Clay Days Rock!!

We had another fantastic day of playing with clay! I enjoyed working with very competent students and we created some beautiful pieces. I am ashamed to say that i do not have any pictures to share with you. I was hoping that my students would sent me photos of them strutting in their works of art. Sadly, i received none...:( Oh well! Anyway, we learned the ancient technique of Mokume Gane. It was amazing to me how fabulous and unique each piece was. I am constantly in awe of the variety that emanates from one class all using the same technique. What wonderful works of art!
Planning for a June Class! More information to come!
Blessings!

As per usual, all of the tools that you will need will be provided, however, if you are an intermediate student and have tools, beads, clay that you have become comfortable with or would like to employ, please feel comfortable bringing them.

Class Description:
Your tuition will afford you the necessary supplies and tools to create a beautiful, fashionable set of jewelry valued at $50. Create this piece for yourself or for someone you love.

I hate to break it to you!!

I had a wonderful time hanging out with the Championship bowlers this weekend at Bridge City Bowl in O'town. I met some "Spicy" gals and enjoyed sharing my wearable art with them. They took advantage of the first time unveiling of my newest collection called "Riches". The problem is that now i need to get busy building up my inventory again. This new Collection is so much fun. Each piece is composed of coin like disks that connect to each other creating a regal quality that inspires envy. As this collection develops, you will see reversible pieces that emerge, like the piece below, which allow the wearer to rock two looks in one fabulous piece. Keep your eyes open for the newest pieces in coming posts and shows. I hate to break it to you all, but the pieces you see here were purchased before i could get them posted. As i always say, "Get them while you can!"

Digging Out From the Snowpocolyps!



We were hit with the one two punch of ice and snow! I have a 3 to 4 foot drift on my back porch! it took my father-in-law 45 minutes to blade the driveway with his tractor!! It normally take less than 15 minutes! That's a lot of snow! The good thing is that we got 2 snow days and counting! My husband just received word that he has a snow day, too! This is the best day ever!

Snow Day Feast!


Here are a few more of my polymer clay creations. Enjoy this feast for the eyes!

This is one of a series called "Strut" that showcases the rich jewel-tones of the fashion forward Peacock Feather. Keep your eye on the runways, peacocks are all the rage! Could you "Strut" your stuff in this one of a kind statement piece?

Natural yet modern... This necklace is a one-of-a-kind wonder of color and style. It respectfully nods to the organic form of coral yet commands attention with a modern twist.
One of a series called "Serengeti Skies" with luminous blues and earthen browns, this piece creates the illusion of light. It's structure creates the perfect framing effect of the face.

Titled "Revere", this two tiered necklace with its illusion of stained glass and versatile blend of color begs to be envied.

A wonderful blend of reds lends itself to many options in your wardrobe.

Sorry gang, this piece is already spoken for. But I thought you might enjoy the vibrancy it had to offer. Titled "Spicy", it screams for attention.

Something to Warm You Up!

Please enjoy these pieces from my newest color study. My inspiration came form my own longing for cool spring days with fresh breezes, and how God blends together the colors of spring. The greens of spring are unique to the season of rebirth and I feel a sense of impatient anticipation at the thought of springs gentle breezes mingled with delicate sun kisses and baby fresh greens. Looking out the window jars me back to reality, but it is still nice to look forward to the blessings beyond the 4 inches (and counting) of snow and ice. Have fun perusing and if you see something you like, contact me.... sayziegler@pcsia.net.
