When life is complex, I gravitate to simple polymer clay pleasures and designs. This bowl made of extruded strings of color looks playful and fun. It’s from France’s Terre d’Effa. I was cruising for pictures and didn’t translate the text. Let me know if you come across her name. (It’s Fabienne…thanks Miss Tempo.)
Often I head to another culture when I’m bored with my own point of view. French artists have a way of handling the clay with less restraint and fewer rules. Take a little foreign adventure.
Speaking of foreign adventure, Dan Cormier and Tracy Holmes have dipped a toe in Canadian blog water. It’s just an intro page but it’s a very necessary start. Write them to get on their list and encourage them to add much, much more.
Read Judy Belcher’s final Synergy thoughts and thank-you’s. If you attended, you can help NPCG plan its next event by filling out the evaluation survey.

Well, she calls herself Effa – that’s all I could find. Terre d’Effa translates to Effa’s world – so I guess its her name – at least her nickname;)
Good to see Dan and Tracy finally started with the website – I’m really curious.
I enjoyed Judy’s report and thoughts – great article, Thank you Judy!

Bettina, I was going to say excatly the same…I would translate it more as “Effa’s place”. Her blog has some excellent photos and so on.

That bowl does look lovely. The colors are fresh and relaxing and the clay looks natural.

Dear Cynthia,
Just one day has passed since you gave us and our new website a mention on this wonderful (and obviously broadly-read) blog of yours. When we uploaded that first page (and yes, more will folllow soon), when we quielty said, “Hellooo…?” to the world, we truly had no idea who would hear us, or answer us, and from where. Well, we just wanted to say thank you to the very many individuals who’ve been in touch with us already, from all over the globe, via this new ‘triple w” portal we’ve finally opened, to welcome us, to congratulate us, and to encourage us with their anticipation of more. It’s amazing…
For that, and for your (polymerclay)daily support and encouragement, we are truly grateful.
Dan & Tracy
