Las Vegas Polymer Clay Guild September Challenge Pieces

If like me you are still Blog Hopping and looking for my Bead Soup Click Here.


Somehow, September got away from me. 

I missed the monthly LVPCG meeting because I was sick so this is late 

but better late than never right?
(LVPCG What is that you ask: The Las Vegas Polymer Clay Guild)

Here are the entries for the September Challenge-

"A Stitch in Time"

First Marty Oroark made a wonderful little sculpture of Betsy Ross whose stitches became our very own American Flag. 

She also sent me a photo I just have to share of a Caroler- 

not for the challenge but a great inspiration for Holiday items.  

Don't miss all the tiny details in this one like the little dog hiding under her  coat

Next I have a sewing lovers's delightful little table of notions by Mary Wilson. 

I can't wait to see this one in person. http://aquariart-chocoholic.blogspot.com/2011/09/big-bead-soup-reveal.html

This Month's Las Vegas Polymer Clay Challenge Entries

Today I am Posting the:  

"I've Never Seen Anything Like This Before" Challenge Entries 

from my local Las Vegas Polymer Clay Guild. (LVPCG)

First from Marty who said,

"Heather, this is Zenphina, my zentangled fairy. 

Her legs, boots, wings, and hair are zentangled in clay..

but her dress is done with artists pens. 

Zentangling is a sophisticated form of doodling.

 A friend of mine turned me on to it. 

I went to Michael's to see if they had a book on zentangling. 

Everyone I asked had never heard of it before

...so, VOILA!. 

our theme:

"I've never seen anything like this before"

popped into my head, and I created "Zenphina" 

Zenphina hanging from her Golder Arch.

An even closer look shows you all the wonderful patterns Marty included in this Fairy.

Next up is Sophia who said, "Each of these sculptures/vessels encapsulates a chemo bottle inside.  Each has a bottle topper that can be pulled out.  These 3 works are designated for the Nevada Cancer Institute.  In our luxury of being able to create, it is always rewarding to create something for someone else."

And I am saying, 

"I woke up Tuesday morning and realized I had missed the meeting this month.

  I was extremely sleep deprived from all the preparation and physical moving of stuff

for the Mt Charleston Arts and Craft Show, 

and because I can't hear the alarm on my new phone.  

What good is an alarm if you can't hear it.  

BUT, 

I do have an entry:  

My "? Brooches"  by Heather

Next Month I think the theme is " A Stitch in Time".
