Polymer Poppets and Life

I have always dreamed of having a job that I loved and creating things that people would want to have. I have in the past year become a tattoo artist which is probably unheard of at my age but oh well! I get to draw designs and apply those pieces of work to someone's skin, an art form in itself! Although I love my job thus one dream coming true I still felt like there was something that I wanted to do. I LOVE polymer clay and love creating with it. I started working with Polymer Clay in 2003 and did a lot of little critters that sold via internet, local shops etc. but life began to take over and I put the clay away. I recently picked it back up and am working on my sculpting skills again. It's rather like riding a bike, once you've done it, it's just a matter of brushing up and getting back on so to speak. I have been inspired over the years by Christi Friesen who does a lot of the whimsical type clay that I like, recently I came across a book by Laurie Mika with her polymer tile mosaics that just took my breath away, I had never considered the collage effect that I so love could be accomplished with clay tiles duh!!!! Then while on Christi's yahoo group CF Originals I viewed an album by Kudzu's Whimsy and fell in love. Sally Golubosky's Dragons are just wonderful and am looking forward to her class that I ordered online for the tips and techniques she uses so that I can create my own Dragons! I will promise to make a strong effort to keep this blog up since I seem to be a bit ADHD and tend to forget that it needs updated, I thought that was what my little work fairy was for!! Peace to all!
