So, I've been computer bound for a long time.  I've tried to get in to my studio and get my hands in clay but it just hasn't been possible.  Now, I'm getting ready for a series of teaching trips and I had nothing, nothing to take with me for my students to buy.  And, students really like to have a piece of a teacher's work.  What to do?

I decided this weekend was "the" weekend, I had to fire up the pasta machine and get something made but. you know, when you haven't had studio time, starting up can be like starting from scratch.

I'd been in pod land, antiqued pods, to be exact.  And, I love them.  But, this weekend I decided I'd dive back into one of the most wonderful aspect of polymer clay - color.  Greens, oranges, violets, reds, yellows and a touch of gold because gold simply goes with everything!  You'll notice there's no blue, I'm just not a blue person.  Maybe I just veer to the warm colors, warm greens, warm violets.  To each her own, I say.

Black and white in some pieces provided the perfect third compliment.  I'm happy.  I like what I did this weekend, here are some more examples.

I'm off to Vegas, then to France and then to the Czech Republic.  I'll blog when I can!
