New Project -Opposites Attract

Image
I've decided to create a color scheme - in this case opposites attract - orange and blue with shades  gold!  The clay is conditioned and we all get to wait to see what it will become! Fun for hot summer days!

Into The Forest

Image
Polymer pine cones and rocks in my forest! I'm participating in an international polymer artist collaboration.  We are all going 'into our forests' and really looking at the organic forms  that abound.  Since the project is international there will be lots of different forest life represented.  (Real things - no fairies or gnomes!) Each of us will make our individual version of things we see in polymer clay (and make at least 10 of each item), send it to the coordinator and a team of artists will create colonies that overlap to create a mural with the theme 'Into the Forest'.  It will be seen November 7 in Pittsburgh PA.   Pine cones, pine needles, leaves, rocks, wildflowers, tree bark, insects, birds and animals are some of the things I find in my Prescott National Forest.  I'm selecting pine cones and rocks as my contribution and sharing the making of pine cones with you today.  I have a minimum of 8 more to make this month.  Guess I better get bus

Never Enough Wildflowers

Image
More beautiful seldom seen wildflowers from Anza Borrego Desert!  I think there are never enough.  Most of the flowers are small and it takes a lot of them to cover the hillsides.  Most amazing to find one flower standing alone in the otherwise barren area of the desert.  Enjoy! White Primrose Desert Lily California Poppy A favorite - The Five Spot These are so tiny and a lovely lavendar Tiny plants  These are about the size of your little fingernail  = maybe smaller! One brave yellow spot of color
