Polymer Clay For A Cause

Today I found out about a great store on Etsy.com. It's called "Polymer Clay For A Cause".
http://www.PolymerClayforaCause.etsy.com

Angela started her store in honor of her daughter, Courtney. Courtney was an artist at heart, but Muscular Dystrophy wouldn't let her create things on her own. Angela found a way to make Courtney's art happen. Courtney would tell Angela stories and Angela would make the characters out of polymer clay. It became their passions.

Courtney passed away at 14. Now Angela honor's her daughter's love of art through "Polymer Clay For A Cause". All proceeds are donated to children's charities.

Angela accepts art pieces as donations to sell in the store. So all you artists our there, perhaps you could donate something for a worthy cause. How about it?

Not an artist? No problem. Stop by the store and buy a great piece of art and help support the charities.

If you don't do anything else, please help spread the word about this great cause.

Welcome to my new blog home!!


Welcome to the new digs! I thought it was time for a new look and a new home, so here we are.

And I guess we should get right to down to it. What have I been doing while you were patiently waiting on a new post? Honestly, nothing productive. LOL But I'm being busy now.

I just started a new doll. Her name is "She Who Gathers Tears". Her main form is going to be out of this awesome root that I found. I have clipped and shaped the root ball until I have this form to begin with.

She stands on her own and has been covered with several coats of lacquer to protect her and prevent flaking. (cause you all know how embarrassing it is to have flakes!)

I'm working on her face today. Hopefully I'll get a photo of that up tomorrow. (crosses her fingers and toes)

So that's where I'm at right now. I want to thank you all for sticking with me for my down time. And thanks to everyone that is visiting for the first time too! Make your self comfortable and stay awhile!
