One test completed next to be started

So far after 24hrs of drying the water lily is doing well.  Here in these pictures I'm showing the steps and going to give the back side the same coating as the first.

It's been awhile and thought

I would post something here in my blog.  As we all know life changes all the time.  Instead of resisting by staying with the change with feelings of dis pare. It's so much easier just going with the flow but always remember you and everyone will get through it.  Just make it easier by not fighting it with negative thoughts.  My moms care has increased and I have just enough time to keep class's going that have been scheduled.  By the end of my day I'm pretty well finished and I'm taking the time to just be with me. Not feeling to stay up and create like I had been.
This morning as I took my walk I noticed I had my first white water lily.  Been waiting for it to bloom so I could try some experiments.  Here below in the pictures is what I tried and at this point I don't know when the flower dries what it will do.  I take many flowers or leaves and I will use many different mediums to capture different texture. I strive for lots of different textures for my polymer clay dolls.  I think it tones the bulky look clay can have.  Creating clothing, shoes, hats and I have even made stockings for my dolls at one time. Creating is unlimited and never should anyone stop.  Keep going it will lead you into another idea.

Check this video out on making eyes

I wanted to share this video with many of you.  Chelsea from Crafty Craftin made this tutorial.  This is a must to watch.  What another great idea.  If you  haven't subscribe to her youtube channel you might consider doing so. It's free!!! and shows you step by step.

Have taken two months off but still here

Hi everyone, haven't been here very much. Just felt to stop in and say hello and unfortunately my mom has been in and out of the hospital. At the moment she is now home with us and just making her as comfortable as we can. My mom has had Afib and the reasons she has been in and out of the hospital they can't seem to regulate her blood pressure. Either to high or way to low. We all take each day as it comes. Im still active with giving class's but I am taking two months off. Im thankful when I booked them that I planned my two months off at the right time. Been spending all my time here with her. Can't really take her out wish I could but she gets so tired. I did get some coloring books and we color together that seems to help switch her thoughts onto something else. I cant get her to sculpt never could LOL. Been cooking things we haven't had in a long time and she has really enjoyed that. We also just watch Grumpy Old Men and 2 and a lot of I love Lucy LOL. Well I need to go make breakfast. I hope everyone of you are well and enjoying life like there is no tomorrow everyday. I also pulled out my bjd and been looking for her torso LOL. I some how have misplaced it or my cat thought it was a toy. Yes she is my pest and love her even though she thinks my art are toys. I might have to make another torso but I will look around some more before I do so. Have a wonderful weekend and always create something... hugs

Yes, Yes I love making wings

Oh its good to be here and I have another fun tutorial for all of you to try out or share with friends.  I do have a confession and that is for a very long time I never enjoyed making wings for my polymer clay dolls.  I was never happy but I made them until I kept trying out just about everything I had in my kitchen to everything I might find outside.  I have never stopped exploring and till this day my thoughts are always opened for something a little different.  I hope all of you will enjoy this one and even explore more with it and come up with more ideas.  One idea only branches to another and another and another.  Sharing is expansion to thought.

Play Play Play, Expand Expand Expand, you will never feel stuck

Hi everyone!  Im sharing with all of you just something I played around with yesterday after class.  In this experiment I'm still using real cleaned leaves.  But my mediums are different.  I'm not only one who loves to sculpt but I love to experiment.  I love creating and making things different.  I get way to bored if I just keep using the same methods and the same style with certain mediums. When I sculpt I have many methods not just one.  I found this to be very helpful for me that is because doing one method all the time I kept making the same things over and not changing.  I know it may sound weird to some but it works for me and not only me I found it to be very open when having a class.  I could have a class of eight lets say and out of the eight I found in each one they were all different.  One understood it one way and another something else.  So, all my crazy methods of sculpting has truly come in handy to share and to expand in this creative world we live in.  If any of you would like to discuss anything I may post please feel free to do so.  Remember we are all co- creators when we share.

Love using these real leaves and this one is the Pebeo Prisme Fantasy Paints

Hi everyone yes popping in for a bit. Been real busy as usual. Some of you wanted to see the wings with the Pebeo Prisme Fantasy paints. So, I put one together for you to see and then you can see if its something you would like to try yourself. I just did a commission piece using these paints for wings and I have to say they are the most gorgeous paints. Its a real short video and its pictures but you will see what they can look like. Thank you everyone and hope all are creating.
