September Theme - "Cute Animals"

Hello everyone!

In this blog post I would like to announce the new competition theme for the month of September:
   "Cute Animals"
You can do quite a lot with this theme and create any kind of objects (functional/not functional) and play around with shapes, designs, colours, styles, characters and so on. I think this is very sweet and exciting theme to participate and as days are getting colder, clay gets more and more attractive day by day.
Enjoy the theme and a little inspirational collage I made:

Ocean

Hello my sweet honey bunnies!
I am happy to announce our July competition theme which is:
"Ocean. The waves and the depths"
This may sound quite weird, maybe a bit confusing but this is why I am writing this post. I want to make sure everyone knows what they gonna make :)


Ocean is a beautiful place. If there is one thing on this planet I would like to live, that would be next to the ocean, or the sea at least. It calls me with it's magic, it tempts me with it's cool waters and beautiful creatures that so harmonically live in it. They say that humans know much more about our planet and about space than they know about the ocean. This gives me the right to say, that if something haven't been yet discovered in the depths of the ocean - it can exist!
So grab your polymer clay and show the world what sort of creatures can be yet discovered down below the surface of the deep blue ocean water. 
Your choices can be different and this is why this theme is so cool!

You can play with ocean scenes by itself and have a bursts and rainbows of sunshine and colour. You can go El Naturel ( Lol) and make realistic scenes... or you can go all patchy and garlicky and make a cool artwork.
ZOOM IN!
Or you can go and imagine unseen and undiscovered creatures of the ocean that are hidden in the depths. Then can be mechanical, organic, scary or pretty, they can glow in the dark, too (hint!).
ZOOM IN!
Or maybe you are more classy or not ready yet to do complicated things, then go with something familiar - like FISH.. but make it interesting! Use different styles, explore Google and Pinterest for amazing fish artworks and techniques and clay away!
ZOOM IN!
But... if you feel like clay fish is not something breathtaking, then play with forms and shapes of the ocean waves, corals and organic elements and make an abstract ocean themed sculptural objects.
ZOOM IN!
In any way - please enjoy yourself and be ready by 25th of JULY with your entries entered into one of three competition folders!

HELPFUL RESOURCES:

As always (just to remind the newbies!) we are going to have a voting and a main prize to a winner so it's worth a shot! You can win cool #Claybag full of goodies, clays, tools, materials and stuff worth approx $25.

Also a little reminder to the older group members! I think it is that time of the year when we need to scrape on the bottom of our electronically purses and find a little coin for donations :) We are running out of resources pretty quickly :) You can donate on the right side of this blog where you see a turquoise blue heart :) 
Thank you for those who donated last time. This money made us last for 3 months! Great!

Thanks for reading!
I hope you will be able to participate this month!

Hello my sweet honey bunnies and others :)

I would like to announce the theme for February Competition.
We going to be making MAGIC OWLS

Please make sure you are participating and putting all your effort into making that owl. Here I attached an INSPIRATIONAL PINTEREST BOAD  which will help you to get inspired! You can go for figurines, wall artworks or anything else you like as long as it is:
  • 1) Owl related!
  • 2) Colorful!
Yes yes, we are not going to make realistic owls! Let's go crazy and use some techniques, textures and colours and end up with an amazing collection of beautiful artworks!
