Sandy Camp

The pictures from Sandy Camp 2006, annual retreat of the San Diego PC Guild, offer quick visual tutorials and glimpses of new polymer clay work. They also put faces with the names we've become accustomed to reading about.

See Marie Segal's bright gradations (and wild fingernails), Syndee Holt's painted polymer, Cassy Muronaka's lentil bead demo, Kathi Gose's complex cane and a whole lot more. The link comes to us via Maggie Maggio and Kim Kennedy.

Queen of Halloween

by Cynthia Tinapple on October 24, 2006 · 0 comments

Alli Amann wins hands down for the queen of polymer clay on Halloween. Don't go to her site unless you are truly in the mood. It's very scarey and very good.

I don't understand this genre but I do very much admire it. Amann has degrees in fine arts and make-up and years of experience in a wide range of the arts.

Experimenting

by Cynthia Tinapple on October 23, 2006 · 3 comments

Ponsawan Sila is from Thailand and Indianapolis. She has a charming web site and though she is relatively new to polymer she has a great touch and a nice sense of color.

A purse maker asked her to make buttons for her one-of-a-kind creations and she came up with the lovelies pictured here.

By experimenting with so many techniques, Ponsawan is bound to develop her style and find success. It'll be fun to watch her grow.

Local illustrator

by Cynthia Tinapple on October 20, 2006 · 4 comments

We've got another polymer clay illustrator to add to our list and she's from my home town. Don't know how I missed her before.

Jeanette Canyon has created award-winning illustrations for three childrens books for Dawn Publications. Her work is complex and her abundant use of pattern, color and texture is engrossing. And I love seeing her at her work space.
