On the ‘chicks weekly Ebay we’ve got a lovely bright set from Carolyn and this set of coffee toned flowers with a little cabbage white butterfly:

Year of Clay – Bangle Stack
The first bangle went so well, I made a stack. Just like pancakes – one is good, a stack is better.
These are all my standard colour schemes – see the sea garden and the lavender fields – over a solid core of my own design. I’ve almost got it down!
Claychicks Weekly – Coffee n Bees
If you need a bit of a buzz (I crack myself up) you have options with our ebay this week – this set of Carolyn’s on ebay has a bee with lovely roses. Or, if you prefer your ‘buzz’ with a little less sting, I have my coffee hued set. It’s what I used on my bangle a couple of weeks ago.
There’s also this nifty monochromatic set with a striking crimson rose to make the black and white pop:
Stories
I have a friend I’ve played an online boardgame with on and off for five years. Late last fall I showed him my clay life and pointed out some of the designs I had on Ebay.
Being him, he surfed right past my flowers and gushed about Kathi Gose’s amazing Native American designs. He told me he would love to have a gift for his father with these designs. So I asked Kathi for a few pieces. She’s a sweetie and sent them right along.
Of course, he took a few months off playing and I didn’t see him until this weekend past. He asked after the old project and said his father was getting married this Thursday. Would I make a gift? he asked. Sure, I said.
I tried half a dozen designs before I settled for absolute simplicity. The poor pen blanks.
The story doesn’t end there. It turns out that Mr. P, the groom to be, has lung cancer. The cancer has reached the terminal stage. My friend Kathi, who’s beautiful designs are on these pens, is a fierce supporter of cancer research and fundraises for it.
Year of Clay – Mother’s Day
This week I have a guest artist contribution and it’s clay but not polymer. However, it’s near and dear to my heart so here we go:
Makes me wish I’d taken one of her little baby hands and made a clay press of it at the time! Now, her hand isn’t much smaller than mine.
