It's almost time for Dayle Doroshow's Workshops...

And I couldn't be more excited!  She will be here over the weekend, teaching us three techniques in polymer clay, sculpture and art books.

Saturday, from 1 to 5, she will have a trunk show of her jewelry!  Come and buy!



I've been experimenting with various polymer clay techniqes myself, in anticipation of Dayle's arrival.  Last week my friend Karen Sheridan, a fabulous artist who is a partner in Plum Art Gallery in downtown St. Augustine, challenged me to come up with "a body of work" for her gallery.  Until now, she's come in and "cherry-picked" my existing stock, to sell on consignment.  As you can imagine, her collection is just a hodge-podge of things she's picked up over the past 18 months.  So, being in the polymer mind-set, this is what I produced:



My "homages" to Kathleen Dustin, Julie Picarello, Celie Fago and Tory Hughes.  I hate to part with a couple of them!  Hours of sanding, sanding, and more sanding, and then buffing, buffing and more buffing.

Well, I must head into the rainy chill and go let a dog out...  By the way, Happy Valentine's Day!
