Text of the page (random words):
ds they receive and posts pictures of it on their blog on the day of the party it is an amazing opportunity to challenge yourself and make new friends all over the world and the day of the party gives all of us much inspiration and eye candy when we hop around to the other blogs to see everyone s reveals my partner is sandra wollberg from germany who sent me the most beautiful handmade lamp work glass beads that she has hoarded for years they are a wonderful soft rich colour of spring green and stumped me for a long time in the end i decided to keep it simple and to just highlight the beauty of the beads with a classic bracelet with copper accents this is a lesson i ve finally learned after years of jewelry design it s sometime best to let the beads speak for themselves instead of trying to overpower them with my own message i think i will get a lot of wear out of this bracelet since it s just my style simple and classic i ve realized that every piece doesn t have to be a statement piece now i just have to add a clasp and it s ready to go unfortunately the beads that i sent to sandra have been lost in transit and i m just devastated that she hasn t received them i m hoping that she will still receive them and will have the opportunity to enjoy them here is the teaser photo that i took of the beads i sent thank you sticking with me this far please hop on over to lori s blog and see what she has created then check out some of the other wonderful artists participating in the party lori anderson hostess claire fabian jennifer strehler rochelle brisson annita wilson melissa

february 2017 polymer clay challenge hi there it s been 8 weeks since i started katie oskin s 2017pcchallenge and so far i ve been posting new items every week on the group facebook page since i ve become totally addicted to polymer clay cane making i have amassed a lot of canes so i ve decided that my challenge this year is to make something every week that uses one of my many canes i have about 30 boxes filled with canes and they just keep growing because i can t seem to stop this is one example of the boxes anyway i ve managed to make some use of some of the canes with this challenge but there is a long way to go here are my creations for week 1 week 8 so that photo heavy post is my latest polymer clay update i hope you like some of my work it sure is fun take care see you soon nan posted by unknown at 14 20 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday 20 february 2017 my beads have arrived from germany lori anderson of pretty things has undertaken to host another blog party and i ve signed up for it lori has the best parties and i for one am very happy that she is feeling well enough after a couple of very tough years with illness of course as soon as she announced she was doing this there was a great response from the online jewelry making world she planned on 40 and hoped for 80 people to sign up but she underestimated her popularity because there are 160 of us coming to the party it will be a wild time since we are expected to visit everybody s blog on the reveal day i can t wait i actually started this blog 4 years ago in order to be part of the 7th bead soup blog party and also took part in the 8th annual party i had a wonderful creative time as a result and made 2 wonderful new friends with my partners hugs and kisses to rita and michi this time i ve been partnered with sandra wollberg from wiesbaden germany and even though i don t know her very well yet i can tell that she is very organized we only received our partners last saturday and sandra sent off my beads right away the postal system in germany must be super efficient because i received the beads on thursday 6 days later that must be a record she posted a teaser photograph before she sent the beads off here are the lovely lampwork beads made by korina stieler germany which sandra has hoarded for many years i am thrilled that she has decided to give them to me for this event she doesn t have an active blog but will be posting her creations on her pinterest page beautiful shades of green photo doesn t do them justice if you d like a sampling of bead soup please check back here on march 25th to see what sandra and i and 158 other keen jewelry artists create with our hoarded bead soup thanks again lori for hosting the party posted by unknown at 21 52 4 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday 9 january 2017 i had this idea i have been having soooo much fun this past year experimenting with polymer clay techniques it really is a rabbit s hole life where the more you discover the more you discover that there is more to discover during one of my clay adventures i had this idea for using translucent clay with one of my favourite clays metallic gold the results were great and when i posted them online i had several requests for a tutorial since i love sharing what i do i decided to give it a try using the adobe spark app which makes it quite easy since you just use sequential still photos and write captions to go with the photos no fussing with video and worrying about how you sound the results are quite good although the format is not to everyone s taste as far as viewing it goes i posted it on facebook and had some lovely feedback from many friends who also shared their results with the tutorial which was quite gratifying i can t seem to find those pictures here are the links to part 1 and 2 of the tutorial https spark adobe com page 2gdaj https spark adobe com page drki4 however life goes on and i spent a busy fall and holiday season which included my very first live polymer clay workshop which i taught at a local bead store beads of colour whose owner organizes a full term of fabulous jewellery classes http www beadsofcolour com workshops php it was a thrill to be asked to participate and even though i m totally self taught i soon realized that i have a lot of knowledge skills and experience to share and help spread the love of polymer clay here s a picture of the some of the cuff bracelets made by my class the new year started with a bang for me when pearl blay featured my tutorial on her jewellery making blog the beading gem http www beadinggem com 2017 01 translucent polymer clay pendant html that was a lovely way to start the year and i received lots of positive feedback again just when i thought it couldn t get any better toni ransfield an artist whom i follow on facebook http www exclusivedesignz com http www exclusivedesignz com used my tutorial to make a cane and covered a pen with it her work is phenomenal and the resulting pen is stunning all of this activity made me realize that i have very negligent of my blog so i decided this was a good time to refresh my blog with some news and a vow to start posting again more regularly i am participating in katie oskin s 2017pcchallenge on facebook again this year so will be posting about it regularly http katersacres com polyclay pcchallenge 2017pcchallenge i hope to join in the latest bead soup blog party being rejuvenated by lori anderson after a hiatus due to her health problems the good news is that she s feeling well enough to undertake this event again http www prettythingsblog com 2017 01 announcement of bead soup blog party html that seems appropriate since bsbp was the motivation that inspired me to start this blog in 2013 4 years ago how time flies when you re having fun and i am having fun have a great day i ll be back soon cheers nan posted by unknown at 16 50 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tuesday 27 september 2016 my first workshop i decided it was time to update my blog and i found this incomplete draft sitting in blogger waiting for some pictures and publishing what can i say it s been a busy summer here is the very belated post about the bettina welker workshop in toronto on august 6th august 8 2016 this weekend was the bettina welker polymer clay workshop i organized what a great experience it was it all started when bettina posted on facebook that she was coming to canada on vacation with her family this summer she asked if any guilds wanted to run a workshop for her to teach i love bettina s work and really wanted the chance to learn from her but don t belong to a polymer clay guild the closest guild to me isn t very convenient i have become very active on facebook and belong to several polymer clay groups so i figured that i could find enough clayers to make it work there are very few polymer clay events in canada because we re still a very small number compared to the us and europe but there are some very talented polymer artists here unfortunately we are such a big country that we re all pretty far apart i attended a workshop last year with helen breil who luckily lives goes quite close to me that was the beginning of getting to know other local polymer clayers contacting those folks and advertising on facebook started the process of finding participants for the workshop several other people helped out by spreading the word thanks to helen breil jane penner wendy orlowski of shades of clay and pearl blay from the beading gem for getting the word out i ended up with 20 students so the workshop was a go i learned a lot about organizing workshops and will hopefully do better next time i probably took on more work than needed but it resulted in a great day there are so many factors to consider like venue cost parking diets sponsors supplies just to name a few i was happy that bettina is an expert at teaching workshops and is extremely well organized with her input and suggestions from many of the students everything came together quite nicely it was a whole day workshop where we learned many of bettina s tips and techniques for making her swivelling necklace bettina snecklace i have to mention that all of the clay for the workshop was supplied by staedtler canada we were given everything that bettina listed on her supply list including 5 full blocks 2 3 oz of fimo professional each and a bottle of fimo liquid clay to share between every two participants at the workshop it was great to have the opportunity to work with the new fimo and it was wonderful to work with really rich colour saturation and easy to condition bettina was an absolute joy to work with and to learn from she shared so many tips and techniques that i m sure i will use them for years to come in all of my polymer work she is super organized and has a great manner for teaching concise and on topic but always with a keen sense of humour and a generous spirit concentrated learning besides learning from one of the best polymer artist teachers in the world the other benefit i realized from this weekend experience was getting to know so many talented polymer artists and gaining 19 new clay friends i m sure there will be many reunions in the future since most of us live within 100 miles of each other plus a few outliers from the ottawa region still only a 4 5 hour drive away sharon ottawa it was fabulous getting to know everybody and seeing the incredible artistry and skill from everyone in the group i can t really show the work done by everybody here because there were too many of us here are some pictures of some of the results and just a few of my new friends gails s necklaces maureen london sandra burlington maryetta port dover i hope you enjoyed this little visit to my workshop one of the best times of my recent years both organizing and attending it who knew here s the teacher and the organizer at the end of a wonderfully tiring day bettina and me thank you bettina for a once in a lifetime experience and to all of the participants for helping out before and during the workshop i couldn t have done it without all of you cheers nan posted by unknown at 15 37 6 comments email this blogthis
