Throwback to February 2021! I can't believe I was trying to exchange these for money.... My style has definitely evolved, and hopefully you all agree for the better!

Me, after buying yarn: My name is Ann & I have a problem.
Husband: Is it yarn, clay or glassware?
Me: Yup!

In the days before, I purchased the shown pieces of glassware. I want to cover them but I think I need to find who will want them so I get the colors right!

The left one is a square vessel. The jug is a gallon size. The minis will make a neat set, but what will they, and the others, be used for? All purchases go to either the buyers’ or my favorite charities. Who wants to make a donation??

I dropped off some fun stuff at Collect & Gather today. (Plus pens that I didn’t photograph!) If you are going to the big art show at Artist & Fare on Sunday, check out this fun store for new art and donated art supplies at thrifty prices.

Been experimenting! The first photo was my second trial. I started out with a significant mistake on round 1 but still created flowers I like! I used a tutorial from Abel-Smith/PolyOriginals. See a previous post where she shows beautiful eggs!!

This is a great resource for anyone interested in creating with polymer clay. I have learned a lot from Ginger, the person behind the information.

Have you seen those triangle templates for making Skinner blends? Yeah, not necessary. In fact, you don't need to use triangles at all to make a blended sheet like this.

Just like a "dump cake", Ginger's Dump Blend just dumps the colors in the pasta machine and out comes something like this.

And while we're at it, did you know that you can ADJUST and MODIFY a blended sheet? I show you how and explain the whole thing in the article on my website.
