....end of the school year and beginning of summer. I actually think I'll be busier this summer than during the school year! After an amazing set of classes from Lynne Ann Schwarzenberg, a new group of ideas has started brewing! It was great being the student and letting someone share their experience and knowledge with me. What I really appreciated about how Lynne teaches is the WHY. WHY you do something a certain way. That allows me to transfer that to another technique and get better or even different outcomes.
Working with polymer clay is very therapeutic for me. I first started playing with it after we closed a business and moved from a huge house to an apartment less than half the size. It was an art material I could use in a small space, which was important because the entire contents of my work space were in the room my church allowed me to have. When I felt the creative urge, I had to go to my art room at church or pull out the box with all my polymer goodies! 10:30 at night was not the time to head on over to church to launch into a painting! (Not a bad time now that I have my space at my home!)
I have heard "discipline" called "the D word". That's my goal for the summer! Come along on the ride and see how it goes!

I'm glad you got so much out of the class! It's a fantastic experience to learn from a teacher who takes the time to explain why things are done a certain way. I can't wait to see what you make with this new inspiration! And discipline...yes, we all need it! I know we've talked before about setting a schedule for ourselves. I'm doing it for the first time this week and am already feeling a difference. I'm so glad you can now play with your clay or other artforms any time you want! It's difficult to schedule creativity!
