I have been slaving over a hot 'pasta maker' for the past week, coming up with all sorts of new
projects for you to try. Lots of thing going on this month. St. Patrick's Day, Easter, March
Break (see 'link' at bottom of page) and SPRING! Hooooooraaaaaayyyyy!
For the month of March, I am teaching classes on the most popular days from past classes.
These are Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. I am also offering a Saturday class and classes
for March Break.
For those of you who have not been to the studio before, I would like to invite you to come out
and see what polymer clay is all about. Check out the class times and dates. If they are not
suitable to your schedule, give me a call. I'm flexible, I can always work you in as long as
there is a minimum of 3 students.
Some Great News!
My "Grapevine Switch Plate' design (see pic below)
will be 'ON THE COVER' of 'Craft and Home Magazine' and one of the projects
that we are doing this month will also be in the same magazine, different issue.
I'm now officially 'published'.
As soon as I receive a copy from Polyform I'll scan it in and send
you an email with the picture.
Now Let's get on with the business of 'claying!'
Here are the brand new classes......Hope you enjoy them!

Funky Votive Candle Holder
I have had so much interest in learning how to create 'clay
millefiori canes' I have decided to teach a few classes this
month.
A 'cane' looks like a 'log' which has a clay image running
through it.
We will be doing a couple of different designs, such as a
'flower cane' and 'jelly roll cane'. You can take thin 'slices'
from the canes and add them to your glass votive. Save the
remaining canes and cover items like switch plates, beads or
even cutlery.
which we did in
February.

image running through
it.

different 'leaf canes'.
Ya Just got to love HIM!
Good Old Charlie Brown
Create this lovable character step by step with me. I just love him!
Why, you could even give him his own football. Who knows, maybe Lucy won't snatch it
away next time. Yeah, RIGHT!
Designer 'Pot-O-Bug'
Design your very own 'one of a kind' Pot-O-Bug! NO PAINT.....just CLAY!
Remember about the 'millefiori' designs? We are doing it again and applying them
to pots. Each one will be totally unique. I've done one in red and the other in
yellow, but you can choose your own colours and I'll help you with your 'millefiori
canes'.
Your Designer Bug will be the 'Talk of the Town'.
The One and ONLY........SNOOPY!
Where would Charlie Brown be without his best friend Snoopy?
Here he is, just looking around, but you can pose your Snoopy anyway you like.
Give him a couple of accessories and he's all set.
Is it a plane? Is it a train? No it's Turtle Pot Pal!
Yes, I know.....Millefiori Canes again. Well, that's just my
version of a 'cool turtle', but you can design him any way you
want. Personally, I think he looks great in 'flowers'.
'Top of the Mornin' To Ya!'
It's St. Patrick's Day so we just HAVE to make a Leprechaun.
Don't forget his pot of gold!
I'm expecting everyone who takes this class to
come prepared, wearing 'GREEN!'
Erupting Volcano!
Oooooooh......Aaaaaaaah!
That's right......it erupts! Well, it will if you 'add a little something'.
This is where we 're-cycle' stuff. Thanks to Jesse C's mom Stephanie, we have oodles
of film canisters to do this project. Thanks Steph!
Tulip Votive Candle Holder
(Not just 'any' tulip candle holder', but THE
'soon to be published' Tulip Candle Holder!
What a way to welcome Spring!
You can make this one BEFORE the magazine even comes out.
Step by step. I'll even teach you a tip using the 'spring loaded
cutters' for the petals.

Easter is coming, so let's celebrate by creating a very unique rabbit.
He 'GLOWS'
Made with Glow in the Dark Clay.......He's sure to be a 'hit' with your friends.
Give him a carrot, or give him an easter egg. It's up to you.
$15.00....snack provided.
Bunny "Jelly Bean" holder.
Make this adorable 'Candy Holder' to decorate your Easter Table.
Step by step instructions and it's a 'recycled project'.
Please save all of your 'salmon cans'....not tuna (too short).
Please take a GOOD LOOK at the 2 pictures to the left.
Do you see a difference between the 'Before and After'?
How do you think that happened Christopher S. and Colin?
Mice perhaps? I don't think SO! They ATE the props!
Mysterious Wall Hanging
See if your friends can figure out what these mysterious symbols mean.
Can you figure it out? Is it oriental? Egyptian perhaps?
I need to thank Storm Peschel for giving me this idea. He made a similar one with ink
for his mom Georgia.
Give up? See clues below.
Turned horizontally.
Who am I?
Do I have to 'spell' it out?
Bottom half covered up.
Look closely.
No, you won't be making plaques with MY name......Use your own!
