I have been home from Georgia and Creative Journey Studios a little over a week and it truly seems like only a day or two. I am busy getting ready for Orlando Clay Fandango this week and decide to try pen and ink on ecru clay and boy do I really like it. I love the black and white, but this is new and different.
I’ll be demo-ing pen and ink on polymer clay, my Stroppel Cane, and how to cover a bracelet blank.
I’ll be posting more about my trip to GA when I get back and I know I’ll have great things to share about Fandango too. I have a wonderful interview with Ellen Prophater from Creative Journey Studios to share with you, plus lots of wonderful pictures of the Gallery and my classes.
This year I won’t forget my camera when I go to Fandango. Last year I left it by the back door. and was so dissappointed that I didn’t get to film the instructors and the Fandango Committee. The exciting thing is this year I don’t need a giant camera bag, cords, charger etc. because I have a new little video camera with a USB connection built in. It fits in my pocket. Amazing!
Hope to see you at Fandango in 3…2….1…days.
Speaking of The Stroppel Cane…………
Sage Bray from The Polymer Arts asked me to write an article about the Stroppel Cane for the spring issue. I did and I was excited to see my name on the front cover along with the gorgeous photo of a Heather Campbell creation.
Haven’t read an issue yet try a sample.
Sample Issues of The Polymer Arts magazine … for the polymer clay artist
See you again soon….
Alice, when you do pen and ink drawings, do you still use micron pens? Also, I read in an older post when you do draw with micron pens, you recommend using a heat gun to set them? Are you referring to a heat gun like the ones used for embossing in scrapbooking?
As always, I enjoy seeing your latest creations!
Hi Deborah, yes, I use Micron Pens. And yes, a heat gun used for embossing. Heat setting often and then I coat with Liquid polymer at the end.
Thanks:)
Thanks for sharing this info, Alice. I hope you do a class in the Houston area some day.
me too Deborah! me too.
Alice, I like the ecru so much. It changes the whole feel of the bracelet. Super for a more subtle effect. Can not wait for your classes.
