New Tutorial
I just unleashed a new tutorial on the unsuspecting public: Faux Gaspeite. Isn’t it pretty? It comes to us courtesy of Jenny Cox of Kind Clay. It’s a pretty simple technique, as far as fauxs go, but so nice-looking. But then, I’m a sucker for anything green… I’ve got at least three more tutorials in […]

I got a pile of sewing and claying done since yesterday, and you can see all of it in this picture! First, last night, I used my favorite fabric from the Freshcut collection and made a wraparound skirt from the Sew What book. I’m really happy with it, it was relatively easy, and I will […]

Anybody interested in sharing some opinions with me? As you may know, I have been playing around with polymer clay posies. The six to the left are my first batch.

This morning Neil suggested that I check out some garage sales for interesting things to sew or dye. Sounded like a good idea to me, so off I went. I only hit 5 sales and didn’t have any luck finding anything of interest until the last place. There on the ground, in a little ziplock […]

Look what just hopped into my lap this afternoon… Cat lovers and Christi Friesen fans alike will be happy to hear that CF’s fourth Beyond Projects book is now available. Like the three installments before it, this project book is a fun read – CF is just really funny! I’m not a sculptor, but I […]
