Inspiration

Where do you get inspiration from? 
Just like everybody else I have learned thanks to the people who were willing to share their knowledge on the internet by means of tutorials and also by buying books of famous artists, like Donna Kato, Julie Picarello and Christi Friesen, which I found very helpful. I did some projects of those books and I loved it. However my goal is to get my own "signature" in the clay world. Where Christi is famous for her dragons, turtles and other great sculptures, Donna for her caning, and Julie for her mokume gane, I would love to be asociated with flowers.  I love flowers and mostly those I don´t have to water because I can´t even keep a cactus alive, so instead of torturing real plants and flowers I prefer to keep it with clay! Flowers are colourfull and make me think of spring and they give a touch of romance in a world always rushing and full of concrete and technology. Although I will certainly continue to experiment with styles and tecniques, flowers have my preference, my goal is to make them look as real as possible and to make wearable jewelry.

Hi! Welcome to my page & blog. 
I have to admit that I am not the greatest blogger and I am mostly to find on Facebook and on forums, but I will try to keep you updated with what I am working on every now and then. 
I started with polymer clay about a year and a half ago and at the time I could not imagine the implications of starting with it. Not only is it lovely to work with and you never finish to learn and discover but also you get to be part of the big polymer clay clan, which only gets bigger and bigger. Being part of that clan, by means of forums, groups and facebook implies not only support, but it also makes you humble about your work if you see the work of other clayers. I know I am still at the bottom of the ladder but I love seeing my work improve little by little.
