Polymer Clay Beer Bottle Openers
Originally uploaded by Iris Mishly - איריס משלי.

1st holiday is over, Rosh Hashana is behind us and so does all the craft fairs, they were all wonderful yet difficult, i am not used to standing 12 hours in one place, that can be tough, but don't get me wrong, i am not complaining!

Here is something i made for my holidays sales, some funny & colorful beer bottle openers, they are all look suprized and their eyes rounded, maybe they partied too much! :) Don't take it as if we need to drink all year! LOL

I wish all my friends to have a great 2009-2010 year, a peaceful & enjoyable year, lot's of artistic advetures and creations.

L'shanah tovah!

( The traditional Rosh Hashanah greeting is: "L'shanah tovah" in Hebrew. it means "for a good year".)

Celebration of Colors

when i held the book "Polymer clay color inspirations" in my hand i knew this book will stay next to my bed shelf, and if i read if before i go to sleep, i'll have colorful dreams - don't we all want colorful magical dreams?

If you want to dive into the world of color, this is the book for you.

It's is THE guide for making successfull color schemes, analyze your personal color preferences and get plenty of inspiration from the masters themselves (all of them!)
The book is divided into 10 chapters, which are all about understanding, finding, choosing, mixing, playing and exploring color.

Projects, questionnaires , ideas, excersises, tips, galleries - all chosen carfully by Lindly, Maggie and the production team. Graphic design of the book is also making you keep looking and looking - wonderful work!

I loved the personal spotlight column that gives us a glimpse into the great artists choices so inspiring and vibrant.

With all this knowledge and endless information, the spectrum is at your feet (or hands maybe :)
