I am off to Atlanta for the opening of a Polymer Retrospective Show (which features many pieces from my collection) this weekend. If you are in the area or a fan of last minute air fare deals- hope you can stop by.

Colorful Week…

Posted on April 7, 2011May 31, 2011 by admin

My week on the Outer Banks was absolutely wonderful. It will take a long time to digest and process everything I learned. And what an incredibly talented group of artists is was= Leslie Blackford, Judy Belcher, Julie Piccarello,Tammy Honamann, Sandra McCaw, Sara Shriver, Cynthia Tinapple, Robert Dancik, Dayle Doroshow, Wendy Malinow, Seth Saverick and Jeff Dever.

I am very much looking forward to seeing how this experience enhances everyone’s future work.

Sandra McCaw (who is a very talented photographer) captured this picture of myself and Jeff Dever sharing samples from above.

Colorful Adventure…

Posted on March 25, 2011 by admin

My bags are packed and I am excited to be off for an adventure on The Outer Banks in North Carolina = a week of collaboration/pasta machine round table(s). I will in the company of a dozen outstanding polymer clay artists and am looking forward to seeing just what evolves as we brainstorm together.

Over the years I have visited the Outer Banks over twenty times (first time= 1965), so it will be interesting to see how things have changed and what has remained the same.

Colorful Cocktails…

Posted on March 9, 2011March 11, 2011 by admin

I love the subtle colors found in exquisite wines and champagnes- as one can almost already guess at the delights of the senses to follow. There are dozens of colorful cocktails ranging from the Tequila Sunrise to Pismo Sour. Usually one doesn’t examine cocktails under a microscope- Research scientist Michael Davis, Florida State University, crystallizes the cocktails on a lab slide, then photographs them using a camera attached to a light microscope.

At Bevshots, one can buy posters and coasters of these intriguingly colorful images, pictured here is a German Pilsner. There is an online quiz you can take here to explore your intuition in regards to the crystalized images of your favorite cocktails here. Note: the wine pairing question is a little tricky = don’t get inventive, Pinot Noirs, Champagnes and dry Rose would also be great pairings. Continue reading “Colorful Cocktails…” →

It is always delightful to receive emails and photo links from artists around the world that have been inspired my Confident Color DVD and workshops. This polymer clay journal with a polymer cover from Sabine Spiesser in Australia is quite lovely. Thank you for sharing.
