Polymer Clay Again....

Another class I taught.....This time we put together 5 signatures, sewed them to a canvas spine and I designed a pattern for the front and back cover that we then put together.....It was a full 5 hr class and we had more laughs..... so relaxing...

for Annie

i painted this on a re-purposed popcorn box that i covered with brown paper tape....i did it in less than an hour for my grand daughter Annie...she loves the blue star glittery hair....i wanted to give her something special today because she was sooo nervous about attending 2nd grade at a new school..... she looked so cute.. i wish i had taken a picture of her in her new school outfit......they grow sooo fast...

Beads

here are the beads the girls made in the class i taught this past saturday....they loved it and so did i.... i really like how these beads turned out....i don't wear jewelry much but i think i would wear these..... ;)

Playing with Polymer Clay

I am teaching another simple polymer clay class in a few days and this is what we are doing....some beads to use in a necklace or a bracelet.......love playing with clay.....boy my work area is a messy mess......i am now off to clean some romano beans that i just picked from the garden........they are yummy!!!!!

Question...

I have just about finished a 30x40 picture for my grand daughter and would like some suggestions on what i should use as a finishing coat to protect it....It is a mixed media piece....I am not sure what to use....I love the beeswax finish but think this painting is too large for it.....Suggestions please.....
