Joining the Guild



Red pendant in silver bezel with glass bead tassel

Fun Meeting

Last Saturday I attended my first Maine Polymer Arts Guild meeting. It was so much fun and very informative. I learned many new things and got to meet like minded, crazy for clay, people. What a wonderful way to spend a Saturday and a much needed break for me from production work. Hope to have links here soon to member's web sites.



These are really much more red than the picture shows.
Set in silver with Swarovsky cyrstals.

Posting of some new works
While creating my pieces for the Work of the Hand show I got to further explored the use of silver with polymer clay. I feel a real union of these materials and hope to be using the silver fabrications more and more frequently. These are the higher end pieces though and I still am devoting a majority of my time to the production pieces for my regular shows and customers. It is important to me that i have a line that is affordable to everyone as well as the more "art" pieces.

The show has ended but the
CMCA will be carrying my pieces in the gift shop through the end of December.

COMING SOON
Hope to see you soon at the Designing Women Show at Husson College in Bangor Nov 1.

My work will be at the new Center for Maine Craft in Gardiner opening in Nov. Will provide details soon.
