Whats happening at YIKES!-A lot!

Haven't had much time for writing this blog. Ahhh... writing is not my thing but I find that I have to do it a lot more than I care to.

Wanted to make a note here about my very new and very very interesting beads (to me anyway) I have delved into the world of polymer clay and am totally addicted to the stuff. I am so thrilled to be able to use color and pattern in my very own beads!! It has been a lot of experimenting and I have so many ideas going through my brain. Can't make things fast enough.

Will have scans here for viewing soon.

Also, have started a new body of work in pastels of all things. Though I have always liked oil pastels, the chalk pastels never appealed to me before. It is very interesting to work with them. It is like the opposite of the oil pastels in that i am always bumping up the color as opposed to bring it down when using the oil. My work has loosened up.
