Transition

It is transition time from the school year into the summer.  Now I"M the one in school!  I have been able to be at the Bead and Button show in Milwaukee for the last 3 days and have had a great time watching the demonstrators and visiting with all the people that have an interest in clay.  I'm so excited to start working with the new ideas and techniques that I've learned!  There will be more items added to my Artfire store soon!( http://www.artfire.com/users/FesserArts)    

It's so fun to hear the comments about the items we have put out for display that are really just meant to show possibilities!  Several of my pieces aren't even finished, but we wanted people to know how approachable and doable polymer clay really is!  Our fearless leader, Beth Ackley,  http://www.destined2clay.com/  put out her meticulous color mixing chips, and people would buy those in a heartbeat!  Her bowl of cane samples have people ooing and ahhing, and rightly so!  Penny Ellen Adams, http://www.sweetpeakeepsakes.com/

could have sold out of her adorable pens by now if we'd been allowed to sell!  I'm so happy that she gets to see how people react to her charming PEAS!

I have met some of my "heroes" in the poly world and they are so nice and willing to share knowledge and information!  Barbara McGuire, Marla Frankenberg, Lynne Ann, Julie Picarello, Christi Friesen, wow.  Check out their flicker sites, etsy sites, whatever you can find.  They are just a google away!
