Inspiration

Visit the PCAGOE Blog and vote on your favourite polymer creation inspired by the art of some of the greats! I found it very hard to choose this month. The Scream really caught me, but then that is one of my favourite works. Lady in Waiting is exquisite, and Meditation Miniature exudes peace.

I sure admire the folks who have the discipline, talent, and organizational ability to do these challenges. One of these days....but I better get on those Christmas ornaments first!

Why We Make Art

A couple of years ago someone forwarded me an email with a link to a site called Daily Good. They send out a daily newsletter highlighting good things that are happening in the world. Wow! What a concept! At the time I was really in need of some good news, having been bombarded with all the sad things we see and read daily. I signed up for the newsletter and have enjoyed a little pick me up every day since!

One of the latest issues highlighted an interview with 7 artists who were asked why they make art. Here is the link: Daily Good

I hope you enjoy the varied perspectives and get yourselves hooked on the Good News too!

On the clay front, here is one of my latest pieces. I had a blog review my work and host a giveaway draw for one of my Mandala necklaces. The orange/yellow one is the sample I made for myself. The blue/green one is the winner's. She sent me 7 words describing sentiments that are important in her life and chose a color scheme for me to make her personal Mandala. It was a fun and rewarding experience.
