Just to keep you waiting!
As I will be very busy on the Salon Création et Savoir Faire with Karine and Fati very soon, I just wanted to show you photos of my new bracelets I will have with me to show on the salon as well as in the States right after...
Hey, these aren't bracelets??? Of course not, these are the 80 poker chips, ya 80!!! As most of you know, we swap poker chips at the end of the carnival. Yes, as soon as the Salon is over, I will fly to Las Vegas with my dear husband to attend the Las Vegas Clay Carnival with Donna Kato, Kim Cavender, Judy Belcher, Sue Kelsy, Cathy Johnston, Leslie Blackford, Lindly Haunani and last but not least Natalia Garcia de Leaniz.
I have to leave I haven't done the chalk pieces yet....

At last!
Had many things to do and prepare lately and didn't show you any of my work, since....
So here you go, all messed around : shinny earrings made a few months ago
A vase made last week-end for the Fair. I love the contrast between the two surfaces.
A clock inspired by a painting I saw monday when I was wondering around to empty my head of this week-end (I aften need to do that after a fair). I love it's raw side...(Am I getting freeky?)
And now it's really time to get back to my order....bye bye!

A turn
Some of you noticed that my work has changed in a certain manner since I came back from the Euro Clay Carnival in Nottingham this summer. I hadn't realized, but it triggered something in my mind and the manner I work evolved insidiously. This showed on my last bracelets mostly.
Lately I saw that I would be missing lamps for the Arts and Craft Fair next week-end and had to make new ones. Well, on the lamps too it shows, just couldn't make them as I used to, had to adapt them to my new ideas and work directions.
So I gave birth to a new lamp yesterday, but the colors don't contrast enough to me...
And a second new born today that suits me far better. Others will come up in the next days... No I didn't forget the second part of my order, but I still have time before the dead-end (early november).
