A box of Chocolates or the open sea and waves

Good morning everyone and yes everyday should be as though it were are last. Never take things for granted just enjoy what you have or even given in the day or night. I always like that saying life is like a box of chocolates. It's just so simple and that is how life should feel even though we all go through things in life. Somethings in life we can't just turn our backs and say Im not suppose to feel this so Im just going to ignore it. What ever the experience is we just need to embrace it. Hmmmm embrace. Know life always works out no matter what. So next don't focus on the pain of the experience. Easier said then done LOL well it takes practice and it's like the sea as the waves come to shore. When you feel your out in the open sea and the pain of it, ride the wave because you will make it to shore. We will stay out in the sea if we stay with the thoughts of what were going through. As the wave has a hold it wants to go in the direction of the shore but sometimes we allow the wave to take us and then we go so deep into the open sea of dis pare and pain and the wave still holds to us but we just don't go with it. The wave never leaves us there is always another wave. A box of chocolates are like the sea and waves. As Im going through something and a box of chocolates are handed to me. I can feel a little excitement and maybe a little smile will appear on my face. I take the box and hold it with love. As I open it my thoughts change and I wonder which choc to take. And then another thought comes and says but you might pick the one you will not like. If I choose that thought I would put the cover back on and say to myself I don't feel I want any because I just feel awful. Now I have missed and opportunity of just going through the experience with different thoughts to take away from the main thought that is painful. Even if I took a candy and I wanted to spit it out or do I take it and experience the whole rotten taste. No its easier for me to spit it out and then go for another one hoping that one will get rid of this rotten taste in my mouth LOL. Well back with just choice and what will that be I ask myself. Which one would feel better as life needs to unfold for me so I may get on with something wonderful.
I give each one of you that reads what I write a box of choc. And if you don't like choc I then give you whatever it is that you like. Now its your choice of whatever you may go through in a day or night. But no matter what just remember its all about embracing with change of thoughts.
I love you all and yesterday and today I have my box of chocolates and I will be practicing a lot of candies. My mom is now 92 and my husband and I have been with her for almost 15years. She has gone in the hospital and we are just seeing what life needs to do. Love yourself no matter what because really life is so precious. hugs

Smoothing polymer clay is an art just like sculpting. Enjoy the whole process

Baking polymer clay is important but each individual must experiment with there ovens.

A busy week but still time for my bjd

Worked on her last night and thought I would take pictures.  Today the apoxie is all dried and I will check the neck out and sand the apoxie.  Then once its fit I will dip the neck in melted wax.  Once cooled I will add some polymer clay over the wax.  Cook it once again and move on to the next.

Therapy doesn't mean there is something wrong with us.

Good morning to all of you so very precious people. Yes we are precious when you just take a deep breath and feel the life flowing through are bodies. If we didn't have that air we just wouldn't be in these bodies we hold. Im just so grateful another day and what a day it will be. First of all today is my once a month volunteering my art to Art Therapy for Children. Awhile ago when that came to my path I have observed the class's and I really got to experience that we as artist are always in therapy. Therapy doesn't mean theres something wrong with us it is a way to help guide a person to finding there selves and feeling love for who we are and where we are. Yep thats what we do also and its loving our selves. We have all been hurt in life and for me it was growing up and being in school. But now if I look back all that I thought I went through made me the person I am today. Growing up I went through I was afraid of doing something wrong and then you got booted out. I was very quite and afraid I would say the wrong thing and then not liked. I escaped to my own world of art and pretty much stayed there. It truly was the best thing I did because I no longer allowed myself to feel hurt. I hear these kids talk about what there going through and I know what they mean. But I now see it that no one does anything to us its just who we are at the time of growing up. I went through a lot of insecurities because I was taken from what I felt a secure place and it was where I was born and just started school. I remember my teacher and the kids, I loved going. I was pulled out and my parents decided to move and I left what felt so good. When we got to Florida it felt different. I didn't feel what I had that felt secure. So just from that I walked a life that said on my forehead Im scared, I don't like myself because I can't feel what I had once before. I don't regret any of it I truly now embrace it and I know that it was only me but it just all led me to who I am today. I see these kids are doing the same thing but because we are more open today these kids are finding there way quick. And I just feel so honored to be among them and to hug them and just say I love you. Im not only saying it to them but Im saying it to me and in that moment Im loving that little child that use to be me. I love all of you even though I never have met you. Who ever said we have to meet the person to love. Not in my book of life I write for me. I want to love everyone and I always will because if I stop I wont even love myself. Hugs

Baking Soda and Freezer I feel has been misused. Watch and see what I found

I really wanted to make this one as my next video because I feel this information is very important.  When using baking soda to cook your polymer clay in has always worked for me and everyone of my students as well.  What I found is that it got misused by leaving the raw clay on top of the baking soda and not cooking it till later. Polymer clay has oil and we don't want to loose all the oils if so you will have major problems.  Cornstarch can do the same anything that absorbs.  When I cook it I only use the soda to absorb moisture thats it.  Polymer clay doesn't like moisture and I feel some brands have more moisture then others.  If you should sculpt on a day that is humid or damp  I found you sculpt it into the clay. Now about the taking clay out of hot oven and putting in cold.  I have found by having a controlled temperature you have a much better chance of it not cracking.  I explain that in the video. I do not believe the cold makes the clay stronger.  Hope you enjoy!
