Painted Ladies

My Painted Ladies are getting getting away from me. Too much going on. It's funny, when I'm not feeling well, I get lost in the process of what I'm creating and it becomes just that.....a process rather than a creation. It's a matter of just "doing" something so I'm not thinking or feeling. Not a joyful thing. They look so stressed.

Painted Ladies in Polymer Clay

My interpretation of the famous row of Painted Ladies Victorian Homes. So far, there are 7 pins and two pendants. A bracelet is just in the sketching stage, but I'm hoping this will become an ongoing series for me.

It's a short blog this morning because I'm flying out the door to catch a ride to Chandler, Arizona (an hour away) where I will be participating in the first day of a two day workshop with Tory Hughes.

So, it's short, but sweet. Come on, you know you think they're cute. It's the cardboard cut-out that makes me giggle. All I need are some little polymer clay cars zooming down that road of life.

Still Playing House

I'm still playing with my house design. I sketched out a few designs and am loving playing with the mokume gane technique I learned from Julie Picarello.

Kind of nice working in the quiet of the night.

My husband will be cutting ceramic tile tomorrow to finish the step-down to our "new" old room, so it will be noisy. I need to gather my supplies together and condition clay for the weekend workshops with Tory Hughes. So looking forward to meeting her. But I must get busy now and get these things done and then get to bed or I will be napping another day away tomorrow.
