first and second? I couldn’t believe it, still can’t. I am honored to have been able to compete with such wide array of talented polymer clay artists.
Thank you to the judges and all the members who voted for my pieces. And a big thank you to Suzanne Ivester who encouraged me to create something to enter. (Shamed me into it would be a better discription, lol)
The rest of this day…..well…..it’s going to continue to be pretty wonderful, I’m grinning from ear to ear.
Huge congratulations! Huge! –Marlene
