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!
