Saturday Meeting 2-25-12





Wow, this months meeting has snuck up on me. I sent out an e-mail on what was needed for tomorrows Demo technique but wanted to make sure it was posted here as well.

We are working on the Sutton Slice technique. You will need your basic polymer clay kit, make sure you have a new or sharpened blade, unmounted rubber stamps detailed designs, and colored, black and white, one of these brands will do, Premo, soft Fimo, or Kato clay. Haven't tried the new Prado clay w/ this technique so I'm not sure how well it will work. Maybe someone will try it....

(types of unmounted stamps can be viewed on Lisa Pavelka website: https://www.lisapavelka.com/Texture-Stamps.asp

Ok, that's about all I can think of, cya tomorrow!

October meeting

Hi Y'all,

Just a quick note about our October meeting. It was a busy one. I (Maggie) demonstrated part one of making an art doll Santa/elf sculpture. We learned a method of armature making. Hands, tools and white floral tape were flying. Then made faces (no not just at each other). There was a quick demo on making hands while our faces were baking. Then time was up. Next time (December 10th) we will hopefully put on the finishing touches. If you didn't make it to the last one please don't let it stop you from coming. I'm sure we can catch you up. I will re-post the supply list soon. Please feel free to add any comments.
