@Elizabeth: Sorry I missed your question. Too busy for my own good! The clay is all one piece. The stamp image is deep and kind of cut into so it looks raised on the surface when it’s stamped into the clay.

Thank you everyone else for your comments! I really appreciate all you guys have to say!

Stettler isn’t very far from where I live – perhaps an hours drive. If you come – at least come in the summer where there is the possibility of there not being any snow. All us Albertans say we’ve seen it snow every month of the year and it is very true. Surprised me to wake to 4 inches in August the very first year I moved here.

Hello to AIMS. This comment isn’t clay related. Just want to say I now live in Ohio, but I was born in Stettler, Alta. My parents are both from the States, but my dad’s company was up there exploring for oil and sent him to Stettler for a couple of years. I haven’t been back to western Canada since I was a baby. Alberta is certainly on my wish list of places to visit, and since I’m within a few years of retiring, I hope I’ll have time to get there before too long.

Well I’m still not wearing a coat outside yet! (A hoody is warm enough if I’m walking.)

I wish we had more snow here, but I do get bored of it after a week or so when it turns to slush – I’d love enough snow to ski and skate (not that I can ski or skate, ah well…)

I like the pendant Cindy, oak trees are cool! Got a little tiny one growing in my orchard which I’m going to move into the main garden in spring. And when I’m old and grey it’ll be a big tree and make lovely acorns for me to admire.

This means I can put my lonely acrylics to good use again! The remaining paints from past projects have been stored away, I’m glad to hear that they’re also compatible with polymer clay. I really like the richness of this pendant with just a few layers of color and texture… it’s such a nice effect.

Well Cindy – it is still snowing here as I type and there is over an inch on the ground and it is staying. We had hoped to come over to British Columbia this week but the passes look dangerous today – maybe tomorrow?

We don’t have trees that produce acorns in this part of the province. However I remember them well from my years in Ontario. I had thought recently of doing an acorn charm bracelet. Your pendant has again sparked that flame of creativity in me. So if the passes remain dangerous perhaps I’ll get the chance to make one!

Me too, Joyce. I’m off to the stamp store in search of acorn. Love this!!
Cindy, did you mount the acorn onto a base of clay to create the pendant?

Love this Cindy, right up my alley. Its on my “to do list”. Now off to find an acorn stamp. Thanks, just love it, love it, love it. I have now made some lentil beads and wow is that fun.
