These twinkling polymer clay luminaria by Sylvie Peraud (Fimo Maniguette) amuse me. I’m tired from a festive weekend and have no words to explain why flipping these lights on and off makes me smile so much.
A quick trip through Sylvie’s Flickr pages may help you start your week playfully. No judgment, no words. Just fun.

Jana Lehmann doesn’t have her Christmas cards in the mail yet. She got sidetracked making these festive polymer pens! These nicely shaped wooden ballpoints were begging for holiday decoration.
Her rationale is that,”Filling in a form, writing a shopping list, signing a contract – all these can be special events now.”
On her new website Jana shares pictures of her little corner workspace. You can take a closer look at her collection on her Flickr pages. Enjoy and have a weekend filled with special events.

Take a sneak peek and be the first to shop at the IPCA Synergy2 exclusive online gallery! Exhibit chairman Marcia Laska has been gathering polymer clay work for the February conference. The exhibit celebrates the joys of collaborating, mixing media, experimenting and astonishing. She predicts that nearly 60 pieces will be included when all the artwork is in.
Choosing one piece to feature out of the 38 here was too tough. Instead I constructed a page of thumbnails that will lead you to the whooooole batch of fabulous delights. Click on the images for the details on each. Check the gallery page often, I’ll add more as the art arrives.
Even if you can’t attend Synergy2 you have the opportunity to own a spectacular piece. Anyone is welcome to purchase these works. Marcia explains how on the IPCA site.
Can’t afford your favorite? Enjoy owning a fine print of each of them by buying the catalogue that will be available for $25 (no shipping) in Baltimore. The catalogue will also be available online (with shipping).
Enjoy this visual treat that I hope will tempt you to add Synergy2 to your 2010 calendar.

Ginny Henley has been busy making polymer clay fish ornaments for her family. These are fish with attitude and color and style. The yellow one here is carrying a purse. Another has glasses.
Wouldn’t you love to be there when her relatives open their gifts?
You can see more of her “school” on her Flickr site and see her jewelry work here.
Bobbins with a twistSusan Lomuto spotted Tina Wade’s polymer bobbin rings on Crafthaus. It’s fun to see how Tina tweaked the design with some ingenious construction.
