February meeting report 2011
Hi Y'all,
Our February meeting was great! We have a new member, Linda. She and her husband do beautiful jewelry. He cuts and polishes the stones and she wire wraps them. She has recently gotten interested in polymer clay. Welcome Linda. She brought some of her lovely pieces to show. Brenda brought one of her fabulous necklaces with a cold connected metal piece that she learned to do in a class with Kim StJean. Kathy showed us a silver pendant with a bezel that she had made in a silversmithing class. Cheryl showed us how to make cool canes using our extruders. Maggie did a quick demonstration on how to use small glass bowls as a mold of sorts for polymer clay bowls. We got busy making canes , extruders squeaking away. Some of us used our canes slice by slice applying them to the glass bowls. Some of us made sheet from our canes to drape over or even in the bowls. The result was at least one broken extruder and a bunch of unique bowls ranging from very serous elegant ones to a funny one with purple feet (complete with toes).
Our membership fees are due at the March meeting
Next meeting: Back by popular demand - Kathy will demonstrate turning polymer clay on a lath. It is such an amaizing technique. Hope you all can be there.

Cheryl and I (Maggie) are going to collaborate on the demo this time. We will be doing extruded canes and polymer clay bowls. The canes because they are cool and the bowls because you have to have something to use those cool canes on.
You will need your regular clay kit. (Pasta machine, work surface, clay blades, acrylic rod, wet ones or something to clean hands)
clay in at least 3 coordinating colors
Extruder
little glass clay dedicated bowls. I have several to share if you don't have them.
Like Cheryl said in the prior post: Bring your lunch, show and tell and we will see you at 12:00
Blythe location.

Meeting this Saturday
Hello all, its that time again. Meeting is at the Reames Rd (Blythe Location) @ 12 Noon!
Bring your lunch and we'll start w/ the meeting then show and tell. We don't have a set Demo, but was thinking we could all bring our Extruders and work on some colors for spring. Or bring whatever project you are working on. If anyone has any ideas they want to see Demo, please let me know for future meetings.
Can't wait to see you all
