I picked up PolymerCafe' magazine the other day and I was so excited to see one of my most favorite clay artists had an article about her AND a tutorial on how to make one of her pieces! Her name is Dawn Schiller. If you haven't seen her work, don't miss out on her makings. You can find her here at oddfae... this site has all her web addy's, etsy and many good things to check out. Check out the mag too!
Well. I'm going to try the tutorial! EEP! I've only made little miniature cakes and donuts, this is going to be a bit further out of my comfort zone. That's ok though. Trying new things is good! If I could just get my perfectionism out of the way. UGH! I love her pieces and thought it would be a hoot to have little goblins and elves peeping out of cute places in my home. She has some books I'm excited to get as well. Starting with Clancy and getting my feet wet in the world of polymer clay should be a good start for me. Here's Clancy....
She gives step by step instructions...I do think I can do it! I don't have access to the form she uses and I'm too impatient to wait for an order to come, so I'll find something to put his cute little face on. I'm off to the craft store to pick up some polymer clay and hopefully, working on it this weekend, I'll have a cute little man's face and a desire to do more. Yay! Excited!!!!
Looks like a fun project! Just by looking at the photo, it seems like the instructions are really detailed and will be easy'ish to follow. Can't wait to see Clancy!
