But in the last few years his comments have gotten more complimentary and &#8220;that&#8217;s cool&#8221; is amazingly high on the list of compliments so far. Hehehe&#8230;..I&#8217;m wearing him down.<\/p>\n<p>He loves that I love what I do, and he&#8217;s oh so supportive, but I&#8217;m not sure he has ever understood my crazy way of thinking. But that&#8217;s okay I don&#8217;t understand his obsession with cars either, so we&#8217;re kind of tied. I&#8217;ll take &#8220;that&#8217;s cool&#8221; and love it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/polymerclayetc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/apple4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3384\" title=\"Apple head face- alice stroppel - polymer clay\" src=\"http:\/\/polymerclayetc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/apple4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"360\" height=\"369\" srcset=\"http:\/\/polymerclayetc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/apple4.jpg 360w, http:\/\/polymerclayetc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/apple4-292x300.jpg 292w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>After the sculpting workshop I taught last weekend, I decided to play around with some ideas I&#8217;ve had in the back of my head for a long time. I started this apple man with the idea of making him an ornament like <a href=\"http:\/\/polymerclayetc.com\/?s=bakers+man\" target=\"_blank\">The Baker Man<\/a> ornament I made when shooting my <a href=\"http:\/\/polymerclayetc.com\/?s=bakers+man\" target=\"_blank\">found objects video<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t believe that was almost 2 1\/2 years ago. It just proves that no idea is ever lost.<\/p>\n<p>Well apple man \u00a0quickly turned into something entirely \u00a0different. He is a work in progress so you&#8217;ll have to come back to see him finished. I think this idea is pretty &#8220;that&#8217;s cool&#8221;, so keep your fingers crossed that my experiment works.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/polymerclayetc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/apple2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3382\" title=\"Apple Head side - alice stroppel - polymer clay\" src=\"http:\/\/polymerclayetc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/apple2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"360\" height=\"385\" srcset=\"http:\/\/polymerclayetc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/apple2.jpg 360w, http:\/\/polymerclayetc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/apple2-280x300.jpg 280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And once more, thank you Judith Skinner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After the sculpting workshop I taught last weekend, I decided to play around with some ideas I&#8217;ve had in the back of my head for a long time.
