Now for something different! Can’t stop painting, printing and stamping with my gelliarts plates. First finished project a little accordion book. So sweet!! #monoprinting #gelliarts #bookart #paintedpapers #theflyingsquirrelstudioColor, beautiful color! But its not just a pretty face, it is a powerful design tool as well. Check out my blog on Sculpey’s website today (www.sculpey.com) about creating color stories! To all my teachers, (Loretta, Maggie, Lindley) you have had an impact!#polymerclaypassion #polymerclay #sculpey #timetoplay #polymerclayjewelry #theflyingsquirrelstudio #colorstories #colorinspirationCleaning my work area, consolidating colors and making new ones always leads to tangents. I like tangents!! They can be so much fun. #polymerclaypassion #polymerclay #sculpey #timetoplay #polymerclayjewelry #theflyingsquirrelstudioI have heard Sante Fe is beautiful in March!! Next teaching gig is open for registration at www.wholebead.com. Hope to see you there! #polymerclayclasses #polymerclaypassion #polymerclayworkshops #polymerclay #sculpey #timetoplay #polymerclayjewelry #wholebeadshow #theflyingsquirrelstudioPlaying with liquid clay veneers and channeling a Mid-modern vibe. I love when playing results in such fun stuff! Go play!!! #polymerclayretreats #liquidpolymerclay #polymerclay #sculpey #timetoplay #polymerclayjewelry #theflyingsquirrelstudioI wanted to share my latest creations. This is a new direction for me but I am having a blast with these ‘other worldly’, galaxy-looking pieces. Giving your work a name is sometimes the hardest part! Suggestions welcome! BTW just finished teaching at #Beadfest and it was great! See you in Phillie next year! #polymerclayclasses #polymerclaypassion #beadfestphillie #polymerclayworkshops #polymerclay #sculpey #timetoplay #polymerclayjewelry #theflyingsquirrelstudioBead and Button
