Clay clay wonderful clay


Finger bones necklaces made for drama performance -
for a witch doctor and his mini sidekick - made from polymer clay

Back to the wonders of being creative without talent. How much I enjoy playing with polymer clay - all the more inspired by a wonderful polymer clay group meeting every couple of months to help, encourage and teach each other.

My wonderful friend, Kerrie is fast becoming a polymer clay expert. From humble beginnings in her own home just messing about with the media I first asked her if she would be willing to do a party for a group of 13 year olds. Bearing in mind that we met as therapists doing a Christmas party for a local childrens hospice, I can't even remember how we got onto the subject of clay.

She nervously agreed to oblige me and entertain my daughter and four friends and a keen mother in February. We had a wonderful time - the party went over by several hours because we all got so emersed in creating.

Now Kerrie does teaching workshops for Stich n Craft and is very good at it too! She started the East Dorset Polymer clay group and has so far hosted each meeting. I will happily have people here in my summer house at some stage.

This inspired me to get going on some projects before my first meeting so that I had a show and tell to bring along. I also learn loads in that meeting as Kerrie taught us how to make very basic flower canes.

I am now determined to get going on the next project as the winter evenings are starting to draw in. My outside in the garden time is becoming limited.

The clocks go back and the polymer clay will come out.
