Not only a great way to use extra branches, but also scrap clay that you really don't consider scrap cause it's too nice, but can't part with it. Love, love, love, your idea!

We recently lost a very large tree to a wind storm, and we have sticks aplenty. I would never have thought of using them artistically, until now.

I always have scrap ends of polymer clay canes and bits and pieces left over---now I know what to do with them---besides making beads. By the way Cynthia, your site is one of the very first and favorites that I check into daily---so very inspirational and informative. A big thankyou for taking the time to do this-I, for one, appreciate your efforts!

My branches, found driftwood which handily is debarked, aren't very large and fit into a convection oven. I should have some pics up next week or so, beads and shells to add....Gosh the FUN we're having!!lol I use branches too, for marine (fish, starfish, shell) mobiles and also for ‘driftwood’ art with shells and beach glass suspended.

I have got to see her in action at the NWPCG's Clay Camp a few years back and had the opportunity to buy one of her Cat pins. I get so many compliments when ever I wear it. It is one of my favorite pieces. I love Susan’s work. I have got to see her in action at the NWPCG’s Clay Camp a few years back and had the opportunity to buy one of her Cat pins.
