I took a Great Polymer Clay Class!

And I didn't even have to leave my house!!!!

Craftedu

is a multi media site full of classes by excellent instructors!

I've taken metal classes, lampwork classes, and now, I'm focusing on 

polymer clay classes.

This is my most recent class.

The Sorcerer's Stone.

Click on the above link, and you'll go to a preview of the class.

There are many free classes on this site, too, many of which I have taken.

I don't think I've had a worthless class yet.

I like this little guy, 

however,

the one mistake I made is that I over baked him a bit.

I like to think that this stone just got a little bit too much sun.  

I plan to make more, but I'd like to take them in a slightly different direction.  

We'll see what comes of my idea. 

Stay tuned!!!

Bernadette Fuentes, Master Artist and Teacher

I'd like to introduce you to Bernadette Fuentes, master artist, teacher, one of the most creative glass artists I have ever met.
I recently took an online class at CrafteEdu.com.
That class was titled: Flameworked Off Mandrel Hand,
and
it was taught by Bernadette.
Now, I don't have my hand to show you,
I need to watch the class again.
I have 11 times more to watch it in the next year.
I think I am going to need all of those viewings.
Bernadette makes something that is very difficult look very easy.
This tutorial is absolutely wonderful!
Bernadette explains each step completely.
However, there is a significant difference in her abilities and mine.
I need to watch the class more times so that I can make an off mandrel hand.

Now, Bernadette did send me some photos of her hands.
However,
because I have a quick delete hand,
I accidentally deleted it.
My next option was to photograph the hand I own
and show that to you.
So, I did.
In structure,
it is the same hand.
The colors are different.
I love my BF hand!
If you check out Bernadette's web site,
you'll be able to see
the hand that she teaches.
It is awesome
and
very reasonably priced.
Bernadette also offers another class on CraftEdu.com.
The class is called
Clear Encased Flower Bead.
That class is next on my list of online classes.
Now,
enjoy the photos I was able to steal from
Bernadette's Facebook Page.

Master artist!
