\"\"<\/a>I’ve been creating new fun but easy canes for my newest cane\/bracelet workshop I’m teaching at Beads F.O.B<\/a>. in Sarasota this weekend. Many of the students have taken a cane class from me before and I wanted to add new, to them anyway, canes and just gereral tips on working with polymer clay. I’ve had a good time, added considerably to my stock of canes and am packing the car right after this.<\/p>\n

My problem is, I get distracted by all the other ideas that come into my head. The bracelet above contains simple yet vibrantly colored canes and I just couldn’t help myself, I had to make this outrageously (choose one of these dictionary definitions……..1. shockingly bad or excessive \u00a02. \u00a0very bold, unusual, and startling.) fun to wear bracelet.<\/p>\n

Naturally, each people can choose their own colors and don’t have to be crazy, so I think we’ll have fun. I have flower canes and several more complicated canes to share as well. There is still room for a couple more people in this class, we have a large space, so if you’re in the area, come join us.<\/p>\n

Oh and I’ll be showing the Stroppel cane too. But some of these woman were the first ones I showed it too but it’s grown just a bit since then.<\/p>\n

I also got some dies and the new book from Tracy Holmes and Dan\u00a0Cormier<\/a> right after Christmas. \u00a0I have some ideas that I want to try out, but haven’t had time, so my thoughts drifted in that direction for a few minutes. Then the idea of translucent clay being colored and looking like sea glass caught my eye on Polymer Clay Daily<\/a>, my brain began drifting again. This conversation started on FB as a result, ( I tried to link directly to the conversation but couldn’t figure that one out. So here’s the link to my page<\/a>, you’ll have to scroll down about half way on the lefthand side.) While you’re there, friend me. lol.<\/p>\n

So many patterns and colors on Pintest now that it has my mind jumping all over the place. I have a sculpting workshop here next month and I’m very excited about a couple of ideas I want to add to the workshop, but I have had to keep those ideas simmering until after the workshop this weekend.<\/p>\n

Plus….information from artists is starting to pour in for Suzanne Ivestor’s and my new magazine Polymer Portfolio. <\/em>The work is amazing, the artists sterling and well, the whole project is exciting.<\/p>\n

So I’m starting off the new year with a full plate and very excited to be so actively involved in this wonderful world of polymer clay, thanks to you all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
