Hello all. I recently found out the group I belonged to is no longer going on. The Polymer Clay Smooshers site is closed. For the last couple of years I have been a part of this wonderful group of artists. I shall miss them all but hope to keep in touch as I can. Being a "Smoosher" has helped me to grow and push my limits. Something I learned is if you can think it, you can do it. I met a lot of great artists whose ideas inspired me. By being involved in the monthly challenges, I grew as an artist, always thinking of what to create for the newest challenge. There is no wrong way to create. You just need to jump in with both feet and begin. Pretty soon you will find that you are having fun watching a lump of clay turn into a piece of art. Practice and experiment. Get excited about color and form and shape. Look at other artists' work, read the books and magazines. Get inspired. Use your hands to create a work of art. Make something for Christmas, or someone's birthday, or just for fun. Having fun is the best part.
I shall miss the Polymer Clay Smooshers. I thank each and every one of these fantastic artists for their help, encouragement and friendship. May you all be happy and creative.
