Very excited!

I am not sure how I have failed to mention this on my blog before but I am off to Polymer Play Days in Nottingham next week! Being a mother of 2 small children it is a real treat to be able to escape and have 3 days of pure polymer clay! I am looking forward to learning some new techniques, meeting some people I have met online in person and spending time with other people who actually know what polymer clay is! ( I am trying to educate the people around me ;)

I have been making beads for the bead swap which is part of this event along with 6 workshops. I am so indecisive I couldn't decide what to make at all so I have a large selection. I just hope there is something to interest everyone. I'll give you a sneak preview

 Can't wait to tell you all about it and show you the things I make in the workshops!

Patterned sheet swap

I am currently taking part in a patterned sheet swap held on PCC forum. This is a 2 part swap. The first was to make some patterned sheets and the second is to cover an object/objects with the patterned sheets you receive.

I didn't take a picture of my sheets but they were something like this. You can see them and all the other sheets sent in for the swap here on Barbara the host's flickr set (thanks Barbara for hosting and sharing these pictures ;)

Here are the sheets I received. I have until Saturday to do something with them so I had better get busy! I have a few ideas but want to make sure I really use them to their best advantage. I will post some pictures here when I have used them.
