Well I finally have my blog up and I beat my Jan 1st resolution date. I will use this blog to keep those interested in my polymer clay work up to date with my latest work, interests, classes and anything else clay related.
First a little about me. I have been doing polymer clay work for several years but I guess I am most "known" for my face canes. I did my first face about a year ago and you can find a picture of it at the top of this page. Now you may ask yourself "where's the other half?" Well as I said it was my FIRST face cane. If you put her all together she was quite wacky. Not a bad first try and half looks pretty good. I have learned a few things since then enough in fact that people actually want me to teach a class. So thanks to my new friend Annie Hooten I will be doing just that in Mar of 2009 in Albuquerque, NM. If you'd like more information about the workshop email me or Annie. I will be telling you more about the workshop in later posts. I will also be telling you about any current projects that I am working on. Above is a picture of a more current face cane like the one we will be creating at my workshop.

I would love to go and take your class - your canes are fantastic! Tell me about your pictures - they are great - can you give us some tips on photos!
ReplyDeleteHi, Julie!! Welcome to the blogosphere. Nice to have you here with us. I love the look of your new blog. You've done a great job of designing it and, as always, your face canes are just incredible. One of these days soon I hope to get back to my polymer. But since canes r not us, you won't have any competition from me!! [Grin] Keep posting - I've added you to my Google Reader.

Finally!!! I'm so happy to see you online, Julie. We need more pictures, please!
ReplyDeleteWishing you nothing but wonderful things in 2009.
Brenda, As for the photos I don't have anything fancy. I take one of those big plastic storage bins and lay it on it's side. I put lamps on the outside of the box but directed toward the item to be photographed. The plastic works (sort of) to diffuse the light when I take a picture of my item that I have placed inside the box. I hope that makes sense. I'll explain better when I see you Jan.
ReplyDeleteErnie my dear little Sis - you were sorely missed at Clay Carnival this year. Hope to see you in 2009.
ReplyDeleteKim, Thanks so much. You support has meant a lot to me. I promise there will be more pictures coming. I know I'm just a big pic tease.
ReplyDeleteWow Julie Your work is amazing and a true inspiration! Can' wait to see what you'll do next!
