I spent Thursday through yesterday (Monday) morning with the fabulous Brenda Sue of B’Sue Boutiques and the polymer princess herself, Christi Friesen.
Welcome to Christi Friesen Week! If you missed what we’re going to be doing this week, you can get the details here. In the meantime, let’s get right to this quick, simple, and easy tutorial. Are you ready? Let’s get started.
What does Christi Friesen have to do with WIP Wednesday? Well … I spent more time this weekend claying with her than I do in any normal week. So therefore, this weeks’ WIP Wednesday is all about the lovely weekend that I spent with about 40 other wonderful people and Christi Friesen!
I spent the past weekend with a terrific group of ladies who spent two full days taking classes with Christi Friesen. Christi is just as wonderful as every email & phone call I ever shared with her. More wonderful in fact … I love her to pieces. In honor of her and all she does for the Polymer Clay community … it’s Christi Friesen week!
Tomorrow, for WIP Wednesday, I’ll share pictures of the journey & the weekend activities. On Thursday we’ll talk about B’Sue Boutiques and her awesome shop for findings and metals. And join me on Friday for some terrific giveaways, you won’t want to miss it!
Well, it’s been a year full of fun and adventure, and now the 2013 Friesen Project has come to a close. We have spent 52 weeks together and done over 40 projects. For those of you who hung in there and stuck it out, good for you! I hope you learned something about yourself and your clay. I hope you were able to develop your style and your voice over the past year.

I hope each and every one of you had a great Thanksgiving! I know I did. I even was able to count my blessings. There are so many though, that I actually lost track.

Next week we will begin the final stages of our year long project by working on the final book, “Flourish.” There are some great projects here that I’m sure you will enjoy.

Polymer Clay Bird Tutorials REVISITED! Since we are in the Mixed Media Book, I got a request from several of you asking if we could “please, oh please” make birds again. In the case of a couple of those requests, it was because you took time off from the Friesen Project this summer. For others of you it was because you just love birds that much. In either case, we’re going to be doing birds again this week! So break out the clay, it’s time for a bird tutorials. Continue reading Polymer Clay Bird Tutorials: The Friesen Project Revisited
