\"Raindrop <\/span>“I am constantly seeing colors and patterns that I am eager to reproduce in polymer clay.”~Maria-C<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

There are so many wonderful mini conversations<\/em> that happen in the daily comment threads of this blog. And I know that many of you don’t get a chance to enjoy all of them, because… well, you also have lives outside of polymer clay too. Hard to believe, I know, but it’s true <she says with a mischievous little twinkle in her eye><\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today I want to highlight one of those delightful exchanges that recently put a smile on my face. Hopefully some of you will be able to relate as well… and add your own thoughts in the comments section of this post.<\/span><\/p>\n

It all started with an insightful quote from Jocelyn-C…<\/span><\/p>\n

For inspiration, I like to walk around and see stuff nearby, like the first spring sun coming through the first greenery of the season, layering through the canopy, and I think to myself, dang, how could I make something that captures that moment out of polymer clay.<\/span> ~Jocelyn-C<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Then Anna (Silverleaf) piped up…<\/span><\/p>\n

I love Jocelyn’s quote about capturing<\/em> things in clay – I saw Avatar in 3D the other night and I had so many moments in the film where I was thinking, “Wow, look at the colours\/textures there, how can I recreate that idea in polymer clay?” Sounds like the start of one of those lists, “You know you’re obsessed with polymer clay when…” ;)<\/span> ~Silverleaf<\/strong><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And Maria-C added…<\/span><\/p>\n

How funny Silverleaf! I was thinking the same thing during the movie too! We are all obsessed with this stuff, aren’t we? I am constantly seeing colors and patterns that I am eager to reproduce in polymer clay. My family knows that half-glazed look in my eyes by now and just roll their eyes… “there goes Mom again!” <\/span>~Maria-C<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I know exactly what you gals are talking about! Though I haven’t seen the Avatar movie yet (kids saw it with their grandparents)<\/em>, I am constantly being inspired by my surroundings.<\/span><\/p>\n

In fact, the pouring rain that I was complaining about in my Thoughts of Spring<\/a> article, actually ended up inspiring me to make the Rain Drops Keep Falling on My Head<\/em> earrings pictured above in today’s photo at the top of this page.<\/span><\/p>\n

So what makes you think of polymer clay? I would love to hear your stories. They are so fun to read!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
