Moving In

Box MaskAs I learn more about the potentials of blogging, I am refining and adding to the structure of this one as well as trying to find time for the actual posting! Today I am adding to the “blogroll” or list of links. I have so many wonderful sources of information and supplies and inspiration, and I want to share them. So I’ll be adding more as I go. AND I’m getting things ready for Major Undertakings–all sorts of things happen around here in the Spring, and not just planting the vegetable garden. We are only a week away from the annual Dyeing event, and I’m working on pictures and words for several new books, including the Miniature Masks collection. I’ll post more about that later this weekend.

The most recent Miniature Mask swap yielded a fabulous matchbox mask from Ellen Rumsey Bellenot. The mouth opens and closes–I love it!

Hello out there!

Japanese Girl PinAlthough I’ve been building websites for several years, blogs are a new phenomenon to me. My own Polyclay Gallery site just keeps growing and growing, and yet I feel a certain discontent when I see wonderful interactive sites like Cynthia Tinapple’s Polymer Clay Daily blog. Her clean, colorful, and constantly changing page is a “must see” for any polymer clay enthusiast. She made it irrisistable–blogs are a great way to be visible AND in touch with others. Although I update my web site with new pages and quarterly updates, its just not the same. And, many of my interests don fit neatly under the polymer clay “umbrella”, although they mostly all DO interconnect there!

So, it seems time to follow my own advice and start blogging on a regular basis. Please do come back and see how things progress, and I welcome comments.
