2013’s Monthly & Weekly Project using the book series CF Originals by Christi Friesen
It’s time to begin … another Christi Friesen book. This is the second to the last book that we will conquer together for the Friesen Project of 2013. So, without any further ado, let’s open up the book and get started!

Well, it’s once again time for that very sad moment … signing off an another book. There are only two books left in our Friesen Project for 2013. This is the last & final project in the Steampunkery book by Christi Friesen. There is also a free project on Christi’s website for more intricate ghoulies.

This project is completely my own. As we have gone on with the project, I have encouraged you to make your own things using Christi’s work as a stepping stone. This project will encourage you to do the same. Today’s assignment can be found on page 67-73 in Christi’s “Steampunkery” Book. Continue reading Steampunk Tutorial: How to Make a Cog or Sprocket
Today’s tutorial is taken from Christi’s book on page 31. As you will see as you open the book, there are no tutorials for this project! It’s a page of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea! It includes seahorses, fish, dragons, turtles, and many more. Since we have done the “Under the Sea” book, the individual tutorials for many of the projects will be linked below. This tutorial is my own, and not from Christi’s book, but is definitely Christi-inspired.

Another Friesen Friday is upon us (three cheers for the weekend)! Are you ready for the weekend? Today’s project is a great one. It’s fun, cute, and best of all, you can make this really any way you want. In many ways, this project is similar to our Dragon Project from Christi that we started on at the beginning of the year. So get excited and make yourself something fun this weekend.

In case you missed it, the first tutorial from this book was featured on Tuesday, make sure you get the tutorial here and get your projects posted to the FaceBook Page or the Pinterest Board. Continue reading Friesen Project: “Steampunkery” Polymer Clay Elephant Tutorial

This week’s project is self guided … that means that you are to make your own project using Christi Friesen’s Woodland Creatures Book as a guide. Sculptural projects are outlined in detail on pages 18-24 with other project examples multiple places in the book. Continue reading Friesen Friday: Book 7 Woodland Sculpture
How are ya’ll doing?! I just got back from a whirlwind trip to New York City … even Parker had a good time! Here’s a quick photo…

Who knows what day it is? That’s right … it’s Friesen Friday! Bring out the clay, tools, fun, music, & let’s have a virtual clay party! Today’s project is probably one of the easier ones we’ve done all year. You can whip up these cuties in under 20 minutes … even my more elaborate bunny took me just 30 minutes to make! But be sure that you have purchased Christi’s book so that you can see all the steps in full of how to make this cute little guy.
Well …. sometime technology is a real pain in my squirrel tail. I used a “real camera” instead of my iPhone to take your tutorial pictures this week hoping that since we’re now back to “full tutorials” that they would be awesome pics. Somehow my SD card became “corrupted” and I have lost everything on it, save for 4 pictures … of course of the END of the project! ARG! *Insert horrible frustrating sounds here* So … this being said today’s “tutorial” sadly will be more of a non-picture commentary on the project. I cried over this problem this morning, pulled myself together and then took a deep breath. So instead of a tutorial, today you get a “what-atorial” … my code name for “what just happened to my tutorial pictures?” Deep breath …. and moving on …
I hope that each and every one of you are enjoying your journey through Christi’s books. By now you have had the opportunity to make approximately 25 projects! Wow, that’s a lot of projects. If you are behind or are missing projects, you can easily get the tutorial listing and link to purchase the books here.
