I’m excited to be part of the CraftCast Master Workshop series created and hosted by Alison Lee. 
On October 20th I’ll be giving a class on Creative Sparks and I can guarantee we’ll have alot of fun along with good converstaion and ideas and techniques that you can use in your art life.
Please join us! Here’s the link to read more: www.craftcast.com/masterclass.html
I’ll have alot of ideas to share with you on some “tricks” to getting yourself in that studio when you either don’t feel like it OR you have the desire but not the focus (my problem at the moment). Alison has a geat post on her site www.craftcast.com with other topics we’ll be focusing on.
For me- this week is about cracking open and facing the scary white page of a LARGE new sketchbook I bought to document a new creative journey I am about to embark on. This new work is the result of alot of thinking, thinking, thinking I did this summer about what I want to be making. I hope to share the journey with you over the coming year!

There is a wonderful new book in the 500 series: 500 Handmade Books : Inspiring Interpretations of a Timeless Form.
The pictures of books made from every conceivable material are truly inspiring. I haven’t yet had time to sit and savor every page slowly but I see that several book artists using polymer clay (including myself) have work pictured- check it out- its filled with great ideas!

It’s good to be home but I am already dreaming and planning for the workshops in France in July 2009. I’ve just posted the 2009 info and hope you will consider joining me in the future. Its a very special part of France and I would love to share it with you!
I had many weeks there without a studio to work in- while we were camping etc.- but I did do a daily sketch of something that I saw that struck me design or art-wise and it was a good discipline. This small sketchbook has provided me with not only a great remembrance of what I saw and did, but a possible resource for new work. I’ll keep you posted on that. Anxious to get back to making things as soon as I crawl out from under the pile of mail etc.
