I’m in the process of setting up a formal website for the miniatures and polymer clay work that I do. You’ll notice several changes to the blog – categories disappearing, pages deleted etc etc. There have been some major changes in my life in the last year and a half. I was diagnosed with a [...]

Just Claying Around
Posted in News, tagged Inro, Lighter Covers, Santa Baubles on December 3, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I’ve got new toys to play with, but finding time to do so seems impossible! I blinked and the end of the year rolled round. I’ve been indulging myself on weekends and spending time in the chat room at Polymer Clay Central on Saturdays and learning soooo much! Thanks Jean. Rock purses, inros and these [...]
Life and it’s quirks.
Posted in News on October 10, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
It’s been months since I’ve been able to get to post any news or even work at anything creative. For whatever obscure reason I’ve developed something called Compartment Syndrome which had me totally immobilised, both arms in rigid splints, for nearly 9 weeks. Talk about frustration! No clay, no art, no work of any kind. [...]
Miniatures & Room Boxes

I’ve finally had some time to work on making miniatures and uploading photos. It’s scary how few photos I have on file of the work I’ve done! So many pieces are one-offs and won’t be repeated and I’ve got no record of them at all. Guess I need to make my camera my new best [...]
Miniature Auction and Fair

Well the Mini Auction and Fair has come and gone. Last week this time I was working like a raving lunatic trying to create some stock for sale. I managed to make about 60 items before I ran out of steam at around 2:30am Saturday morning. Set up was at 8am. Suffice to say I [...]
Happy Easter and Auction News

Happy Easter everyone. Hope it was a good one. I decided to go ahead and submit a couple of pieces for the annual miniature auction – not without arm twisting by my friend Barbara. I started out with the intention of making cakes – paged through masses of cookery books, found recipes on the web [...]
Yahoo Groups, awards and other happenings

It’s been a while! Life is so hectic this year I barely get time to turn around and the day is gone. Tonight was the CATA award ceremony in which I was nominated for Best Set Design. Talk about feeling intimidated! I was up against 3 other candidates and tonight I got to meet those [...]
Christmas Ornaments
Posted in News on January 15, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I’ve been making Christmas ornaments for years. It started largely with paper and later salt dough. Then I discovered ceramics and the abundance of molds available for Christmas time. Once the kids came along, it was a case of making ornaments with them in whatever material was suitable for the age at the time. So [...]
Oh my!

Oh my! I’ve just received an email confirming that I’ve been nominated for the Cape Amateur Theatre Awards (CATA) for Best Set Design for a Midsummer Night’s Dream. In my wildest imaginings I didn’t think this would ever happen! I’ve been designing and building sets at the Playhouse Theatre in Somerset West for 8 years, [...]
Merry Xmas!

Merry Xmas everyone! The crazy rush of getting orders out, presents bought and wrapped, choir rehearsals, cooking, cleaning etc etc is over. Except for the cleaning part – that seems to be never-ending! I can finally catch my breath and sit down and work out a workshop schedule for the new year. I’ve already had [...]
