Important announcement!  We are having our next meeting on November 16th due to scheduling conflicts created by the Thanksgiving holiday.  We are also starting at 10:00 instead of our usual 12:00. 

October QCC meeting

Today at 1:53 PM

Hi Y'all,

Time flies and all that.  I have missed an unprecedented 2 QCC meetings and am looking forward to seeing you all.  I have also volunteered to demo a disc pendant.  It is seasonal (Halloween) themed.   The supply list is: Your regular clay kit, Black and gold clay, small amount of copper, white and glow in the dark (if you have any).  Hand drill with really small bits. Round cutters 2-1/2"dia. Plastic wrap or deli wrap. Really tiny Flat back glass crystals in ss6 or ss10.  Don't worry if you don't have everything.  I have crystals, wrap, cutters, glow in the dark clay and drills we can share. 

See you there,

Maggie

September Meeting

Hi Everyone,

  Our next Meeting is fast approaching and I thought we'd have fun making some petite food. This book has some great ideas and has the basics  and great tips to get started. With the tutorials on youtube and Pinterest,  I've been having a blast looking at all of the sites with miniature food. 

Here is the Supply List

Basic PC kit 

Conditioned Polymer Clay:   one pack:  burnt umber, ecru, cadmium red, white, then  1/4 pack cadmium yellow, translucent, pearl, and green

 needle tool

stippling tool,

safety pin or straight pin,

 a toothpick

double-ball stylus

tissue blade, razor blade, utility knife

small round paintbrushes

soft pastels chalk

Liquid Polymer Clay

 And last but not least head pins. So we can make our finished products into earrings or items we can place on a bracelet.

  Half of our members will be at the Kathleen Dustin Class with the Blue Ridge Polymer Clay guild, hope they learn a lot and have fun, we'll miss them.

August meeting supply list

Thank you to everyone that e-mailed to help with demo-ing for the meeting.  

Pattie will be Demo-ing image transfers. And Kathy might be able to demo photography & editing.

The supply list would be:

- Small ( approximately 1 ½ x 1 ½ inch )  TONER based or LAZER copies.   INKJET COPIES DO NOT WORK!!

-  Light colored clay (pearl, white or translucent)

-  Small, flat paint brush (or you can use your finger)

- Witch hazel, if you have it.  But, I have plenty for all of us.

I also will bring extra copies in case someone can’t get toner or laser copies.

August 24th Meeting

Hello everyone,

It's time for our next August meeting next Saturday. And I was wondering if anyone wanted to do the Demo for the group? I've injured my neck and have been having some right shoulder and arm pain was hoping someone would volunteer. Please give me a call or e-mail me if you'd like to do the Demo and please send the supply list and I'll post for the group. If there is not a Demo then we'll just do some claying around. So bring your current project to work on.  Maggie said to tell all Hello since she has another obligation and will not be able to join us.  

Have a great week see ya next Saturday.

Cheryl

P.S Congrats to our very own Julie Eakes, for her wonderful DefLt artwork shown on Polymer Clay Daily this week!
