Yahoo! Finally getting around to teaching another clay class! I actually love to teach other people how to make a cane, create colorful pictures out of a hunk of clay! It is truly a wonderful way to express your creativity and I love it.
So, tomorrow my student Deborah, is coming to learn a few new techniques. Deborah wants to learn how to make a leopard skin cane! She saw my beads on my Etsy shop and wants to learn how to do it too! Awesome. Can't wait to show her how.
If anyone else is interested in learning how, just email me or post on FB what you are interested in learning and we will go from there.
Gotta go get set up for tomorrow. Sweet dreams everyone.

Relisted Items on Etsy
Ok, so I have relisted items in my Etsy Shop this month. Watch for new items in a few days. I have been busy with a "netting stitch" lariat necklace that is to be donated for the Tanglewood Cancer Benefit. This necklace is very tedious, but, Oh the results are just so beautiful.
I have also been helping some friends with their new computer, learning how to work it, setting up email, teaching them to type, and all that stuff.
Also, getting some more supplies in to make glass beads too! There is just not enough hours in the day it seems.
Have also been going to chiropractor regarding my righ arm/hand. It seems I have pulled a muscle and index and ring fingers don't want to work to well. hmmmm...could be a problem making beads huh?
oh well...off to create something.
Night all!

New Year's Resoulution?
Ok, so here it is, my New Year's resoulution. WRITE ON MY BLOG EVERYDAY....WELL, OK..maybe every other day! The days sure do pass quickly lately. I have been on a few trips this summer/fall and am now getting back into my artsy fartsy stuff! After having my total knee replacement done in September and sitting in the recliner for a few weeks, I got addicted to Dr. Oz, The Nate show and a few others, plus movies. So I gotta stop that sitting around. I just joined a gym, so I am fulfilling lots of promises to myself. Yay!
I am setting up my flameworking tools today (blogging while the release stuff dries on the mandrels) so that I can "melt some glass!" I have been wanting to do this for along time, so it will be done today!
I am also starting my polymer clay classes here in my studio, if anyone is interested and you are local! Small fee for supplies, unless you bring your own and only $10 per hour for class time. Great deal! I will be teaching how to make flowers, the leaves of course and other canes as well. I will post date/time later.
So here's wishing everyone a wonderful, propserous, blessed, healthy and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
LOVE YA ALL

Getcha' Motor Runnin'
I was having a wonderful clay day with my friend Alice Stroppel the other day in her awesome studio at her house. We were just getting started and I was "cranking" the ole pasta machine around and around to condition my polymer clay! Alice says to me, "Girl, you need to use my motorized pasta machine!" I am thinking, "oh those things are so noisy!" But, she kept insisting (bless her heart-*grin*) So, I said, "OHHHHHHKAAAAYY" I will try it. Well, my new motor should be arriving next week! LOL! And I can't wait to use it!
Alice and I had a lengthy discussion on how much our neck and arms hurt from constantly turning the crank on the pasta machine for all those years. This motor acutally fits on my existing machine and will totally eliminate all that cranking. I just wish, for my poor body, that I had purchased one sooner. I will keep you posted on how things come out! So, Thanks Alice!

New Look
Well, I was fooling around in the design area of my blog and decided I love RED..so Polymer Clay Muse has a "new look!" Let me know if you like it! I sure do!
Finally! New Posts to Etsy Shop!
Well, I have finally made myself sit down, take pictures of some of my jewelry and get it posted on my Etsy shop. I used to sell on Etsy a few years ago, and now I am back. Can't wait to show you all what I have in my "bead closet." Anyone that knows me (you students especially) know what that bead closet looks like. HA! Feel free to browse and shop. Remember Christmas is coming (I know! it is still 95 degrees) and I will post more every few days.
I love the newest "Rose of Sharon" (named after my sister Sharon) flower cane I have done, so watch for that listing coming soon. I have also designed a unique and beautiful "bling" bracelet named for my beautiful granddaughter Alyssa. I call it "The Alyssa Bracelet" of course. It is rows of gorgeous Swarovski crystals, stitched in a right angle weave with a toggle clasp on the end. It is so sweet & pretty, just like her!
Getting ready to go to Michigan on Tuesday for a few days to take my grandson Alec home. He has been with us for a month and he is having X Box withdrawal! I almost bought one, but came to my senses quickly when I realized I don't want Dean getting hooked on anything else. LOL!
So, check out my ETSY shop at www.sherrysbeadstudio.etsy.com
when you get the chance. And HEY! Tell your friends! I appreciate it very much.
See ya'll soon. (geez, I sound like Paula Deen)

New Canes Are Comng Soon!
Yes! I am working on something new and exciting! ( a little hint-it involves wings)Finally! I know, I know, I promised to post more often. I really seem to have been in a rut lately with all the "happenings" in our little community here in Florida. It is such a busy, busy place to live, but we sure have fun.
My students have kept me busy teaching them new jewelry designs also. Plus organizing, the "bead closet" is a never ending JOB!!!! and then there is the ordering part! ugh! This year, we decided to order together to cut down on costs, because none of us really NEED all the beads we have anyway! Right gals?
Most of the students have gone back north now. It is afterall, April. And spring is in the air!
I see visions of purples, yellows, fuchsia, butterflies and hummingbirds too! wow, what cool canes you can make of those. We will see what comes next!
I have recently connected with some old high school friends on facebook. Such an interesting way to stay in touch and look into others lives, hmmmmm...
Ok, all for now! Will post pictures this week sometime, so be on the lookout!
Have a wonderful week, I know I will.
