San Diego Fair 2013

We demoed for the San Diego Polymer Clay Guild, which we belong to, saturday June 15th in the Home and Hobby area.  We found our entries and results.  Together we got 3: 2nd place ribbons and 3: Honorable Mentions.  There were 1950 entries in Home and Hobby this year so we are proud of ribbons.  Sorry the pictures arent the greatest being the pieces are behind glass and poorly lit.  But the fair does a great job in organizing all the entries in the space they have.

Spring 2013 Clay Projects

Well you will have to wait until after we visit the San Diego County Fair to see Yvette's projects so we cna take some pictures.  It was a hectic time for her with the fair deadlines, taking final for accounting class along with a final project, and getting the kiddos end of school stuff together.  But here are some projects I have done the Spring, i have a few projects in mind for summer and hope to be productive having the fridays off during our summer 4/10 schedule

This was a 2013 pay-it-forward gift Kasi did for Yvette.  It also inspired a Fairy Door Class for the San Diego Polymer Clay Guild's Round Robin
This was a bottle of hope created for the San Diego Polymer Clay Guild Monthly challenge: Big Foot, Spring, and Sparkle (he has bling in his belly button)

I up-cycled a tin can to make the fairy house box with polymer clay, needle felting and lots of "lost things".  I did enter this into the San Diego County Fair and received a 2nd place ribbon

This was Yvette's Round Robin Clay, a super fun class and project
