Clay?? What's that?

I haven't done much clay this summer because I've been away from home a lot. Visits with my mother in Pennsylvania, an emergency trip to Arizona to help out my dad, a great vacation in Newfoundland, and now I have an adorable, time-consuming puppy!! You can see impossibly cute pictures of the baby plus a post about the Newfoundland trip on my blog.

I did get to take an interesting clay workshop with Ronna Sarvas Weltman at Polymer Clay Express in Maryland and I taught my guild members how to make my "fancy hat" Bottles of Hope at our August meeting.

Salut/Hello!

From violette, vio and vioiv. I spent the summer claying and completed a bunch of bottles of hope. In other words, I got to play around with all kinds of surface techniques, had fun with moulds and stamps, and used up some old canes.

De violette, vio et vioiv. J'ai fimoté tout l'été, le projet principal étant de faire des bouteilles de l'espoir. Ça m'a permi de jouer avec des techniques de surface, d'utiliser mes moules et des étampes, et j'ai aussi travaillé avec de vieilles canes.



It was cool here (Chicoutimi QC) which made it great for claying. Once I finished that project, I made some books. Here is one of them.

Puisque la température a été fraîche tout l'été, le travail avec la pâte a été agréable. Une fois le projet "bouteilles" terminé, j'ai assemblé des livres.

Here's hoping that this clayamie blog will have a long and fruitful life!
J'espère que ce blog mettant en vedette les clayamies aura une longue vie fructueuse!
