Time for some cane work. This was not as difficult as I had imagined it to be. Really. Here is a great site for intro to the wonderful world of canes. Now my mind is running wild with ideas. What a wildly addictive medium clay is.

Sunday. My favorite day of the week, as you may know. I am so blessed in this life. It is crazy. God is so good to me. Today’s clay piece is my hugely inadequate thank you to Him. I’ll accompany it with trying my best to shine His light in the world around me.

Here is today’s creation. Stuck on metallics at the moment. I did see something different today, involving polymer clay and dogs. Two of my very favorite things. I never really thought about combining them. Check out this website – Nanjo Dogz, where the artist makes lil’ doggie figurines out of clay and sells them in her Etsy store. So adorable. She is clearly passionate about dogs, which has collided with her clay passion for the benefit of dog owners into uniquely wonderful art. Off to see if she has beagles or jack russells!

Sorry about the poor picture quality. It started raining just as I stepped outside to photograph my finished product, leaving me rushed and in low light. I think God may be teaching me about patience. Anyway… I found a great blog here, with some unique polymer clay tutorials by artist Ponsawan Sila. There are several I want to try, and today’s clay project came from this post. All in all, I am not to stoked about the outcome, but that happens. Her version is more appealing to me. I am, however, very excited about this awesome site. She has put a lot of time into her step by step tutorials, which she provides for free. I have been looking for many of the techniques she shares, and have run across several pay sites, as well as brief tutorials. None like hers. Awesome.
