We have been very busy, though. On April 6, we had a table at Gallery2010 here in KC in the Crossroads district. We really enjoyed it a lot and made some great sales. Our table looked like this:
It was a blast, and there was a great Reggae band playing most of the evening, and of course, FREE WINE! :) We had great success and will be going back again May 4th.
I've been working a ton with metallic surfacers and patinas over Polymer Clay. A couple of months ago, Christi Friesen released a product line called "Swellegant!" I ordered the full line (OK, really, my mother ordered it for me and gifted it to me) within a day or so of its release. While I was waiting for my box to arrive, I started doing some research on my own, and found the Sculpt Nouveau website and wondered if Christi Friesen's products were the same or similar as Sculpt Nouveau. Well, when my box of Swellegant! arrived, my questions were answered.
Swellegant is basically Sculpt Nouveau's Metallic surfacers, Dye-Oxides and a couple of traditional patinas, all packaged in smaller, more affordable quantities and marketed to Polymer clay artists. Cool! I spent a couple of weeks playing almost non-stop with the Swellegant! products, and had a great time and made some pretty cool things. However, my mind kept wandering to all of the products that work with the metallic surfacers that Sculpt Nouveau offers that I *didn't* have. So, I did what any fool would do and ordered a big old box. Wheee!
Since, I've been having a ton of fun making what Jay calls "Rice Bowls." I love these little not quite concentric circles:
I have actually recently branched out into square shapes, but don't have any great photos yet. Stay tuned!
