Self Portrait Challenge Due

(Interpretation of yourself in polymer clay).

This should be really interesting to see. We hope you all stretch yourselves and participate in this challenge.

APRIL 14-15  Mandala Beads and More...

Featuring Barb Fajardo - 2011 Niche Award Winner - who will teach a 2 day workshop. We will create various textured designs on scrap polymer clay that are inspired by ancient Henna and Mendhi tattoo art.
Using simple tools such as ball stylus and needle tools we will explore “Texture Doodling.”
Using what we’ve practiced, we will then create simple round domed beads.
On the second day, you will create an endless variety of shaped domed beads including flowers, snowflakes, butterflies, crosses and hearts.
I will also teach my painting technique which has been compared to Stained Glass and reveals the most amazing shades of color and depth.
