H-E-L-L-O all! or should I say Sawadika :)
Back from Thailand but still there in heart & soul! What an amazing vacation.
This beautiful, peaceful and smiling country will stay in my mind for a long time.
So different than anything I ever saw, felt and even ate before: Wonderful spicy food, amazing landscapes, changing weather, people's kindness and even shopping - A true cultural adventure.
I am certain that this trip will inspire me!

Just before I am heading to my next trip teaching in Netherlands (5 last spots in the Skyscraper class and 2 more in the Moon Rocks class), sinking in loads of work, preparations and packing, here are some goodies I've gathered for you -
 |
| Tomka's foliage |
Tomka Sorokina’s Etsy store is pleasing and colorful
containing joyous jewelry items, fun patterns and funky designs.
She designs stuff as far as she remember herself. First clothes and accessories for her dolls, fabric flowers, drawing, beading, embroidery and more...

In this polymer clay fairy feather necklace, she combines colors,
shape, impressions and antiquing. Fun!

| Painting polymer |
Mai M. Villegas is a cake topper artist from the Philippines.
In her FB she
shared her process for creating a mini painting with polymer clay, as
part of a figure holding a paint brush with an easel.
White clay is her canvas
and sculpting ball tools are her brushes!

| Denise's smiling teeth beads |
Denise Osborne posted a super cute photo of beads with
teeth!
She credit Marie Segal for the idea and the photo description tells us that the Trinity Lutheran Church thanks MDPAG (Metropolitan Detroit Polymer Art Guild) member Denise Osborne who helped along with the guild members and donated clay for creating Beads of Courage with children who enjoyed the workshop so much.

Creating a teeth cane is such a brilliant idea! These
smiling beads are so funny!!

| Leila's extruder mix and match |
Leila Bidler came up with a great idea to invent new
extruded canes combinations.
She extruded her clay through all her discs and store them baked, inside a box. This way she can try and play with them and find new exciting shapes and designs. Mix and match! Leila is a long time polymer clay artist living in Italy. You can see more of her work in her site and flickr gallery -

| Gabriel's pendants |
Michel Gabriel is a
polymer clay artist of the organic side.
Her beautiful handmade beads
seem to be antiqued, stamped, painted, twisted, carved and transferred.
Her flickr gallery is
full of magical pendants and beads hidden in a polymer clay shell.
See you soon!
Italian Francesca Di Cesare (MoKuCrea) experimented with translucent clays and shows her results in her flickr gallery. Her experiment is showing different clay types, in various curing temperatures over a sheet of book showing us it's translucency. Pardo, Kato, Cernit, Premo, Fimo - all the polymer "gang" is there.
