I'm Back and some new Polymeri Online

I'm back after almost 2 weeks i didn't post, now i feel a bit better.

Just after Rosh Hashana holiday when getting back from my son's swim class we were both hit in a traffic accident, thanks god we are ok, nothing broken, only pains and bruises that hopefully will heal soon.
Nothing prepares you to this experience, even when seeing and hearing about it over and over on TV and radio, I didn't understand what this means.
I lost my consciousness, my head was hit, parts of those moments i don't remember very well. Funny, but the only thing i was thinking about before i got into the CT scan is my artistic skills when checking my memory. Sounds totally out of place but i did think of my clay that moment. I know it's not a joke & i am not a religious person, but i feel that someone, up there, was keeping us safe and saved us that day. The car was totally ruined.

So, again, sorry for being away, i promise to be back on track and in my dear studio,
i am sure that this is the best cure for me.

I got some nice links for you this week, Just look at these beautiful mushrooms and tiny creatures in Cade's store, made of polymer clay, paper clay, sculpey & stamps

another wonderful crafted and customizable scented jewelry made by tinyhands, sweets and more sweets!

Sylvia's blog is full of great projects and a demo on how to twist a earring wire.

take care and please, drive carefully.

  6. Gosh Iris that is scary! I am sure that I am not the only one who feels this way, but it would be a great loss to the polymer clay community, should you have been hurt. I am very relieved to hear that you and your son are OK. Heal quickly and get the rest that you need. Take care my friend. ~Cindy

  9. I'm also very grateful you are both ok. It does take time to get over it though. My daughter had her car roll into a ditch while trying to avoid a car coming at her in her lane a couple of weeks ago and she's still having nightmares and lots of recovery time. Glad to see you back. Hugs and smiles

  13. I am so pleased to hear you are feeling better. My husband and I had a head-on car accident, and walked (limped) away from it last season. It took a long time after a concussion to feel my head was right, but art is a wonderful therapy. I am proof. Think positive thoughts and know now that you have the gift of empathy when you hear about another's accident. So scary. I, too, shared those same thoughts in the CT scan. Funny how this art addiction works! Bless you and yours, and I am so pleased you are mending. Hugs to you!

  14. Iris, we have never met, but your emails and blogs have shown us all what a dear and sweet person you are. You have such caring ways about you. It is obvious how sincere you are about your life , and your love for claying, and you share so much of your talents with the rest of us. What a traumatic experience this accident must have been for your family. Such wonderful news that all is well.

    Take good care,
