Work in Progress

…A Lot I’ve Learned From Others…

Do you ever look at something so long that it starts to look funny or sound funny to you? Well, as I was writing this post, “work in progress” began to look rather humorous to me. Why? Well … because I’m not showing anything today that’s “in progress” but rather “done with progress” if you will!

I love to purchase other people’s tutorials. Mostly I like sculpture tutorials, but not always. I do a lot with polymer clay, but sculpture and whimsical design are my first “loves” if you will. Though when it comes to claying, I will admit, I love it all.  In fact, that’s the very reason why my hubby built me my very own polymer clay studio … or was it to get me to clean up … hmmmm. Anyway, let’s see what this week held, shall we (clockwise from top left)?

• A long time ago I purchase Meg Newberg’s Gemstone Cane tutorial. Well, I had scraps … which turned into a rainbow blend, which turned into a gemstone cane … that turned out looking like tie-dye! Awesome!
• Multi-colored glitter on black clay … I just can’t help myself. But please understand, my #1 ordered item this year was my Lump of Coal Ornament.
• Cute little Christmas tree ornaments from scrap (tutorial coming on Thursday)!
• My studio helper, who continues to steal my chair.
• A new tutorial that I can’t wait to do. Talk about awesome! This is the Holo Effect tutorial from The Blue Bottle Tree’s Ginger Davis Allman. WOW! I can’t wait to start this one. Right now she’s having a special that if you buy the Holo Effect Tutorial you get the Christmas Ornament Supplement FREE!
• The new Polymer Cafe magazine came in the mail. As usual, there are a lot of great articles to peruse.
• More scrappy Christmas Tree ornaments (tutorial coming soon).
• And last but not least, I made several Zombie Parkers! Cute and not scary. These little guys are ready to be adopted!
