Polymer Pendants from Staci Rose 2008-03-26 18:44:00 It's a new endeavor of an old love...I used FIMO when it first hit the market. Most of the pieces I sold or gave away - I have only a few beads, and two pendants I just didn't have the heart to let go of left from those days.Fast forward to a day I feel compelled to work with clay but can't get to a ceramic studio and don't have the fingers to use FIMO classic - working out the hard, finger-gnarling clay. I found FIMO soft! I bought a few colors to test it out and now have a nice collection, create my own colors by mixing, AND serve the Muse by creating some sculptured jewelry!I was extremely pleased to see that Peggy, of Lucky Girl Trading Co and fellow Etsy artist, had written a very nice feature about these new pendants on her blog Lucky Girl Trading Co. - Make Every Day Your Lucky D Read more:Polymer

Odds and Ends and Such! 2008-03-28 05:52:00 Sometimes I am delightfully reminded that art is everywhere. Sometimes, good vibes are sent zooming in your direction without ever asking. Sometimes, you find these things in the last place you might look.I was very happy to see Torrie Smiley's Etsy Treasury, filled with beautiful works of art and craft. Lifetime's of skill, talent, hard work, and even one of my gemstone bracelets!
I Love Jason Robert Brown! 2008-03-31 04:13:00 I have never heard of him before Alysa Merle's Etsy Treasury. She and her daughter are big fans of his music - and he is quite an accomplished composer, pianist, and singer. According to his official website:JASON ROBERT BROWN has been hailed as "one of Broadway's smartest and most sophisticated songwriters since Stephen Sondheim" (Philadelphia Inquirer), and his "extraordinary, jubilant theater music " (Chicago Tribune) has been heard all over the world, whether in one of the hundreds of productions of his musicals every year or in his own incendiary live performances.It's just a taste, but here's a YouTube video of a performance he did at Eton University in New York:But, what made me happier, was seeing the wonderful artists she chose and she included a pair of my gemstone earrings!

Life Gets in the Way & Two Great Gals! 2008-04-11 01:58:00 ¡Mi Dios! ¡No puedo utilizar mis manos! ¡Soy tan joven! ¿Qué ha sucedido a mi vida?Diva, 9x12" Oil on Canvas PaperHi. My name is Staci and it's been nine days since my last post. My life feels like a soap opera but not as interesting...I just hate it when life gets in the way. For those of you just tuning in, the joints in my hands and arms have been sore and weak and it's causing me pain. They think it's arthritis (yeah! ...oh, wait.) and they've given me medication to help stop the deterioration, but it will take one to three months to kick in. And, as a side-effect, I could go blind. I'm also going nuts - thank goodness I still have a sense of humor!So, I actually got a good smile on my face yesterday; two wonderful artists created Etsy Treasuries and included some of my work Read more:Great

When I Grow Up...I Want Be a Potter 2008-04-13 01:41:00 And, really, don't we all. I mean, after seeing the movie Ghost, I think that did it for most women in America if not the entire movie watching world...I first started working with clay when I was in High School. I had four classes my senior year, all Advanced English, Advanced History, blah blah, and Ceramics! I had to drag myself up to the school at 8am and it was my first class of the day. And it was great! I loved the handbuilding methods and the abundant creativity it allowed me! Our teacher had been a potter for years and had an excellent attitude, and I enjoyed hanging out at the back of the table with the other artsy weirdos like me.Fast forward to an AWFUL break-up...it lasted just about as long as our relationship. Did I say AWFUL?!! I had a need to pund something that wo Read more:Potter

Some Framed Goodies! 2008-04-17 17:15:00 Attention! I created some new picture frames and am extremely excited to share them with you! For these frames, I had different inspirations.1. The pieces themselves (I felt very clever and had a ton of fun using the glass pieces as bubbles for the drink!)2. I also thought of one of my dearest friends and decided to create a Curious George picture frame. I love that girl and she loves Curious George!3. A request I get a lot! Camping, hiking, outdoor sports are loved and those memories look fabulous in a frame like this one.

$25 and Under - Something for All! 2008-04-26 23:28:00 I have been sucking on matzoh for quite some time now (don't get me wrong...Passover is my favorite holiday. what better thing to celebrate than 'once we were slaves and now we are free'?!!) , but there's been A LOT of matzoh and not a lot of variety. But, I was happily surprised to hear from Samantha of Anam Cara Candles. I love this girrl and just the thought of her delicious candles made me feel better!She created a fabulous treasury featuring excellent artists and their affordable work...cuz' let's face it, the economy right now ain't so hot, but needs and wants don't always change as quickly.

Another May Edition - So Many Happy Flowers and Colors 2008-05-05 23:21:00 Today was not a good day. I've had an unexplained pain off and on for over a year and a half. My doctors have run blood tests, ECG, Xray - you name it! The pain is so severe, it makes me cry. It's sharp and feels like someone has harpooned me through the right side of my chest...and it doesn't go away for an hour or two. I try to focus on my breathing, but in the end I'm exhausted, spent and I get the hiccups for a week or so. But, today was a little different! My doctor came up with a hypothesis! She thinks have a pinched nerve between my ribs! I'm not that thrilled about the prognosis - BUT I HAVE A PROGNOSIS! For those of you not falling apart piece by piece, this is a big deal. So, we'll work on it...In the meanwhile, I was filled with warm fuzzies when I saw Marie's newest E Read more:Edition

Artistic Inspiration 2008-05-20 20:52:00 Inspiration comes from many places and it varies from artist to artist.

Customer Care Counts 2008-05-28 22:42:00 It's a lost art. In a world where people relate to each other through computer screens and never see someone's facial expressions or hear someone's vocal tones, relationships can be confusing and awkward. Customer

In other words, it looks good and you can use it for practical or impractical applications: jewelry, furniture, pottery, felting, etc.I also have a love and appreciation for the hard-working, wonderful artists
