Winteryness = Sparkle and Glitz

Hi there! Where we live, we haven't been getting much of anything that feels wintery or winteresque. Very unusual for up in Northwestern Ontario. On that note, I hand selected some items in my shop (click here) and the titles above each piece for direct links ) that make me think of this time of the year.

It is never easy trying to price one's art work. At least for me it always has been. I create because I love to, every piece of work be it in two dimensions or three, has been created with great enjoyment, care and passion. Personally, I could never charge a specific amount per hour as some folks suggest, it would just cause the work to be too expensive. A question I have always been asked, especially when I focused on acrylic painting was, how long does it take you to paint a picture? My answer, never very clear because the hours cruise by without me counting them. When you love what you do, you never notice time passing. When I am loving what I am creating, I can work from morning right until bed time, taking time for lunch and supper and the bathroom (maybe, depends if I take time to drink my water.) These days as my disability dictates what I am able to do, I do have to take longer breaks and some days energy is not what it once was. But, the passion to create still flows through me.

Wanting to make my work affordable, recently I was assessing some recent pricing and because our Canadian dollar is so low, the conversion (my pieces are listed in US dollars) causes the price to increase significantly, I thought I would try to lower the cost of some of my pieces. So I hope this helps to make some of the pieces more affordable. It always helps me out if friends and other share the links to my blogs and shop and such. So please feel free to pass on this pricing article.

Autumn Is Falling

Well as happens every year, the autumn leaves have already turned those beautiful hues, russetts, crimson reds, golden yellows, an rich oranges...oh so inspiring. Inspiring enough to help me create an assortment of fall leaves out of my now favourite medium, polymer clay. Take a peak at this newly created multi variations necklace. 

As an artist, I have never been a fan of cookie cutter type art or mass production of one image. 

it is just my personal conviction that I should create original works of art, including wearable art like my polymer clay pieces. Granted, if I need to duplicate anything, it would be my own design. Each one of these leaves, were hand cut, no two are identical. Using skinner blends that I created using Premo polymer clay, I randomly, without a plan, carved the leaves out one by one. 

This particular series, was enhanced with a background of pearlized golden clay and then details embossed with a tool or two. I wanted these to be beautiful and interesting. Enhancing the textures, I dabbed on golden mica powder.

Each leaf is embedded with a jump ring so they can have a floating appearance. Below are some more photos of "FALLING."

Happily Creating,
