Natural Stone Clay by La Doll

UPDATE TO THIS POST AT BOTTOM OF POST: I made these little trees out of Natural Stone Clay by La Doll. I have been playing with this stone clay and it is much like Paperclay. But, it seems to dry faster and harder which works great for me and my inpatient self. I am making all kinds of clay things for thhe Funky Finds and anything else I get myself involved in during spring and summer. It is nice to have things lined up to keep you positive and excited. It's like that saying that I used to have on the bottom of my email......"all you need to be happy is something to do, someone to love, and something to hope for". Plus, I will get to see Renea, meet my friend Donna, and spend time with Lisa.

I'm very excited that I have been asked to participate in the Chroma's Working Artist Program. They are going to send me some of their paints and I am to interact with them about how I like it. I will keep you posted on this...

I finished some clay hearts today by adding some metal wings. I could not help but dig into my metal findings box to embellish my clay heart magnets. I'm going to post a few new things like this tonight on my etsy so come and take a look if you have a moment. Now, I'm going to try and catch up with all my fellow bloggers. PEACE AND LOVE to all my bloggies.

Here is a picture of the clay I used. I purchased it at Michaels.

Paper Flowers and Fabric Flowers

Well, I'm kind of in a creative funk again. I hate it when this happens! I'm so glad that next weekend I am going to Fredricksberg, TX again to the trade days. I know it will inspire me in all kinds of directions. Meanwhile, while I am trying to get my groove back........I have been making a lot of little short term projects in the paper department. I made this little posey pin from faux vintage post/letters etc papers from the scrapbooking department. I actually wore it yesterday on my jacket. Then I spotted this book on Fabric Flowers by Elizabeth Helene Searle at the fabric store and I had to get it. I used her instructions to make this first fabric flower. I want to try several of her other flowers instructions. Now, what will I do with them? Who knows? Does it really matter if I am enjoying myself? Probably everyone will get fabric or paper flowers for Christmas! Heehee Have a great day.

Laughing Out Loud

I still have some work to do on these paper mache letters. I finally found something to do with all the bits and pieces of things that I keep because they will be perfect for some piece of art.....some day. Today is the day! I really love this piece/grouping. LOL .....a good message don't you think? Go ahead, Laugh Out Loud.....it is very healthy and therapeutic. Today, I bought the soundtrack to Mamamia and I have enjoyed the heck out of it. I really enjoyed that movie. I have discovered that people either love it or hate it. I just think that it is so cool that Meryl Streep totally stepped out of her norm and went for the musical. She did a great job and I can't wait to see it again. It is a great girlfriends and sisters movie. I highly recommend that you go and get it and go to your girlfriends house and watch it and....oh....I don't know......LAUGH OUT LOUD! Let me know if you do and how it goes.

VILLAGE CLAY WORKS Another Artist Interview

I ran across this wonderful and whimsical artist several weeks ago when her work was featured on Etsy. I have enjoyed looking at her work and I know you will too. Meet Catherine Reece from Northern California. She is a creative woman who has been working in clay for over thirteen years. She was kind enough to let me interview her for this blog. Please enjoy. Tell us about who you are, what do you want to say as a statement about you? My name is Catherine Reece and I live in Dublin, California (just east of Oakland). I am married and a mother of two kids. I have been professionally selling my pottery for 8 years. I was waiting for my husband to graduate from design school and find a job while i worked and played with clay. Over a few years I began to build a small business selling my pottery. MY husband didn't find the job of his dreams and so he joined my in the studio as my partner. Now we make our living as artists selling pottery.I think I am still trying to figure that out.
